There wouldn’t be much justification. But he won’t have that slash line. 

Probably not.   But it won’t shock me if his AAA line is better than his AA line.   Four games down, 38 to go, so we’ll see about that.

So when he ends the AAA season with .400/.500/.650 line, what’s the the justification for starting him in AAA next season?

Yea I was thinking the same thing.

So far, he has only caught at AAA.  Will be interesting to see if that keeps up.  He played a lot of first and DH in Bowie.  
 

My guess is that their justification will be that they want him to catch more innings in the minors.

If they go all this year and don’t bring him up and then start him in Baltimore from day 1, that will have been a colossally stupid decision.  If you are going to game the clock, you had better do it fully. 

How the new CBa is written could change this of course.

You are advocating preventing Super 2 status?

I guess..super 2 doesn’t change your status in terms of how many years you are with the club.  That’s all I care about.

If you are going to exploit your workforce you should do it properly.  With an All Star caliber player you can avoid paying them millions by denying them that fourth year of arbitration.

    • Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations. 
    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
    • wow,did gunnar and adley have to do this last season? 
    • I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in.
