Nice to see Myers finally make it. It was a long road with some bumps and bruises, but its good to see a guy I liked back when he was 18 in Aberdeen finally fulfill his promise.

He finally proved you were right - never should have traded him for Beckham!  😎

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/

I'm officially beating the drum for Cesar Prieto.

He's 25 and has a .296/.339/.480/.819 line in AAA. I feel like he's more than deserving of a look for St. Louis. They have a 1st round pick (19th) Nolan Gorman playing there, I guess, but he's got a .665 OPS in 267 ABs. 

Call up Prieto! :)

The Brewers' starter last night was lefty Rob Zastryzny.   I guess an opener, he went one inning.   He was in camp one year with the O's but didn't ever pitch for us, major or minors.   He's 32 years old and his inning last night means he has pitched in the majors 7 out of the last 9 years... for a grand total of 60.1 MLB innings.

Yeah, I was not happy that he was the arm they sent, but Tampa knew what they were doing when they cherry picked him out of the options that they were probably getting. 

Saying that, it took him awhile and he never quite made it with Tampa, so sometimes guys just take a while. 

I do think it's cool if you go back there are guys I liked out of that draft including 11th rounder Zach Muckenhirn who at least ended up with a cup of coffee in the majors.

I won't root against the young man. I don't know if he has improved his defense, but his lack of real position hurt his prospect status overall. Saying that, an .819 OPS in AAA doesn't scream out to me with the way offense has been with the robo umps.

A .919 OPS doesn’t even scream out anymore.  Lol

Poor Ryan McKenna, after going hitless in his 6 PAAs with the Giants then slashing  .174/.310/.217/.528 in 28 PAs in AAA for them, they sent him to AA where he looks pretty lost against Baysox pitching. 

He was leading off in last night's game and struck out looking from a 94 MPH Peter Van Loon fastball and they showed how walking back to the dugout and he looked like a man defeated. No sweat ban, no swagger, just looking like a guy who may be realizing his career is about over. 

He's only 27 so never say never, but the poor guy looked defeated last night.

      This Playoff Start From Burnes Defines His Time With the O’s

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      2nd in AL CYA 8 IP of 1 run ball in the playoffs What more could he have done?  Maybe if we let him go those extra 5+ IP in the regular season then he lands on the IL.  We still would've been in the WC round anyway.   We should've let him DH over Adley, I guess.

      I'm not sure that is it - just hasn't had enough opportunities to be a regular in the lineup. He is placed in the high leverage situations out of desperation for platoon advantage.

      Yes, Elias' Waltimore cost the Orioles two runs yesterday and took one away from the Royals.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      Its just on the other side of the Ravens stadium. Not a bad walk. Parked there in regular season, went game 2 and it was free. Went later in the summer is was $5. As someone coming from Delaware, its perfect because I can pull right out and go to the light and turn left on 295 and be heading home without having to zig zag through all the side streets that you have to do when parking in stadium lots.

      Erceg vs Seranthony Dominguez

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Around the trading deadline, the Royals went and got Lucas Erceg from the A's for P Mason Barnett (minors), Jared Dickey (minors) and P Will Klein.  Looking at those three prospects, two were pitchers with Barrett being the best prospect of them all but was more on the 4th/5th starter level.  Elias went cheap and went for Dominguez by trading away Hays. Erceg immediate became the closer and pitched well: Notice the no home runs allowed and all top it all he's never allowed a stolen base while on the mound. Only one guy even attempted it and was caught. Seems like the perfect match to be a closer, no home runs, he misses bats, throw 99 MPH, and you can't steal off him.  Elias went out and got Seranthony Dominguez who was then made closer, then lost it.  Dominguez, who has always had a homer problem, allowed 6 in just 22.2 innings, and base runners are 21 for 23 in their career running off him.  He did only blow one save opportunity but allowed two walk off home runs. There are two points I'd like to make. One, it took pitching prospects to get a good relief pitcher and two, Erceg was the kind of reliever the Orioles should have been targeting at the trade deadline.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      No, I'm not missing the point. I really kind of addressed it when I said he can do what he wants in his free time and we're allowed to say things like Instagram videos with his girlfriends are stupid.   Asking questions isn't proving points, or making points.  Like I said, it's borderline conspiracy theory...trying to find reasoning when reasoning isn't readily visible.  That's why we're upset here, because he's suddenly gone off a cliff and we're searching for answers because there's no obvious injury, right? But like I said, we can't call him a good leader and extol all his virtues and then turn right around and wonder if he's easily distracted.  It's either one or the other...and we've been praising him about his leadership qualities ever since he came up.  And now we want to wonder if he's distracted?  By a girl? I know you're not saying it's definitely the case, but I think it's silly that anyone would suggest a girlfriend is the possible reason he's not working as hard and he's not watching as much tape (I'm addressing your point here, to be clear) and he's not the leader he once was and the reason why he's lost .100 points in OPS from '23.  IMO, he looks out of shape.  He looks like he's gained weight.  Kind of hard to tell if that's good weight or bad weight, but he just doesn't look the same. That said, weight gain doesn't explain why his plate approach has gone to ****.  A girlfriend doesn't explain that, either.

      Urias didn’t hit well down the stretch. He had a 654 OPs after coming back.
