From Roch, you can decide:

The Orioles brought Wade back into the organization with a minor league deal in January. Former executive Dan Duquette acquired him from the Rockies in November 2017 for $500,000 in international bonus slot money and released him four months later before he could break camp.

In between his two Orioles contracts was a summer spent with the independent Sugar Land Skeeters in 2018, winter ball in Mexico, a minor league deal with the Red Sox in 2019 and a return to Sugar Land.

Well that doesn’t fill me with a great deal of Hope and joy, but at least we get to see another marginal guy live his dream for a day or two. I hope it happens many times over the rest of the season, and maybe some of them will earn something beyond a day or two.

I hope this is the start of much more of the same. I’ve seen enough Plutko and Lakins at least, would love to see someone else in their place. If Wells is terrible, we’ll we find out now instead of waiting and hoping. If he’s bad well at least we know, and we can call up the best guy.

is Konner Wade a real prospect or just a warm body?

I think we better get used to seeing Lakins.  After going 4  good innings he may join the rotation for his next outing.

Maybe I’m reading too much into these comments from Hyde but he doesn’t seem happy with Kremer.  Wonder if there has been some attitude, “you owe me” type of attitude going on?

Based on that article, I don't see anything to suggest it's more than him being unhappy with Kremer's results

Good for Sisco.

He's on a playoff contender.

I also suggested earlier that the other night might be a one and done for Jannis so ha! to those that proclaimed he would hang around to eat innings.

Also another good counterpoint to those who have claimed that he’s a terrible bust who would never have played on another team

Hyde is old school and thinks Kremer should get a haircut.

Wade will be the last guy out of the pen who only comes up in lost cause situations.

That role was filled at various times by Sceroler, Jannis, Tyler Wells, and Lakins.

That’s a heavily used position with this team.

Urias not in lineup tonight fir Norfolk, so I guess that means he will be in Buffalo Sunday.  I wish they would end this Urias, Valika, Ruiz, Wilkerson shuffle and let someone else like Lebya, Jones a look.  Lebya has played plenty at AAA and no need to keep him there.  He can play SS though not his main position.  Valika is not a good option at short.  If you think you need Urias to play short bring Lebya with him and let Wilkerson or Valika go.

    • I'm kind of rooting for not McCann, nothing about the individual player but I think the Sarasota backup catcher's prominence is the main leading indicator we'll get this winter of the 2025 Samuel Basallo strategy. I hope after living through 2 Octobers of Grayson Rodriguez and Jordan Westburg and Heston Kjerstad and Jackson Holliday and Coby Mayo arguably being under seasoned for their first pennant races that Basallo can have the Adley timeline instead of the 44 active roster days. In 2026 EBJ can put up a very gaudy SB number coming off his 44 active roster days that should play well for that year's RoY competition key to sustaining a large supply of Griff O'Ferrall's for the pipeline.
    • In the next 8 games and in the playoff who do you trust more at SS?  Holliday or Liv Soto?
    • Wells now at 1-for-18 and 6-for-40 last 7 and last 14 days - the rookie wall comes for many.    Next week I think still means something for the competition. It is kind of a big deal tactically if Wells, still mostly hitting cleanup, is in a bad patch or tuckered out, and opponents can tread very carefully around the big guys. I mean, Juan Soto's OBP isn't even .500, so you get him out a little over half the time, walk the other one, and then your pitchers and defense are playing against the other 7/9ths of the lineup. Would I walk Aaron Judge 2 outs, nobody on, in the 1st inning with Austin Wells on deck?    That would really give the voting sportswriters some narratives to zoom in on.     Maybe I don't want to reveal if that is my strategy this month though.
    • I would bring McCann back on a one year deal
    • It is powerfully convenient to say Ryan, but in the next couple few weeks we'll get our last view of O'Hearn v. Mountcastle, which the Cowser-like PA portion necessary for Coby Mayo's RoY candidacy needs solved. Mountcastle's right handedness and willing to put on a Powerpuff suit I think gives him the edge heading down the final stretch.    I believe Mountcastle is probably also a better 1B partner for Mayo as they have some kind of Lee May-Eddie Murray job share early next season. The 2025 lineup transitions are I think limited to Basallo for the backup catcher (and then he'll squeeze the 1B/DH duo), and if Mullins can sustain himself as a superior option to Fabian/EBJ for another October. This time next year I'm hopeful the injury gods are kind and Adley, Basallo, Mountcastle, Holliday, Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser, Mullins, EBJ, Kjerstad and Basallo are 11 individuals monopolizing all of the Orioles plate appearances at least four more Octobers.    I believe Mountcastle is nearer to the "Elias Generation" group of players heart, so he'll get an edge on Hays and O'Hearn when push really comes to shove as the #RisingTide starts to crest. Will O'Hearn's option give value to rate another Gregory Soto type decent reliever in trade?
