People are always picking on Pedro Severino, but…

Severino is getting non-tendered this offseason and it should be the last we ever see of him as an Oriole. 

I know that it is going to happen in November or December, but I would love for it to happen in July or August, or May, for that matter.

Yes, Means has been great, and the rest pretty much zero.

Pedro brings more (not much at all but more...) on offense. He might get a hit , drive in a run to make the difference in a close game.

 

 

He needs a damn glove that's BROKEN IN tho! SOMETHING! I can't remember a catcher dropping so many balls that hit him right in the pocket!

But that catch of the extremely high foul pop on Soto the other day/night? with Franco standing there watching was amazing - and he tossed the ball to Franco and smiled his way off the field.  Amazing!!!

If we're talking about the same play, it epitomizes the Orioles lack of basic fundamentals. The infielder should have called him off that ball 100% of the time.

Agree on that, but I think budgetary considerations are stopping that from happening. Severino is still going to collect his salary and the Orioles would have to pay another catcher at least the rookie minimum pro-rated.

For sure, that is what I was thinking, but they play he made looking up into the night, finding the ball running to it and actually holding it was astounding - and Franco just standing where the ball was the whole time.

Do we have any idea how his numbers split when catching in college?

Baseball Reference has his games split between C and 1B in 2017, 2018, and 2019.  But they and the Pac-12 don't break up the hitting.  I did find this game interesting as it faced off against Stanford and Stowers/Handley/Daschbach.  https://stats.pac-12.com/sports/bsb/2018-19/boxscores/20190517_i1g0.xml

From your computer keyboard to Mike Elias’ eyes. 
 

He reads OH, right?

lol, I'm hoping Elias doesn't need to hear from the fans to know what to do with Severino next year with Adley Rutschman just over the horizon. 

I agree with Frobby that there is an intern or two assigned to read OH and other relevant Orioles social media.

I doubt OH is a very big source of information for the Orioles brass.  But at the same time, I’m sure it gets read by some folks there.

    • I think yesterday was the nail in the coffin for him being on the playoff roster, assuming we make it.
    • I feel that way, too. I keep thinking about 2005.  2005: 10 games over .500 on June 20th. 1st place, two games up.  Shortly after they went on a 2-16 skid, and their last game at .500 was at the the start of that awful home 4 game series in late July when the White Sox swept them, and Raffy was exposed as taking PEDs. They fell under .500 that series and kept on sinking.  2024: 24 games over .500 on June 20th. 2nd place, a half game back.  Then immediately lose five straight. Due to their great start, they can't finish 14 under .500, but the dive feels eerily similar with all of the injuries, dormant bats, and all happening at the same time of year.  The floor coming out from underneath them feels a lot like it. That team was cooked by late July and by the first week of August, Mazzilli got the axe. That won't happen with Hyde this time, as they had a fine start this year, but this can't happen two years in a row under him. 
    • I know …. Gotcha. Trade away Stowers & Norby for Garbage and pick up Rivera & Jiminez. And be surprised when you offense stinks. 
    • You could cut and paste this write up for about every team in the organization. 
    • It’s because the strategies that they are taught and employ work much better in the minors with pitchers with worse stuff and command than in the majors.  This, in turn, inflates their minor league stats.  The good news is that thus far after an adjustment period those players do seem to adjust and do well. 
    • This was the lineup today: The problem is injuries. Hyde didn't have to run out this sort of lineup in May or June. You can nitpick about whether these were the right nine to start, but these are the players on the roster right now and it's because guys who were here in the winning months are not available.
    • I think you agree Roy. The injuries are one thing, but combining them with the continual influx of rookies/ near-rookies - (as promising as they may be) creates instability.  Holliday, Cowser, Mayo, Norby, Kjerstad, Povich, even Stowers.  The past two years: Rutschman and Henderson. One rookie, a solid unremarkable, yet reliable core that had been playing together for several years. Maybe Elias needs to answer for this. I’m not buying the injury excuse for position players. The pitching - amazing job for the injury plague (Kimbrel not included). Have to wonder if these injuries have something to do with the training staff don’t you?
