No indication as to why, per Meoli.  As a Santander fan, I hope they aren't working on a trade and keeping him out of the lineup.  I also hope he isn't dealing with an injury, but this is usually the time when a team tries to play its regulars and ramp up at bats, etc.

If he were in trade talks, wouldn’t that be happening more quickly than over four days? Could it be that they still want to try… Well, I got nothin’...

Yeah, that's the thing, I don't know.  Maybe it's just a little nagging injury and they are keeping him out as a precaution.  That's my hope.

But wouldn't they have said something by now if it was an injury?  Seems like something's up here.  Or... the O's management just doesn't care enough to keep the remaining fans updated.

Also it's coinciding with the Jimenez injury which I know is discussed in another threat.

They're only going to say something about a small injury if the press asks, which I don't think they have yet. If it was something serious, they might have said something already, so maybe that's good. I think the best we're going to get is "he's a little sore so we're being careful". They're not going to say "we're trading him". And I doubt they are trading him right now.

Hmmmm

Occam’s Razor says he’s injured and they’re not saying why for some reason.

Slightly less likely is the possibility that there are heated trade discussions going on, and he’s been pulled from meaningless games to save the possibility of injury.

A distant possibility is some kind of family issue, But that is unlikely because they would probably say so while stressing the need for privacy.

So.

Trade. To Cleveland.

You heard it here first, folks!

I hope he's working out at 3B on the back fields. Makes the team better if he can handle it defensively.

Actually, I think that’s a pretty far-fetched possibility, but it’s not illogical, I think that would be a pretty good solution to a lot of problemsActually, I think that’s a pretty far-fetched possibility, but it’s not illogical, I think that would be a pretty good solution to a lot of problems

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      That Jimmy Fallon movie was Fever Pitch.  Came out in late 2004 I think, because they had enough time to have the last scene being him and Drew Barrymore on the field in St. Louis celebrating the World Series win.  It actually was a really good movie at the time. But because the Red Sox and their fanbase became completely insufferable beginning with that comeback against the Yankees and carrying all the way through their 4 championships without so much as a loss in the World Series, it is hard for me to still enjoy it. But the underlying premise and that question of what has your favorite team ever done for you definitely resonated and certainly does even more so now with the Orioles.  And for Os fans the answer to that question is over the last 40 years, they haven't done much at all.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I have 13 game plan. Last year I was refunded. I hope I am this year.    The Ravens used to keep your money for playoff games not played and people complained. They stopped doing it. It’s pretty unethical in my opinion they keep the money towards next year. You can use that money for something else and make payments when they are due. Instead a business getting handouts from the state keeps your money.    The fact that you didn’t get playoff tickets due to this is alarming. They should wake up and be called out on this. It’s not acceptable.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I didn't watch the Astros or Os press conferences, mainly because I didn't want to look at or hear anything Elias or Hyde said. But I imagine that Houston fans are going to be far more accepting of how things ended than our fans are (or should be). The Astros fan has had a pretty charmed life (cheating stigma aside) since the last time we won a playoff game.

      According to park factors, OPaCy was friendlier overall to righties compared to lefties. This is the second time in three season that has been the case. But it’s way friendlier to lefties in terms of hitting homers.

      By ThomasTomasz · Posted

      As someone who attended 15 games this year in section 80, and watched numerous games on TV, I might have had the chance at 3 home runs.   RHB are trying to work the ball towards the bullpen versus dead pulls.   OPACY, due to the summer humidity, is still the homer dome in the summer time.  But this was supposed to be our benefit to stack the lineup with LHB, and it was also proved that a team could stack their playoff roster with LHP to neutralize it.   I think the dimensions are going to be the way they are for a while, and I think the pitchers are going to be fine with it overall.  There were far too many ‘cheap’ home runs from RHB on high pop ups, but also off the end of the bat from LHB.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      The Diamondbacks have 125 million in 10 players. Would they really want to have at $155-$165 million in 11 players of a $199 million payroll (their 2023 amount)?   https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/payroll/_/year/2025/sort/cap_total2
