Adley Rutschman 2022

[Frobby]

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.  

I just don’t think it’s GM malpractice if Elias waits a little longer.

And of course, Roch's headline today is about injuries. Only mention of Rutschman is going 0-4. I am probably considered a "fanboy" but even I have limits.

The amount of perfection people seemingly want to see from these young guys is astounding to me.

It's actually insulting to the players.

Folks seem to think that players today will crumble psychologically if forced to deal with a bit of adversity.

That was the talking points they handed to Roch.

He's a loyal employee despite going off script this spring.

Might they just want to give him his off day and bring him up tomorrow or would they announce it if that was the plan?

This is what I think. They wanted the off day for him.

It's just a silly (but rather funny) tweet showing Rutschman as an old man and the 2072 RoY.

Just the lineup from the team, and a Twitter response snarking about Adley.    They did a nice job with one of those "turn a photo into an old man" photoshop type things.

Nephews Bo and Luke Rutschman might be great Orioles too if they give up car racing.

Agree. He's going to struggle more than people are comfortable with when he comes up. 

And it might be for a the rest of this season. Rutschman has needed time to adjust to each level and the majors will be no different. I don't see him being an impact hitter right off the bat in the majors.
