I am unconvinced about Stewart, but as slim as it is, he has a greater chance than Smith to be more than he is, so no. 

I didn't say I agreed with playing him more than DJ.   Just noted that it seems to be happening.

If you are going to option Sisco now you might as well trade or release him at this point.

The catcher sits right is front of the ump and  is very close to each batter.  They are exposed.  Probably not a good time to trade or release a catcher.

You don't say?

Notice I didn't say that I thought they would.

If they think so little of Sisco he can't make this team, with the way Severino is playing defense, I don't see how he could ever have a future on this team.

Rutschman has a future as a catcher with the O's.   Other catching positions are up for grabs.

Huh?

 

None of our current catchers will be part of any competitive Orioles teams of the future. The can be used during this season, however long it lasts, in any way the O's want to use them. That includes trading Pedro Severino if he keeps hitting.

I’ve noticed that too, and I’m curious about it. I mean Stewart maybe terrible he may be fine, but we’re not going to find out one way or the other until we play him.

Smith, on the other hand, is about is known quantity as known quantities can get.

So I am with you on this one.

Agreed. My only thought is that Dwight Smith Jr. is being played right now in the off chance they can trade him for a shiny bucket of balls. I'd be surprised if he's ahead of Stewart on the "depth chart" though I agree with you that the chance of either being a major part of the future is not good.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Starting to digest some of the almost year end numbers, he's looking good for 3rd MLB-wide in HR. The .228 BABIP is lowest by a good deal among today's 131 qualified Bats on FG.    That isn't an accident - his 30.4 GB% is 2nd lowest to Mookie Betts.     Santander has been about as successful as any MLB hitter getting ground balls out of the equation.    Elevate and Celebrate! The difference between an 80 bat like Mookie and him is Mookie can do it without popping up a zillion times - Santander's infield fly ball rate near the top. At year end on the other end of that sort, Cowser is still leading MLB at that Votto-ish "never pops up" thing.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      It’s good to see Burnes getting into top form just as the playoffs are looming.

      AL playoff picture

      Burnes can pitch on normal rest and lineup for Game 1. Thurs against NY and Tuesday for Game 1.  Eflin and others may need to be moved around. Kremer/Suarez combo for Game 3 (if necessary).  The Twins series likely won’t matter for us, unless the Yankees tank. This will allow some flexibility to skip guys to line them up for the following week.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Hallas · Posted

      By WAR, Gil is about tied with Cowser at 2.4 fangraphs/3.6 bbref (cowser is basically the reverse of that.)  Wells is slightly ahead of both but he's slumping.  Pretty tight race to be honest. A good week from Cowser could seal it.   As it stands i probably give it to Gil just because starting pitchers are so hard to come by.  But Cowser could change my mind.

      Nobody is claiming that. However he did hit last night but he let 2 or 3 balls get past him and missed a throw from Jackson.  If a guy gets optioned after showing a sign of improvement at the plate, but struggles to field his position, what's the most likely overwhelming deciding factor then? The Orioles are an organization that believes in strong defensive play, which is why we carried a player like Urias or Mateo for so many seasons even when they were struggling to hit.

      If his year is over, B-Ref has it -0.7 WAR in 41 PA. That is turning up the heat some on 2023 Colton Cowser's -0.8 WAR in 77 PA. I'm hopeful '25 Mayo can be about as helpful as '24 Cowser.

      Yeah that .098 average was keeping him safe.
