Nunez was cut by the Tigers.

Núñez appeared in 11 games before last night and went 5-for-26 (.192) with two doubles, one home run, no walks and 10 strikeouts.

It’s too bad, seems like a good guy. Got maligned for his poor defense again.

The fact that Nunez is waiver wire fodder just goes to show how far the value of the home run hitter has decreased because the fact that almost everyone hits them now. Basically you have to bring anot

I predict at least 3 OH members will lobby for us to re-sign him. And.......go! Fwiw i think this ship has sailed.

He’s the Os home run leader. He needs to be resigned and hit 4th! Just like Akin deserves the number 3 spot in the rotation!

A lot of people wanted to keep Nunez. 
I am glad we did not.

Defense isn’t important for DH.  
 

Part of the reason some of us wanted Nunez kept was because of injuries...Stewart already showing that to be true.

I wanted him to go because we don’t need a dedicated designated hitter. A dedicated DH clogs the roster with a limited player, eliminates roster versatility, eliminates the opportunity for players to get a little bit of rest from being in the field, and Stewart Doesn’t turn my crank either. As I’ve said many many times, I want Mountcastle and Mancini trading off at first/designated hitter, and three genuine outfielders in the outfield. I did not see any reason to keep Nunez, especially at the price that was being discussed.

A lot of this is false but it’s fine if that’s not what you want.

I'd have zero issues with him being signed and sent to AAA to play 1B and DH. I'd rather have him as a fall back option at first base or DH (though I believe the Orioles will rotate Santander, Mountacstle and Stewart there now) than Tyler Nevin or Rio Ruiz.

I’m right. We didn’t need him and I was right. He duplicates what we already have, he clogs the roster, and nobody wants him, not even the Tigers, so I was right when I said he had no trade value.

I do believe it was erroneous to believe he had/has trade value. Getting cut by Detroit does clear that up.

 

But, I'd be just fine getting him back.  Davis is already off the roster and I don't want to rain on anything, but while we all root for Mancini, there are no guarantees he is fully back.  After being cut by Detroit, maybe he signs for AAA deal.

Remember, a big reason I wanted him back is because I didn’t trust the health of some of the other players around him.

Santander and Stewart were 2 of those guys and they are already hurt.  If they are both out on OD, that probably keeps Ruiz on the team and Franco is your DH.

Geez.  That is really going to hurt their playoff chances.

      Weird, it's amazing how easy NFL kickers can kick 50+ yard FGs just when Tucker no longer can effectively.

      Os vs KC in WC round

      Agree with that, but last I checked so do we. Also Detroit has been doing their late season run with guys named other than Skubal. That said lets go.

      Hamilton needs to really improve on coverage of TEs.

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By e16bball · Posted

      Some quick recaps of the matchups against KC, as they happened so long ago that they’re genuinely tough to remember. Game 1 (@BAL): Orioles win 6-4.  Dean Kremer vs. Michael (Wacha) Wacha. Kremer escapes a brutal 1st inning with two errors (Urias; Henderson). After that, the pitchers mostly cruise until T3, when Kremer gives up a bomb to Witt, followed by a walk and a Perez bomb for a 3-0 KC lead. The O’s bats storm back, matching those 3 runs in B4, with Rutschman double and a Mountcastle HR providing the highlights. Not much action until T8, when Cano gets into and works out of a huge jam (2nd and 3rd, none out) to preserve the tie. In B8, three singles culminate in a Mountcastle RBI to take the lead. Kimbrel promptly blows said lead in T9, giving up a single to Isbel and two mostly uncontested SBs to PR Blanco, who trots home on a sac fly. In B9, Mullins singles with one out against RP Nick Anderson and Westburg sends the fans home happy with an opposite field walk-off blast.  Game 2 (@BAL): Royals win 4-1 Cole Irvin vs. Alec Marsh. Much less intrigue in this one. Irvin didn’t have it, giving up four, that could have been more. Garcia did most of the damage, with a double and triple that brought home 3 runs. Marsh mostly stymied the O’s bats, with Cowser’s double in B3 providing the only run. Smith closed it out for KC. Game 3 (@ BAL): Orioles win 4-3 Corbin Burnes vs. Cole Ragans. This one looked like it was headed the way of the visitors, as Ragans dominated through 6.1 innings of one-hit ball. The Royals had a load of traffic against Burnes, with 9 hits and a couple walks. The O’s did well to minimize the damage. Perez provided two RBI singles against Burnes, but his ponderous baserunning also kept him from scoring both times. KC added a 3rd run against Baumann in T7, on a homer by Garcia. Once Ragans finally exited, the O’s came alive, with RP James McArthur yielding two runs in B8. Cowser singled and was followed by a double from McCann. They each came home, on a Firestone by Henderson and a clutch 2-out single by Rutschman, to bring the score to 3-2. Smith again came on to close it out for KC, and he was greeted rudely. The bases were loaded for Cowser, who struck out. He was followed by McCann, however, who delivered the walk-off two-run single. Great rejoicing. Game 4 (@ KC): Royals win 9-4 Dean Kremer vs. Alec Marsh. Both guys largely matched what they’d done a couple weeks earlier. Kremer pitched into the 6th, with the only blemish until that point being a B4 solo shot by Pasquantino. Marsh pitched out of a couple jams, first picking off Henderson at 3B to snuff out a T1 2nd/3rd threat, then getting a popup from Mullins and a groundout from Cowser to escape a T4 bases loaded conundrum. B6 was a nightmare for the O’s, with Kremer getting two outs but also issuing two BBs. Akin was called on, and promptly set the whole thing ablaze, giving up RBI hits to Melendez, Massey, and Renfroe to make it 6-0. In T7, Rutschman answered with a grand slam off of possible double agent Smith to draw closer. But in B7, Melendez hit a 3-run bomb off of Tate to provide the final margin. Game 5 (@ KC): Orioles win 9-7 Corbin Burnes vs. Cole Ragans. As expected, a pitcher’s duel. Ragans came out hot, striking out the side in T1. His luck turned, though, in T2. The Orioles BABIP’d him to death, recording 8 hits in the frame. A two-run single by Westburg made it 7-0 and sent Ragans to the showers. Burnes was solid, though unspectacular, until yielding a B6 Weaver to Perez that ended his night. After the O’s manufactured a run in T7, an uncharacteristically wild outing from Coulombe was followed by a characteristically wild outing from Yohan Ramirez, with yet another big hit from Perez providing 2 RBIs to close to 8-7. Kauffman was in a frenzy. In T8, though, Mountcastle and Santander slammed back-to-back doubles off RP John Schreiber to make it 9-7. Akin and Baumann survived the bottom of the order in B8, and Kimbrel closed it out in orderly fashion in T9. Game 6 (@ KC): Orioles win 5-0  Cole Irvin vs. Seth Lugo. A mismatch on paper, and indeed it proved to be. Irvin survived B1 turmoil and then absolutely locked things down. Lugo was ambushed with back-to-back blasts from Westburg and Cowser to start T3, and then pitched his way into trouble in T6. A triple (?) by Santander was followed by a Mountcastle RBI double. Eventually RP Angel Zerpa walked in another run, but he did dodge further damage by striking out both Holliday and Henderson with the bases still loaded. Urias provided the final blow with a T9 single that drove home Henderson, and the Orioles bullpen locked down the shutout.
