Call him up, why not. Need to figure out if we should protect him against rule 5

Not sure that a smattering of innings in 3 weeks with the ML club is going to influence that decision. His body of work in the minors for 2021 should give them all they need.

It has been interesting to see how Sedlock has developed this year. After being unprotected for two R5 drafts, he may have changed the organization’s perspective on him. 

I wonder if the organizational focus on 4 seam with hop up in the zone now changed with the sticky stuff crackdown. If so, perhaps he now benefits from it.

It shouldn’t, and I don’t think it does.  

I'd like to think that, but when you add Mattson to the 40-man roster and leave off Pop, it's hard not to come to the conclusion that he likes his guys because of some metric tells him they have the best chance to succeed. 

As for Sedlock, his changeup has really become a plus pitch for him and he can throw it against righties and lefties. His breaking stuff still needs to improve, but he will be interesting decision come 40-man roster time. considering the flotsam and jetsam on the current 40-man roster, there should be ample space after the season.

Yeah, I'm much more interested in how Sedlock looks at the ML level than a guy like Hanhold. 

Sedlock is only 3 AAA starts removed from a 4.60 ERA in Bowie.   I'm more curious to see how he finishes the season at Norfolk.   Let Wells, Lowther, and Akin take their lumps and finish the season in the rotation.

    • Because it's an attempt to curb one team's fanbase from stuffing the ballot.
    • 1 vs 2 vote is stupid after #1 already got the most votes.  Why not 2 cs 3 for reserve?
    • Picking at 22 and 32 we have a chance to nab some guys with resumes. Benge, Brecht, Honeycutt, Amick, White, Culpepper, and one of the NCAA C if we want. Hopefully we can get two of those guys when we pick. Developing pitching and keeping it healthy is hard. With our recent history with bats it might be good to keep growing them. Benge and White/Amick would be ideal. They could be real close to Bowie this time next year. 
    • Hopefully, Santander is Tuck’s replacement. He is worthy, and his hard work should be rewarded if there is room.  Kimbrel would have been nice, but Clay Holmes, when rested and healthy, has much better stuff. I know the numbers are poor for him at the moment, but he is nasty. Kimbrel is a gutty vet who used to be incredibly tough. His selection this year would have been about his career and legacy. That is not a popular take on this board, so be it. Westburg and Mountcastle can use the time off. Both are supposed to be fairly banged up at the moment. O’Hearn is just another guy I would have loved to see make it. A grinder, who exemplifies the blue collar fan base of Baltimore. A great story, but mostly a platoon guy.
    • Outside of any of the "snubs" losing out of any potential bonuses, I don't care. I'd almost rather see them getting a solid break mid season anyways. 
    • I think there is a better term than "angry" to describe some of the O's. Anger seldom results in anything positive. Now, playing with attitude is another thing. GH is certainly the "King" of attitude on this team, no one is going to beat him. I believe there are several position players that show attitude in different ways. Pitchers?? SP throw 90 or so pitches. They can't afford to display emotions or they would be worn out much earlier. They also can't afford to have the "deer in the headlights" look. Of the O's starters, I believe CP is in that world at present. It's mainly an experience and growth thing.  GR, IMO, has approved significantly in that department over the last year. 
    • On close examination of Kjerstad today (July 7), I hope he is not part of any trade package. This kid is a bull, with power potential that is off the charts.  He runs surprisingly well and that throw to the plate from left was very impressive, if a bit high. I can see him planted in left field for a long time, perhaps in a platoon with Hays the rest of the year, but eventually full time if he proves able to hit southpaws.
