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.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I’ve been in a mild state of sports depression since Wednesday. Angry and disappointed at what felt like, for me personally, the worst Orioles loss of my life time. But as I drove up to my house today, I looked at my Orioles flag, and I felt love. Love for the Orioles and love for the guys on this team. I remember getting a little emotional in 2018 when the previous core got blown up. I wondered if I’d be as invested with a new cropping of players. Well dammit, I ride with these dudes. I believe in them. They’re young, they’re talented, they play for each other. Growth is often not linear. Maybe Hyde can adjust, maybe he can’t. There’s plenty of questions now   It’s going to be long wait. And I have no idea if this team capitalizes on their potential. But I’ll be rooting for it. Because I love Baltimore, I love the Orioles, and I love these guys. I still don’t want to take down my flag just yet…. Go O’s!

      Still think this team didn't choke under pressure?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Yeah, it really is interesting because when I watch Lowe in regular season games, he (like many of the Tampa hitters) has quality at-bats and is very tough to get out. I have always thought of him as a really solid player and I actually feel bad for him because that kind of narrative comes to define you as a player for a lot of fans.....especially your own fanbase and especially when they have never won the whole thing. The good news is the narrative can change quickly, but you really do have to come through at some point to help your team win the title. Even though it was just one game and one series, I think Game 5 of the 1983 World Series was extremely important to Eddie Murray's legacy given it was on the heels of an 0-21 streak ending the 1979 series and 2-16 heading into that final game in Philly.

      O's target? Roki Sasaki

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      If we have the money to sign him, he would absolutely be my #1 target, ahead of Burnes and Soto.

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Yeah, that game was amazing. The precursor to that was on Monday in Atlanta in Game 1 of the DH. The Mets had a 6-3 lead going to the bottom of the 8th and the Braves scored 4, topped off by an Albies bases loaded double.  So they went to the 9th down 7-6 after a really disheartening inning. Then Lindor hit a 2-run homer in the top of the 9th and the Mets ended up winning 8-7, which sent them to the playoffs.  When you do something like that, it can really build confidence and I think it helped them a lot last night. There is no way the Os would have been capable of either of the comebacks the Mets just pulled off, but it was really outstanding to watch.  Having guys like Lindor and Alonso really helps!  Philly is going to have their hands full with these Mets.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      What would O’Hearn get if he does become a free agent?  He doesn’t hit for ton of power, decent runner but not lot of speed, average hitter with average on base percentage that doesn’t play defense well and mostly a platoon DH type guy. Could you decline option and get him for less or is he at market value at 8 milliin.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I think at his age he's going to be what he's going to be velocity wise. Some guys are just going to be slim. He's not going to suddenly gains 15 pounds of muscle.
