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.

      Fire Tony Mansilino

      By Frobby · Posted

      Seems like a good thread to consider whether Mansolino has done a good job generally.   The O’s have been thrown out at home only 11 times, tied for 6th fewest in MLB (13.3 is average).   They have scored from 1st on a double 41.5% of the time, vs. league average of 38.2% of the time. They have scored from 2B on a single 62.9% of the time, vs. league average 61.8% of the time.   The O’s have been thrown out at 3B 6 times, tied for 3rd fewest in MLB. They have gone 1st to 3rd on a single 36.2% of the time, vs. league average 31.9%.   So, the overall profile is that the O’s take an extra base to get to 3B or score on a single or a double at a greater rate than the average team, yet they are thrown out trying to do those things less than the average team. Not all the credit or the blame for these things falls on the 3B coach.   And, there are some plays involving the 3B coach that I can’t capture, like scoring from 3B on a fly out or a ground ball.   However, based on what we can capture, I think you’d have to say that Mansolino has done a pretty good job, despite individual decisions that may have been wrong.

      AL playoff picture

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Looks like AL East and AL West have same deal with 7 to play - 5 game leads and the chaser has three at the first place team. Royals now having lost 6 in a row - the 5/6/7 is fuzzy. Tuesday night will only be some fun if the O's pick up a game today - 1 back with a sweep going to the final weekend an opportunity, 2 back with a sweep going to the final weekend a mirage.     The Orioles have played the showdown generally into Grapefruit League mode, but at least yesterday was not a playoff game. NYY in great shape for 1 seed, won regular season series 4-2 over CLE, so effectively 3 up in the loss column.    CLE one of the few clubs with two off days in the final week, and a likely bye to rest that hard worked cadre of relievers.    That said, the Astros do play the Guardians the final weekend, and could be within striking distance of that valuable seeding into the ALDS round.

      Anything hit in the outfield no matter how deep you automatically tag up. That is learned in little league. This is not hard. I had a play exactly like this in town ball. You go back to the bag and then watch. As soon as the shortstop went down off you go and the game is over. Why that third base coach was pointing DOWN the line is a cardinal sin. Don't fire the guy but give him a solid scolding.

      So then I don't think he gets optioned. I think they save him for the postseason roster. I see Johnson and Jimenez going for Westburg and Urias. Mountcastle may not be back till the playoffs.
