Corresponding moves...

 

 

No real surprises here other than Ryan Ripken found a way to stay employed. I'd take Majias-Bream over him due to his versatility at AAA. Kehe can now go focus on his mining career even though it was cool to have someone drafted from the Colorado School of Mines. Lewis is the guy you want if you need someone to beat up FCL pitching but he will always have that 442 foot home run in Delmarva to remember. Litscher and Zebron were guys who's velocity just never came. Erwin had a nice org career as a 23rd round draft pick.

I haven’t seen a list anywhere and rosters aren’t updated yet. Hopefully more information comes out tomorrow on the “Minor League Off Day.” Someone else mentioned Coby Mayo moving up to Delmarva

Its the same way has he's used for a year or two now: his dad. 

I'm sure some of the guys we let go are better than Ripken, but none are big leaguers. I'm not going to get too concerned about it until we start losing guys that may have a shot in favor of Ripken. I expect, perhaps over the winter, the Orioles and Ryan figure out a way for him to transition into being a minor league coach or something.

Agreed.  If they want Westburg at SS and Henderson at 3B, then play them there.  Get them the reps.  There is no good reason I can think of to keep bouncing them around.

Maybe one gets injured or turns out to suck. Anyone who can play SS should play SS IMO. Imagine if Cal had never been given the opportunity because he was thought of as a 3B.

I remember Zebron had a nice debut season in the GCL (2.97 ERA) alongside Rodriguez and Rom and I was kind of disappointed when he repeated the GCL the next year (to a 1.31 ERA).     He hasn’t done much at Delmarva, so I can’t really argue with his release.   I remember Tyler Ervin having a pretty good season a few years back too (1.58 ERA and 18 saves for Frederick in 2018).   Good luck to both of them.   

As to Ripken, it’s pretty ridiculous.   If we want his name in the org, make him a coach or something.

I'm almost starting to think Ripken is being kept around just long enough to get a token September callup.  Maybe not Sept 1, maybe the last homestand.

Are they misguided enough to think that it would bring a few thousand extra fans out to the park the night he makes his debut?

I've learned never to say never with the Orioles, but this would show a serious detachment from reality. You might get members of the Ripken family and personal friends to show up and watch, but that's it.

      Injuries have sucked, the pen has been an issue but is Adley the biggest problem?

      By MDK02 · Posted

      If you want to see how young superstars should play, look at Churios and Merrill. Both big time contributors to their teams in the post season, both players 20 and 21 years of age. Meanwhile, our Jackson doesn’t even get an AB. Something is just off with this organization and their development..

      I agree with some of the opening post. I cannot blame Hyde for this team not hitting. I believe it is completely analytical based. Analytics are against singles, walks, hit and run or bunts.    I know we can pick our guy to be upset with but I will go with Tony Taters. Adley hit a single to RF and with the right effort and baserunning he should have been on third base. Don’t have to talk about the terrible AB with the bases loaded. There was another play with the Massey single in the second that rubbed me the wrong way. The ball was hit 73 MPH and landed 250 feet. The RF wall is 325 feet away so how far is he playing back against Michael Massey? Tony did not strike me of a guy giving it everything he had to get to a fly ball. He basically assumed Mullins would get it and jogged in.

      Sometimes I regret being an Oriole fan

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I would have taken this loss harder in the past guess I'm getting older. Also this team has been telegraphing for over a half season how this season would end. I don't want to hear stats on how many runs this team scored it's a lineup that lives and dies by the home run. The problem is the weather cools in October and the ball doesn't carry as well in summer at OPACY. The Orioles actually got good pitching, but the offense came up small yet again. Elias needs to rethink the types of hitters he has on the Orioles roster and evaluate the effectiveness of having two hitting coaches. There's even an offensive strategy coach and what exactly does he do? "Hey Adley next time you get up the plate try not to make an out".

      Completely agree and there's no reason the O's shouldn't be a serious player for Soto.  Him and one top starter and I'm happy.

      10/2 Orioles vs Royals Wild Card Game #2

      By Marshmellow · Posted

      Add a couple of seasoned professionals who know how to win. Solid players who have been around a while. These young guys are talented for sure, but that’s not enough. They need to learn to play better as a team and know what it takes to win consistently.  I honestly think they get caught up in reading about how good they are, not proving it on the field day after day.

      Except Cruz wasn’t an overpay. He’s the rare older free agent that actually earned his money. By the way, Cruz was the 55th highest paid player when he signed his FA deal after he played for the Orioles. He wasn’t even that expensive.    But that’s just an aside. I understand what you’re saying and your point is valid. I’m just still irked that the Orioles basically punted in that offseason that Cruz walked. I hope they are fiscally brave enough to take the next step and not count on Holliday and Mayo to improve next years team.
