Much rather keep Velazquez over Mullins. Smith got to go, though.

Nah.  The logic is past due on all of them. By holding them down as long as they have this year, the extra year has been gained. No need to keep play that game with these players.  If it wer

Thought my Super 2 commentary was pertinent in this thread, so I am copy/pasting it here:

Super 2 eligibility is based on the top 22 percent of service time for players between 2 and 3 years of service time, there is no way of knowing in advance how long a player has to be held back to avoid Super 2. Last year, the cutoff was 2 years and 115 days which is the lowest it has ever been. The previous lowest it had been was 2 years and 122 days. Because days are pro-rated this year, each day of this season counts for approximately 2.7 days of service time. There are 42 days left in the season, which would equate to 114.54 days of service time remaining in the season.

It does seem like an awful lot of top prospects have been called up in the last week, so if those players stay up it becomes less likely that Mountcastle will be among the top 22 percent, but there is no way to know entirely because players can be called up and sent down over the next could years. Teams don't know for sure until after the player's third season whether he will be Super 2 arbitration eligible.

Good Lord I hope they change this with the upcoming collective bargaining agreement.

Mountcastle is a whole separate issue to me. Pretty unanimous how people feel. 

I think the arms are a little more understandable. For one, they need to keep guys stretched out the best they can at Bowie. It really comes down to how long of a leash for LeBlanc right now. Milone, Means, Cobb and Wojo have either the resume and/or production so far this year to keep them in the rotation. 

The pen has been pretty good. The last 1-2 guys Hess, Phillips types have struggled. So do you call up arms to pitch in long relief like Akin or keep them stretched out at Bowie? This isn’t a normal year obviously. I figured going into the season we would see these guys after the trade deadline or so. 

I guessed we may see some of the arms in September to get a look. If the team remains competitive that will impact things.

This is not the 3rd grade so I'm not going to tell you what color you can discuss things in, but I will ignore anything in green.

When I was in the army I learned that everything was either written in black ink or not at all. Green ink is for four-year-old girls who want to impress the teacher.

 Do you remember those giant pens that had 25 or 30 colors and you press a little button to get the particular color you wanted? I thought those were the stupidest things in the world when I was a little boy but I really wanted one because they look like a spaceship.

      The outfield might be slick from all the rain. I think that can influence lineup decisions.

      Rutschman 2nd half OPS .585 - McCann’s 2nd half OPS .785

      I’ve been rending my garments over Adley and his struggles for months now. But I will say that it seems like a bit of an odd time to come together as a group on the notion of benching him — just as he’s been starting to show some signs of being Adley again.  Over the last week of the season, Adley had a 50% hard hit rate and an average EV of 89.9 MPH. Those numbers absolutely dwarf what he was doing for months, when he was sitting at more like a 26% HH rate and an 85 MPH EV. Anecdotally, I can’t even remember the last time we saw Adley drive a ball into the left-center gap like he did multiple times against MIN. That’s Adley at his very best, and it was a sight for sore eyes.  I’m not sold that he’s 100% back, and I would still stick with McCann catching Burnes tomorrow (especially since using Adley as the DH is viable with a LHP starter in Ragans). But I sincerely doubt we can run the table without at least a few stretches of Adley being Adley — so I think this recent spurt is probably enough to warrant sending him out there every day still, in hopes that he really is getting it locked back in.

      Apparently, if you just waited to buy tickets, you could just basically go for free. Well done orioles.

      Well, they likely would not have drafted an overslot SS with the second round pick if they had taken another HS SS first overall, so would you rather have Henderson and Rutschman or just Witt?

      It’s my understanding that nationally televised games are usually blacked out. Consider a free trial subscription of Fubo if they are still offering it.

      Playoff Bullpen Usage

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      The Orioles starters absolutely have to do better against the Royals. You can't ask this bullpen to pitch most of the game and expect to win. Right now I probably trust Coulombe the most and Soto (which I never would have guessed a couple weeks back). Perez has been really shaky recently to the point I'm wondering is he nursing a tired arm or minor injuey. Cano hasn't been good as well and O's really need him to get back into a groove. And Akin is usually trustworthy, but only starting the inning clean.
