To me it’s just crazy to keep a 23 year old catcher in the minors. How many years are in those knees?  He’s going to be 24 next ST. 
 

All the more reason to keep him down.  You get the prime years and he is likely old enough when FA comes that it is clear you shouldn't keep him.  That's at least from a management perspective.

Mmmmmm, I'm pretty sure this completely wrong. Sisco had 1800ish PAs in the MiLs before his ML debut- and many hundred after it as well- and a full five years in the MiLs. Rutschman has 440

Witt, Jr. is 0-1 with a strikeout and Abrams is 0-2 with two strikeouts tonight. Clearly the Orioles made the right choice.

Unless of course this would have been one of his prime years...

But on the other hand............. and I know this is extremely productive and insightful.

Maybe.............. it wouldn't have been.

As always I hope you guys are getting a lot out of expressing your displeasure with what we all know is going to happen.

Hold on… so you’re telling me that part of his age 23/24 seasons will be more valuable than his age 30/31 seasons?  Crazy talk. 
 

This team is embarrassing. Elias does have a plan. It’s just a simulation/video game plan and not one for a professional organization.


You mean to tell me that the “MLB ready” #1 pick is going to take parts of FOUR years to reach the majors?

To put things into perspective… Chance Sisco is going to end up having spent less time in the minors(in terms of years)and he was a high school SS/C, that when drafted wasn’t even in the MLB top 200. AR meanwhile was the consensus #1 pick and NCAA MVP. 
 

That’s a joke.

Rutschman has 440 abs and will play the equivalent of one and a half years of MiL games before his debut next spring.

That’s why I said in terms of years and not ABs. When it’s all said and done Sisco will have spent less time in days/years than AR. That’s what I meant.

Well, yeah, but that is still also wrong.

Do you think AR was just sitting on the couch and not developing during the missed season last year?  I’m sorry, but for the NCAA MVP, Consensus #1 pick, who was viewed as just needing some pro ball tinkering, I don’t think that past year was a “lost” year. 

At the end of the day Sisco will have spent less time in years/months/days in the minors than AR. That’s just pure manipulation and what for?  I respect that Elias has a plan, but keeping a C down, under these specific circumstances, is just stupid.

You have this weird thing going on here in which you have folks talking up how Elias and company use technology and analytics but at the same time discount the value of the development time certain players had last season.

I apologize for the weird thing I do when somebody blatantly says falsehoods.  That whole objecting to them thing.  It's weird.  I know.

This is likewise false.  You keep repeating the same falsehood.

      Perfect time to make a roster move or two

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      If they sit Kjerstad for a few days for what could have warranted a  concussion protocol, it would make sense to bring up Mayo. I've said many times, I don't expect the kid to rake right away, but he could be a spark, could be a momentum changer. We don't know unless we make the move. It may not happen, but this could be the situation that makes sense.

      I'm often depicted as a whiner and worrier so I'd like to break my stereotypes on this page

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      I've been called the  whiner,  the "reverse jinx" guy, the guy who sees the "dark cloud" behind the silver lining....you name it.  But I would like to say this. Yes, this team is struggling and yes this is a significant series and we might not snap out of it right away. But remember. This team is too talented, too energetic, too destined to be denied over the long haul. We are going to bust out...and soon. It might take a while but when we do, look out. There will be new personnel, perhaps some new pitchers and bullpen pieces...maybe they wont make a splash, but it will be an upgrade. Its coming. This team will have a very fine second half of the season. Our youth is showing a little bit, but over the long haul...this team will NOT be stopped. Not over the course of a season. I want to see this team playing with a swagger and confidence I've seen before. It will happen. It will be a hit, then another hit. Then it will be contagious and it will be exciting to watch. A long time ago, the Beatles' John Lennon used to ask his bandmates, "Where are we going fellas"? And Paul, Ringo, and George would chime in... "We're going to the topper most of the popper most , Johnny" That's what I'd like to say . WERE GOING TO THE "TOPPERMOST OF THE POPPERMOST".  We're gonna be "Fab" again. I promise. And I can't wait to get there with them. Who's with me?

      How important is this Yankees series, really?

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      Probably needs another thread but I think hitting a batter in the head should come with a suspension. A bunch of sports like NFL and Hockey have done things to protect players. I would feel the same way if Kimbrel hit a Yankee in the head too. There’s probably some data out there on the average time a concussed player misses time and base the first time suspension off. Then each one after that gets more severe. There is a way to throw inside and anything above the shoulders should be off limits.

      Unconventional Thinking: A Quick Sell Off

      By ledzepp8 · Posted

      Oh my god! The slide? The Orioles have three more wins this year than they did at this date last season. If you want to get technical, their record thru 94 game is identical to last season. Calm down.

      Game Start Time and Attendance

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I get what you are saying but I still admit I surprised they have the early starts when school is out. I’m fine with them myself but you would think an additional half hour could convince someone to make the trek.     At the game tonight the empty seats filled in by about 730. I always thought years ago 730 starts made sense on Friday’s but I gave up on that idea.

      By eddie83 · Posted

      Goes without saying a split rest of way keeps Orioles up one game at break and also means they would be up 6-4 in season standings. Win both you clinch season series. Play at NYY 3 games with 6 games to go. Just avoid a damn sweep. I think the series is more important from a tiebreaker standpoint than necessarily being up or down a game.    Hopefully some frustration was released in the 9th inning. One big hit and maybe this team relaxes some.

      By eddie83 · Posted

      Brought this up in game thread. Send Povich down for an arm. Technically don’t need a 5th SP until SD series but based off how the Orioles like give guys an extra day they can start Irvin vs MIA.  Play a DH at home Mon July 30. Can call him back up then. Play 11 games before that DH. One start by Irvin vs MIA is worth an extra arm.    I know he needs to be added to the 40 but Mayo could come up for Kjerstad. Concussion IL is 7 days. You have 4 days off at the break. If not Mayo then obviously Stowers, it makes no sense to take any chances for losing Heston 3 games at most.
