I'm not sure I get what's going on here. He should be well over the myocarditis - recovery is usually weeks or a few months at most. Surely he could report and get acclimated with the coaches and players even if he's not working out? Maybe it's a more serious case? Either way, it's definitely concerning right now. For his health first and foremost but then, assuming he's ok, for his development.

Elias just said that Heston is working out again and is nearing baseball activities.

Everyone on the alternate site roster is slated for AAA. Am I missing something in regards to Kjerstad?

Back on 10 March, Elias told reporters Kjersatd would report to the alternate site when it opened and now he's not on the roster.  Perhaps they changed plans and sent him to Sarasota since he's not going to start the year in AAA? Actually makes more sense to send him to Sarasota where it's warmer and he'll be around the guys he'll play with this year.

Ah, that would make a lot of sense, yeah. Safe to assume that's what's going on for now.

I've got a crazy tin foil hat theory ready to go but I'm not ready to release it.

Preach on man.  Orioles about to get shut out for a second night in a row, there's not much else fun to talk about right now.

I'd be curious to see the success rate of any draft pick that goes a year without playing in the minors.  Now Covid certainly threw a wrench into things but the fact that Kjerstad wasn't in the alternate site last year wasn't good.  And I'm on the record as saying the alternate site wasn't the equivalent to real games but at least it was SOMETHING.  

No ST and we don't know if he's reporting anywhere soon.  It's not looking good.

Tinfoil theory:  

Heston Kjerstad doesn't actually exist and the Orioles drafted him based on videos that were all deep fakes. 

I like it, but who did they get to sign the contract?

 

Oh wait, Covid, they probably signed the contract over Zoom.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By waroriole · Posted

      I can see them pursuing him and I wouldn’t be against it. But anyone who thinks he’s signing for 4/120, or that there’s a big FA SP class, needs a better editor.

      Roch is an idiot. Criticizing the fanbase at a time like now is ridiculous. 1 run in 2 games? Cmon man.    Also, nobody asks for that stupid emcee to get the crowd excited, that’s strictly for tv purposes.

      I was there and there was nothing to get remotely excited about except for 5 minutes in the 5th inning. Stupid swings at the plate, lack of hitting in RISP. Cleveland scored more run before they recorded an out today than we did in 2 full games at home. Let that sink in. Our team is full of chokers that don’t handle pressure well or rise to the occasion.

      This really only works if you're looking at 2 years of data.  Look at 4 years of data and suddenly Burnes looks like a vastly better bet.  Burnes has had an era under 3 for 3 out of the last 4 seasons plus the covid year.  Musgrove only 1 prior to signing the deal.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Orioles West · Posted

      I survived the decade plus losing years, I’m fairly hard to disappoint at this age. That said, I think they can change some things up in spring training - small ball stuff isn’t hard to add to the arsenal. I think they O’s may add a FA or two or resign one or two of our own guys in the winter. I don’t think we will ever throw money around like the Yanks or Dodgers, but I do believe ownership will invest more than the previous crew. All I was saying is I hope Elias starts to tackle some of the changes he talked about to push the rebuild to the next level. I do agree I’ll not be able to evaluate any potential changes until this time next year.

      https://www.masnsports.com/orioles-rss/some-wild-card-leftovers-and-lingering-thoughts-as-playoffs-proceed-without-orioles Roch pointing out the lack of attendance in the playoff games and lower energy level from the fans that were there. Maybe the fans just matched the team’s energy level the last 3 months? They were lifeless and witnessed what happened in the WC all too often from July-September. They went 1-13 with RISP, had 2 real XBH’s, and 1 run in 18 innings. The Guardians scored 2 runs 4 batters into their series. The team gave the fans little to cheer for from July on - the attendance and energy level just reflected that and the general discontent that this year’s team brought, even though there’s no shame in a 91 win season.
