He must be your nephew or some thing, he’s terrible, he has given no sign that he will ever not be terrible. I am quite happy to keep him around, but I am also quite happy to send him on his way.

It’s all about being dumb or smart..releasing him when you don’t have to is dumb.

Your inability to see that is astounding to me.

Take a step back -- maybe wait until tomorrow -- and think about how bizarre it is that reports of Austin Wynn's possible promotion are creating so much excitement. That's how bad things are. Rea

Well, the Orioles certainly need some Wynns about now.  Go Orioles.

Wynns is a solid average defensive catcher in most areas including framing, which is an upgrade over Severino and Sisco. He's not going to hit much and overall, he's a stopgap backup catcher at the major league level. 

Saying that, I'm glad he's up here because Sisco has to figure some things out at the plate and between catcher, DH and 1B, he should get a lot of PAs in AAA to see if he can figure it out.

Do you see them putting Sisco at 1st at any point, even in Norfolk? He’s only played 1 inning, ever, there.

Time to let Wynns start.   Severino is terrible behind the plate.   Another PB allowing a run to score.   He's just too bad behind the plate to keep starting him.   Wynns is not the long term answer,  and maybe not even a good short term answer, but I'd be happy to never see Severino behind the plate again,  ever.

Hyde seems to favor Severino.  Must be the big (614 OPS) bat.

Your best option to get rid of Severino is for him to continue to start and get hot with the bat up til the trade deadline. Then he will no longer be our problem and you will see more of Wynns.

I don't see anyone trading for Severino.

You might get someone to claim him off waivers.

It's a stretch but I think that's the main reason for him playing right now. He did put up 1.1 WAR in 2019 and 0.9 WAR in a short 2020. It's not inconceivable someone could be interested in a PBTNL type deal.

I think Hyde prefers him and Elias doesn't feel a need to override the choice.

2!

That first hit he got in the blowout game was huge.  That hit really opened the floodgates for the scoring.  That game could have gone a lot differently had Wynns not got that hit.  Good for him to finally find a way to get a hit.

I was happy he got it.

I was happier that he somehow helped guide Lopez to only 3 runs despite having a lot of trouble finding the plate.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      Mike Elias has irritated Adley Rutschman in all 3 of his MLB seasons trying to extract "more retained value" for his boss's bottom line, and wonders why Adley isn't excited to sign away club options on his entire career.    Gunnar Henderson too. It might be a nice gesture to work Basallo in a little earlier next year because adjusting to MLB competition is very hard. James McCann is pretty cool, and I hope he can find more opportunity to further his career next season than playing backup for the league's best starter. EBJ isn't as promising as Basallo, but he is good enough to have a fair chance for 2026 Rookie of the Year in the final season of this CBA, especially with the counting stats boost the 2026 Orioles lineup will give. After that who knows what the rules will be, but definitely top athletes will love geeks figuring stuff out to determine how their careers should progress.

      Yes, he was unavailable for last night's game because of neck discomfort.

      I am pretty sure we are in with a win and Mariners loss.  I have seen 2 Mariners losses because if we have to go up against Astros in head to head, if Mariners win division but that doesn’t make sense since a loss gives them 76 which we can’t get too.   The # 1 WC depends on if the West is won by the Mariners or Astros but it most likely is 3 if one of the wins is vs the Tigers or Twins.

      Now that Roy is hopeful, there is no hope. The curse is in.

      Right. 1. Rivera consistently plays over Mayo.  Whether justified or not, he’s clearly higher in the pecking order right now. You don’t cut the second-string player to keep the third-string player.  (Obviously Mayo will be the better long term player and has the better pedigree but we’re talking specifically about the next two weeks). 2. Mayo has an option and Rivera doesn’t. Rivera provides depth going into next year, provides some flexibility to trade Urias if the right offer presents itself, and does several things well as a role player (even if perceived by fans with stigma of waiver wire scrub).

      I agree. Nothing to lose by trying to claim him.
