They open at home at 6.35 vs Charlotte.

The starting pitcher is TBD according to the Tides website.   TBD has been good in the past and we hope he is good tonight.

Several players like Nevin and Martin are still  with the O's in ST so here is a guess at the opening lineup.   The real one will be posted later.

(L) Vavra  CF,   (R) Jones 2B,  (L) Stowers RF,  (R) Diaz LF, (L) Neustrom DH,  (R) Bannon 3B, (L) Dorrian 1B,  (R) Grenier SS, (S) Cumberland C  

A lot of lefties plus Cumberland as a switch-hitter.   Charlotte's starter McClure is a right-hander.

Triple A players appear happy with the Oriole provided accommodations. Nice to hear they put some money/thought into it

I'd like to see Vavra get as many reps at 2B as possible.  That seems like a more likely position for him to find playing time in the majors.  Jones is not a priority play for me but I rather see him in the OF if he's going to be in the lineup.

You may be right on that.  I have no insight on who is at 2B or CF.  Just guessing.

The Orioles know how to get their fans excitement going on opening day of their minor league season. The probably want to keep Rodriguez back in extended to get some miracle spring training regimen instead of pitching him again competition.

This organization really could care less about their fans.

Smith does  not make me want to tune in as much as if it was Grayson.

The Orioles have no understanding about generating excitement from their fans.

Hell, after 22 years, they've cut me off from having credentials so they really could less about this site or the diehards that make it up.

I think Grayson is going Friday. Maybe they figured more fans would attend that game instead of a Tuesday.

I don't think for a second that the Orioles do anything with fans in mind. Probably some computer program spit out the dates in which Rodriguez' most likely innings would be maximized and Friday popped out. 

I guess in the end it doesn't matter but as a fan it has become increasingly obvious that the Orioles regime under Elias does not care about the fans experience at any level. How much you wanna guess their affiliates other than Norfolk will even have a center field camera?

That’s bullshit. You’d think they’d be happy anyone still wanted to cover this crap major league roster

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
