I'd like to think that a light can go on for someone who has some degree of talent and keeps trying and working at it day after day in spite of what seems like constant failure.  We shall see.   

Yeah but no one really ever thought Grenier had much talent with the bat, no? Is there any light to go on?

I didn't want to make a new thread for this, but I noticed Grenier wasn't on the bench in Norfolk's game last night. He played SS in Norfolk's game on Saturday and went 3-3 with 2BBs and a great play

If you really want to invent a reason for his brief hot spurt you can make a case that the Ortiz promotion is it. Guy came up and has already made plays I haven't seen Grenier make in any game and I'v

Now that Adley has settled in he can focus on improving his teammates' performance ?

What has he changed?  Mechanical tweaks?  His approach?  Better pitch recognition?  If he's doing the same things he's always done, it's just a lucky streak.  If he's made some kind of significant change that he can repeat, it could be real.  But, since I've never seen him play a single game in college or the pros, I'll defer to Tony or others that have had a chance to see what he was doing before and what he's doing now.  Having said that, four games.  Can you say short sample size?  Never get too high or low based on such a small sample.  Adley went 0-4 and his average dropped 15 points last night.  Is he now a bum just because of a one game sample?

I've noticed his production the past four days or so. The video is tough to see if he has made real adjustments, but I would hope that he has. It is reasonable to think he made some adjustments in minor league spring training that are just now taking hold in his game. It sure would be a welcome development if it is a sign of things to come. 

And as far as the competition, or feeling the heat of Ortiz coming up, could be. It is possible that it made him feel a sense of urgency. Depends on the guy, really. Maybe his pal, Rutschman, noticed something in his swing. Whatever it is, I just hope it is sustainable. I am curious what Buck Britton would say about this.

Well, he was a supplemental 1st round pick, so obviously somebody thought he had the potential to hit well enough to be a major leaguer.

McCoy, Bannon, Martin, Urias, Grenier.

McCoy and Bannon seem to have position flexibility.  Urias also.  Martin cannot stay healthy but is intriguing.  Grenier, until very recently, cannot hit.  
Just my opinion but take it with a grain of salt since I have not seen any of them play except for Martin when he was up with the O’s.

Grenier's minor league OPS is 21 points higher than Martin's. Just sayin'.

Thanks for your opinion. I haven’t gotten a chance to see them if they haven’t been up with the big club. The hard part is that I don’t see us protecting all 5 guys over the offseason. Eventually Galvis will be traded, and Franco will be DFA’d. At that point these guys should get some looks at the MLB level. The O’s have a lot of time invested into Martin, but the guy just can’t stay healthy.

      I'm not disregarding his past performance, but in general recent performance is more relevant if it's a decent sample size.  140 PAs is a pretty high number.  It's been pretty clear for awhile now that what he was once good at he's not good at right now.  I'd rather see Kjerstad bat against lefties than Slater at this point.

      Os vs NL

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Today was, thankfully, the last games vs the NL this year…barring a WS run of course. The Os finish 19-26 (that’s a sub 70 win% seasons) vs the NL and were outscored by 42 runs.     That means vs the AL he has outscored them by about 115 runs and are 24 games over 500.

      It’s the quietest 879 in the history of baseball.

      I disagree Mayo is one of the reasons the Orioles have not hit well.  Emmanuel Rivera, who has hit well with an .879 OPS since he joined the O's, has gotten the playing time over Mayo.

      I was sort taking that as a fait accompli. Signing expensive long-term free agent deals for one dimensional sluggers heading into their 30s definitely does not seem like Elias's style, especially when an extra high draft pick (and accompanying extra bonus pool money) is the reward for not doing so.

      The Defense Thread, 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Game 153, Sept. 19 Lots of notable defensive plays today.   Kjerstad made two excellent catches, one going back and towards the RCF alley that (per Kevin Brown) was a 50% probability catch, and another going back to the wall near the corner and making the catch at close to full speed.   Holliday snared a line drive at the top of his leap, and also made a nice backhand running catch of a soft fly into medium RF. Mullins made a diving catch in the 7th on a sinking liner that he got a great jump on.   In the 9th, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Heliot hit a liner in the RCF gap that carried much further than it first appeared it would.   Mullins and Slater dove for it simultaneously and Slater actually gloved it for a second before it popped out while Slater landed on Mullins.  Luckily, the two base runners totally misread the play, and after Slater quickly scrambled to his feet and threw the ball in, the runner originally on 2B scored but the runner on 1st only advanced to 2B, and the batter had to stop at first.  The O’s were able to keep any further runs from scoring. One thing I’ve noticed about Manny Rivera is that he’s very slow charging bunts and slow rollers/choppers. He handled one bunt and one chopper in front of him today and both times the runner beat his throw rather easily, something that has happened a lot when Rivera has manned 3B.   I’m more than ready to have Urias -and/or Westburg back at the hot corner.

      Don’t know what happened to him on here but I did meet him and some others from The Sun forums at the park on Matt Wieters first game as an Oriole. If I recall correctly his name was Patrick.  He seemed like a good dude but he did have his face painted and was wearing those big hulk hands…which did strike me as a little odd for a grown man but to each his own.
