McKenna is a perfectly fine backup centerfielder / pinch runner / late inning defensive upgrade. The Orioles don't need that type of player right now with both Mullins and Hays on the roster, but if either were injured or traded, McKenna would have a role. 

I don't think the Orioles are dumb enough to worry about Adley's AAA numbers after 3 games. Hope to see him against the Yankees on Monday.

2 games.   And not worried but watching very closely.

I want to make my own position clear.  I would like to see Rutschman brought up right now.   I think that would be the best for his development and for the team, despite his struggles last week.

The weather looks somewhat iffy in Norfolk this weekend,as the front from  last week comes  back in off the coast. Not a total washout but rain chances throughout the weekend. I wonder if the Orioles move him somewhere else like last weekend? Hudson Valley perhaps, where the weather looks a little better. Detroit? I don't think so but if Mountcastle goes on the IL,he can play first.

Yeah that front is a weird one. It's raining right now here next door in VA Beach, and is supposed to continue all weekend as you posted. I guess we'll see what happens!

On the pregame show tonight, Jonathan Mayo did a segment promoting Thursday's "Minor League Game of the Month".

Report has it in addition to Grayson/Adley, Memphis scheduled to pitch Matthew Liberatore and will have Nolan Gorman in the lineup.

Free on MLB.tv without a subscription - lunchtime tomorrow.

Looking for an actual link for this, not finding it so far.   Maybe they don’t post it until game time?  30 minutes away…

Dan Connolly seems to feel we won’t be seeing him in the majors until at least next weekend.

Ben McDonald seemed pretty confident in last night's pre game interview with Bradish that we would see him Monday night.

So of course I saw Adley’s three outs, but missed his homer.   The strikeout was on a borderline inside fastball taken for strike three.   Good pitch from Liberatore.   The other two outs were high fly balls pretty deep in the OF, where he just got under them a little too much.   

I really liked how he looked framing Grayson’s pitches, even though the ump had a pretty tight strike zone.   He did allow one stolen base and the throw was a bit wide right, pulling the fielder off the bag to catch it.  Overall, my impression is that Adley has looked a bit rusty defensively since his return.

Last night's game was pretty rough for him at first but his last two ABs were a line drive right at the center fielder and then a walk. I've watched almost every PA of his this year and the guy is human but even if he's struggling he's going to at least give you a couple good at bats. Not to mention the defense. I respect the deliberate approach the current regime takes to prospects but there's no excuse for him not to be in Baltimore in the next few days.

I happened to see the homer. He also appeared to just get under it, it was a high inside fastball. Awkward swing on it, and it just carried.

I have no idea how he hit that out. That had some wow factor to it.

      Melanie Newman: Bautista possibly back for September/October?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Perhaps, I don't really know. Since my press credentials were not renewed after COVID, I don't really know the new announcers besides Brett Hollander, due his WBAL days. I knew Arnold a little bit from his Frederick time.  Either way, I don't get the impression that Melanie talks out of turn or doesn't know what she can or can't say. Perhaps she was talking to Hyde and he said something offhand like, "Maybe even Bautistsa will be ready by the playoffs." Who knows?  I've been in a lot of situations talking with players and coaches and I knew what I could or could not say and when it was appropriate to report something, even if it was from an "unnamed source." I'm fairly certain Melanie would not still have a job with the Orioles if she did not know this by now too.

      It's a little surprising she would go "off-script", so to speak, on MASN when Elias has denied any chance of Bautista pitching this year. But perhaps MASN folks have a little more freedom under Rubenstein.

      Well, they got some good starts from Bradish so we'll see if that helps them win the AL East. If they win it by a game or two you can say he had an impact on this season. Bradish could still be back by the end of 2025 if everything goes smoothly.

      Not to turn this into a Melanie Newman thread again, but she's actually not too bad when she's doing the color part of the broadcast. She'll drop some meaningful statistical information occasionally and the other day she said something (can't remember exactly what it was) and I was like, "Hmm, not bad Melanie" in my head. The issue is she just too slow in describing the action and does not paint a good enough picture of where the balls are hit or the likely outcome.  An example would be something like this.  "He hits a skyball into the deep blue sky....(second of pause) the outfielder is going out for it but he won't get it. And Henderson is on second for a double. We don't know where, how far, or what the action was other than the ball was a skyball and the outfielder misses it. She'll then go back and explain in more detail what happened. I better call would be "Henderson lines a ball into deep right center, the center fielder is going over quickly but it's going to fall in, Henderson is rounding first, heading for second as the CF throws the ball in to the cut off as Henderson walks into second with a standup double." Now we have a much better picture of what happened in our minds.  Arnold gets too wordy at times too and sometimes gets behind but he's still better overall and has the best radio voice. Brett Hollander is the best at PBP in my opinion despite my "dislike" for him calling the Orioles "Baltimore" like an away/national announcer.

      I feel as though they bungled Bautista and Bradish’s injuries by delaying the inevitable. Because of those delays, it could be no Bautista until 2025 and no Bradish until 2026.

      Breaking down Holliday’s swing

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I think it’s fair to ask if he’s getting much to hit. With all the walks, it certainly seems like teams are staying away from him, even more so than Mayo. Would be nice to get some real reports about what is going on down there.

      I take it more as this is the talk behind the scenes and she just didn’t read the room well enough to know she wasn’t supposed to say anything.
