It was just a procedural move to allow him to spend a couple extra days with his newborn: https://dodgersnation.com/dodgers-news-evan-phillips-expected-to-rejoin-team-in-pittsburgh-today/2023/04/25/

It hurts to look at Josh Hader's stats.  Best young lefty reliever in baseball?

Tonight he pitched 2.2 innings striking out 8. He issued an intentional walk and got the save. Becoming a younger Andrew Miller.

Hader is on pace for 211 strikeouts currently as a relief pitcher!  The last time the Orioles had a pitcher strikeout over 200 batters in a season was Bedard in 2007.

I really don't understand why they did that, but it's just a minor league deal.  Remember, Flash was signed mainly because Johan Comargo was injured, and he's back on the active roster now.  And the Braves have super-looking prospect Austin Riley dominating AA.  So I don't see much use for Bautista and really doubt he can still play 3rd base at a reasonable level.  I really like Comargo - he's a vacuum-cleaner with enough range to play SS, and he hits better than expected.  

It's a blast to see Flash doing so well - realizing there's no chance he can keep it up all season.  His walks have been a result of batting 8th in the NL and being hot.  When there have been runners on base for him and 2 men out, he gets pitched around, so the other team can face the pitcher.  He was even intentionally walked twice in one game.  What a hoot!  

11 days later...............

Flash Flaherty is hitting .300/.398/.400...........looks like his return back to his career norms is rather imminent (he is just 3 for his last 24).

In the meantime, it looks like Jose Bautista is struggling to hit AAA pitching so far.   Jose has a .565 OPS down there.......in admittedly a pretty small sample size (8 games).

He's probably upset that minor leaguers have the audacity to try and get him out.  It's pretty disrespectful to be honest.

Comargo gets no respect, but he's the guy who should be playing every day.  He did very well last year as a rookie, and he's showing he's likely gong to do better this year.

And Comargo is still the best choice to play 3B.  He played very well last year, and has shown that he's ready to do even better this year.  Meanwhile, Flash is perfectly fine as a utility infielder.  I still say it makes zero sense for Atl to use Bautista at 3B.    

I don't understand why they signed him in the first place.

He is currently on the Braves roster and seems to play every other day or so.   Not always as a starter.

First game was 18 April, he must have started the year off on the DL.

Yeah, only 3 starts, looks more like a late inning def replacement.

Guess they don't want to take Ryan Flaherty's "hot" bat out of the lineup......quite yet.  ;)

Speaking of ComargO and the BravOs, Braves are excited about actually playing well to start the season, have money, and could be interested in Manny as a 3rd baseman.  Comargo and a pitching prospect (Braves have tons) probably makes sense.  Comargo's another player who can play SS or 3rd base.  Because of the presence of Albies and Swanson, nobody paid much attention to Comargo, but I think he's a legit talented young infielder who should be starting in the majors.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
