Peter Bendix options Connor Norby to Triple-A Jacksonville.

That sucks for Norby. I feel for the guy. Was about to get regular ML playing time with us. Traded to a wayyy inferior team. Aaaaand.....back to AAA.

I mentioned this guy as a rule 5 for the bullpen.  Yeah, those geniuses in Milwaukee with the pitching lab had him all last year in AA and left him exposed this past winter.  When I saw him make his first few starts this year and he looked pretty bad.   Then I realized why they didn’t protect him.  Now he’s lights out.  It’s baseball.  Go figure.

Stowers 2 for 32 w/ 16 K's so far for the Marlins.  .229 OPS.  Eerily reminiscent of Holliday's numbers during his first callup.  I was hoping Stowers would take his chance and run with it.  If he doesn't lock down a spot with the Marlins, I'm not sure where else he'll get a chance.  I assume the Marlins will give him a minor league contract next year regardless.

    • The Red Sox joined the Orioles yesterday in dropping a game to the White Sox last week, and were swept in their non-White Sox series, but Minnesota's stumbles are keeping them in vague striking distance of AL6.    They go to Yankee Stadium for the big 4-game series right after this one. The pitching matchups - AL Active Roster K-bb standing as SP, 50 inning minimum, a batch of 65 today: (62) Povich v. (43) Bello (53) Suarez v. (30) Kutter C. (48) Kremer v. (5) Pivetta The Orioles starters perhaps tier like Burnes-Eflin-Grayson, then gap, then these three.    All are capable of throwing good games.    ERA is kinder - Suarez and Kremer 22nd and 43rd there, giving some representation above the Bottom 25%.    Sooner or later, one or more of these pitchers will have the Nestor Cortes Life Experience as the finish line nears. Trevor Story's bad shoulder injury early has ended up not being season ending and he is 2 games back.   An infielder with pop, he maybe gives a little preview of the kind of rust Westburg may be trying to shed fast in a couple weeks. Impending free agent Tyler O'Neill is the hottest bat - Duran and Devers have been cooler lately.    Devers and Ceddanne Rafaela's last 30 days wRC+'s are in the 50's, lower than Adley's in the 60's, but not lower than Holliday's in the 40's, among qualified Bats. Manny Machado look alike Brennan Bernardino is the only LHP on the staff for the moment, so maybe a chance for Orioles platoon sensitive bats to get going a little bit.  Povich's 5.76 ERA 12 starts into his career I believe without looking it up beats Bradish and Grayson's, and he is coming off a fine game.    Are his Rookie Integration Taxes paid up?     Fenway traditionally tough on all LHP.
    • Difference is that you would be using him as a backup vs a starter.  Now, perhaps, you think he just needs more reps to maximize his talent, which is fair.
    • Think I may take a nap till the 29th. Wake and see where we are. Watching this team try to hit is like watching paint dry. I see darn few competitive at bats. I think they all caught whatever Mullins had at the beginning of the year. And Adley, looks like a guy with severe jock itch trying to hit. I like Cowser but IMO if he wins ROY, it's a testament to the lackluster rookie class and not his overall play. These guys can't be this bad - this tired? Oh crap - I just looked at our starters for the series. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 😄
    • Nice accomplishment by Aberdeen.   I did notice that Delmarva had 3 SB the other night but was caught 5 times.    I’ve never noticed 5 CS at either the ML level or the minor league level.  I just know it’s a lot.  
    • Heston looked solid at Aberdeen yesterday.  Two solid hits and then a walk.  They removed him from the game again after 3 PA.   As the Ironbirds are now finished for the year I presume he will get bumped up to Bowie or Norfolk.
    • The other thing they are missing is Burnes...where is the "Ace"?   His sudden mediocrity and inability to keep runners off base and control the run game have been dissapointing and sure to be exploited the rest of the way. This scares me more than anything else.
