In previous years (prior to 2020), September 1st was the time when teams could carry their entire 40 man roster in the dugout. Usually 3rd catchers, extra pitchers and some defensive replacements and/or younger players. What made it fun was having these debuts, the “will they/won’t they” with the call ups and the randomness of a few.

However, that got nixed. So now it is just “2 players. One pitcher and one fielder.” So much fun…

With that being said, who do you want to see up? Be realistic. No Adley, or Cowser or Zach Peek.

Gotta be Wells, right? He’s a “prospect” but he’s only had 18 innings of audition.

Would love to see a catcher but for some reason they are happy with the catching(I know, right?) so how about Bannon?

I think pitching will get rotated through a bit. Lowther should be back from rehab soon, same with Harvey (Hunter type). Either one could be held until the 1st to be activated.

Catching is what it is. Cumberland has been a busy this season besides being a target for pitchers to throw at (literally) and Nick Cuiffo is just happy to have a job. 
 

I’d like to see Bannon and McKenna. I’d also like to see Mason McCoy.

McKenna should be here anyway, he’s a solid asset even if he doesn’t hit well.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      Yes my mistake I thought those were eligible. They may be eligible after winter meetings. Manfred seems to like the idea of making more picks available for trade.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I always compare where we are in attendance to payroll. As it stands our attendance will be 19th in the league and payroll 22nd. The Twins are at 19th with 130 million dollar payroll which is 22 million higher than ours. I expect the Nats and Tigers to spend a little this offseason so that 130 million mark for 19th place may move closer to 140. Still gives this team 50-60 million to spend on either resigning guys or free agents.

      Well, the changes to the flex plans this year led both me ($1200 plan) and my friend ($2500 plan) to not renew for next year. The decision to more severely limit playoff presale access and dramatically reduce the discount on food and drinks at the park just didn’t make it worth it to tie up that much money in advance. So, we’ll likely go to far fewer games next year. Given the press reports and online reaction, I have to think we weren’t alone in our decision making.

      Rivera and Soto are hitting.   Holliday and Mayo are not.

      Holliday could fill the role of pinch runner that Mateo would fill.

      AL playoff picture

      Yeah. I don’t get that either. SEA would win head to head tie with HOU and push HOU into WC race but it’s irrelevant if the loses don’t match.

      Maybe, just maybe, theres a ray of hope

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Regardless of how down I've been about their recent play, there's always been some hope. Getting some guys back in time for the post season will definitely help.    The way this team has been built requires a group effort. I mean,  Gunnar is a huge star, but the lineup when healthy can be competitive top to bottom. I'm not knocking NY here, but if you can eliminate Judge(almost impossible), you stand a chance vs them. I'm not implying that they will go on a deep run because we've seen how bad it can be, but simply saying that getting healthy and having a shot is the best we as fans could have hoped for with the way this season has gone.
