Mountcastle.

I know we are excited about the minor leaguers and what’s to come. But  if you had to choose one player that is currently on the OD roster, who are you most looking forward to watching and seeing

Austin Hays, without a doubt, is the most exciting player on the roster when healthy. He has been my favorite Oriole valor a few years.

Mountcastle is the most promising young player, and Hays is a big wild card, so I will not want to miss their at-bats.  I have to say that I'm also intrigued by Ramon Urias.  He developed in the Mexican leagues for the most part, rather than the MLB minor league system, so we know a lot less about him than we do most MLB rookies.

It was Hunter Harvey unfortunately. Such is life as an Orioles fan. I’ll go Kremer instead. I’m confident that the position player talent we have in the org now can be part of playoff teams. I’m not so confident in the pitching. Kremer or Akin reaching their ceilings would be big.

Why harp on Sisco instead of Severino?

At least Sisco shares our pain with every HBP he takes for the team.

They both are equally awful. But a lot of people have been open about Severino while a lot say “oh, give Sisco a shot and see what he can do.” That’s the harp.

Also, he doesn’t share my pain.

I want to see if Sisco continues to struggle and people continue to say “give him time!”

I want to see if Sisco continues to put up a .360+ OBP, whether people will continue to say he is struggling with the bat.

He is the less frustrating defensively to me of the two catchers currently on the roster. It is starting to look like Sisco may not have the glove to stick at catcher, but Severino has has shown that he has neither the glove nor the bat.

I think it is most likely that if given the chance, Sisco will prove he doesn't have the glove to stick at catcher, but I want him to be given every chance this year so we know if we need a different backup behind Adley.

This is a great question... first, I'm excited to have a 162 game season to look forward to.  But that wasn't your question.  

I agree with Trey Mancini for the reasons you stated.

2nd is finally seeing what Austin Hays can do given a full season.

3rd is Bruce Zimmerman.  He seems like he could be the real deal.  It would be nice to have another solid young pitcher (along with Jason Means) to anchor the rotation.

Are you suggesting Cumberland is better behind the plate?

If you squint with one eye and close the other, then yes.

But truthfully, no, I don’t think Cumberland is. But if Sisco can get a shot, then so can Cumberland, who was also a highly touted prospect. I’d rather see him than Sisco.

Pretty cool that he is a local product too. I believe he is the first HCYP Raider to make the Majors.

Severino strikes me as lazy (my opinion don't @me).  That to me is a greater crime than a lack of talent.

      If we were to DH Kjerstad instead of O'Hearn it would be an entire starting 10 who had only played for the Orioles in their MLB career.   Wonder when the last time we ever had such a lineup (if ever).

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.
