I am not so much disappointed in Sisco going but in who is staying. How does Severino still have a MLB job right now? Cut him; the money is a sunk cost anyway. Give Wynns the starts or whoever is the best defensive catcher for now. Bringing up Eshelman to start is also just a punch in the gut. The O's fans need something now, this season. By the time 2023 comes around, if this is the MLB product you keep putting out there, you will have lost alot of the fan base.  

Classic Angelos logic.

I can't be the only one that thinks Elias isn't being allowed to cut him.

Arbitration eligible? What's he going to make 600K? Come on now, him being Arb 1 Eligable in the offseason isn't a reason to DFA him in June.

Well, this disappoints my daughter.  In happier days, ie. 2017.

Put it this way: Sisco was the 61st pick in the draft.   Of the 56 players picked in that spot, only six have had more at bats in the majors than Sisco.   One of those was Josh Bell, who for some reas

I’ll continue to say it but I just don’t get the roster decisions this year.

Some real head scratchers. If he didn’t feel Bradish was ready I could respect that. Lowther is starting for Norfolk tonight and is on the 40. That would make sense. Why add Eshelman to the 40 when he’s been really pretty bad in AAA? My guess is that with Smith up to AAA and Rodriguez/Hall not far behind, Eshelman is going to get squeezed in Norfolk anyhow, so why not get a look at him? I’m grasping....I can’t figure it out. The only thing this adds up to is a deliberate attempt to keep the valued resources on the farm and lock down a top pick in 2022.

Eshelman is terrible.  There is no need to get a look at him.

It just makes no sense to me.  And all of these Norfolk catcher moves and Adley isn’t moving up?  Wtf?  
 

Thry say one thing but the roster moves indicate something else.

What a buzzkill. Is there really now one else? Eshelman has a 6.41 ERA at Norfolk and 1.42 WHIP.

Eshelman is brutal. The last game I saw last year before Covid was Eshelman getting crushed by the Blue Jays. Try to look away tonight. It’s gonna be ugly

I think he's prioritizing not starting any service clocks that he possibly avoid.

Last chance for Eshelman to build up some trade value before the deadline? That's about all I can think of.

I know this is a sword you are going to die on and you enjoy mentioning every post you can but some of these guys, service time isn’t the issue.

Who’s service clock is he avoiding? I think it’s just trying to preserve some confidence for Lowther since he’s been hit so hard at the ML level.

I know he doesn’t care what I(or anyone else it seems) thinks but it’s literally every post at this point. 
 

Yes, I’m aware ignore is an option.

Sure, for Rutschman/Hall/Rodriguez. Maybe Bradish (though I disagree in his situation) But Jones? And Eshelman added to the 40 over Lowther who starts tonight in AAA and is obviously already on the 40. And like SG said, all these catcher moves while Rutschman stays in AA? Only defense for that is keeping him paired with Rodriguez/Hall, and kicking the can so it doesn’t look so obvious later on that he’s working the service clock on AR.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Pickles · Posted

      I'm lost for words about why Rutschman struggled, other than as I've long said he's a catcher and you're not going to get a MOO monster bat playing 110 games behind the plate- but the overall outcome of the team was within what I thought was reasonable, if a bit on the low end. Regarding the depth, Holliday and Mayo are more talented than Urias, but if we had gotten rid of Urias, Mateo, and Mountcastle to hand them spots, this team would have been worse for it, and maybe not even make the playoffs. Urias is good.  Mountcastle is good.  They're not "everyday" players according to your definition, but we have exactly one of those guys.  That doesn't mean every one else is " not good." I wouldn't be surprised to see all three back next year.  I wouldn't be surprised if they moved on from 2-3 of them.  Though I think the former is far wiser than the latter, though it depends on a lot of other things.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      My post is coming off the wrong way.  The OP I quoted seemed like you were “lost for words” about why the team struggled the way they did. All I’m saying is I think you are like that because you didn’t see the scenarios where this much of a drop off from last year was going to happen. And btw, the depth (to me at least) wasn’t a good thing.  Depth is good when the players are good. If not, they are just guys blocking better talent.

      But we have no idea who told her or of the info is good. She has given no reason to believe her. Im sure someone told her something but im not sure she smart enough to be able to tell the difference between good info and bad info.

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      By Pickles · Posted

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.
