I’m not sure I remembered he was still with the organization.  Injuries really set him back.   I wish him all the best.  

He played his first full season last year between Delmarva and Aberdeen. He held his own but at he didn't really show anything at the plate that made you think he was a prospect. Nice arm though.

Get in your "Elias can't draft" hot takes!!! 

Joking aside, some familiar names on here - Jarrett, Escarra, Janvrin. Yahn got into the final spring game. 

That was actually pretty classy of the Orioles. I had a feeling when I saw the names in that last game those guys were probably going to get released. I liked watching Yahn play. Such a scrappy little player that will play anywhere and do anything to help the team. He was a great org kinda guy to have around. 

No surprises elsewhere.

Alvarez has always had a fascinating statline. 62 career walks to 36 career strikeouts. Career .256 hitter with a .371 OBP, but absolutely no power, 8 extra base hits, all doubles, over 371 at-bats.

He was probably one of the weakest hitters i've seen professionally. He really had no pop whatsoever and wasn't very good defensively anywhere.

Yeah, he would seemingly have to be an elite defensive shortstop to be playable with his offensive output. You just don't see stat lines like that very often anymore, even in the minors.

I thought they were higher on Zach Jarret, but I guess with the breakout seasons from Stowers and others last year, he got…Lapped. 😎

Escarra had power but that was about it.

I was slightly surprised to see Jarrett let go, but he certainly wasn’t a top prospect, and I guess the handwriting was on the wall when he wasn’t listed on the break camp squad.   I agree with your comments on Yahn — I hope he catches on somewhere else if that’s what he wants to do.

Yeah, if you look at the Bowie and Norfolk rosters it does make sense that Jarrett was the odd man out. The only outfielder between Bowie and Norfolk you could make a case for releasing over Jarrett is Shayne Fontana, with Jarrett going to Norfolk and Rizer to Bowie. With the number of decent outfielders in AA and AAA plus the logjam in the infield at AA, it makes sense for Jarrett to go. There really aren't any true org guys in the Baysox or Norfolk infield or outfield.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By 24fps · Posted

      Very weak.  OTOH, there's still a possibility that Jackson Merrill won't win in the NL.  Who didn't want Cowser to have had that rookie season?

      Who’d a thunk it? There’s a chance? Almost like it’s a long season. Now if only that Mayo guy would do something.

      Jeez, it really was a welcome game tonight.  I had a good buzz going...   Now I have to factor in your chronic angst.  Thanks man.

      If we enter the Yankees series down by three games, we have a mathematical chance. However, we are going to have to intentionally walk Judge and Soto every single AB. The athletics did us no favors tonight.  Still four games out..

      I know. I'm a hand wringer and a whiner when it comes to this team. I sometimes annoy myself with all this baseball nonsense. But really deep down,I'm still the 8 year old who lived and died with every Oriole game. Still. Im that kid. So when this team was really horrible like for most of the second half, it almost made me nauseous just to watch them lose in all kinds of ways. Then all those injuries in a wave. I really felt they weren't going to make the postseason at all. But baseball is a crazy game, and a light switch can be turned on in an instant. Maybe that Santander walk off HR on Thursday threw a switch. Because Friday night, this was a different team. They still strike out a lot, and Burnes was brilliant, but I feel maybe something is moving. Seeing Coluombe come in and strike two batters out, and Webb, not as good, but good enough with a big lead...and to see Cowser and McCann blast two, and Tony again with a HR...It got my juices flowing. Look, maybe they wont play well this weekend, maybe they will. And then the dreaded Yankees might break our hearts next week.But why think that way now.?Urias is coming, then Westburg, then maybe Mounty, and even possibly Grayson at the end . If we can somehow put the pieces together and get our mojo back, and have the players contribute, we maybe, just maybe, might have a little ray of hope.I still think this roster is talented when all our pieces are together, and as good as anyone when we are playing well. So, I'm not asking for a miracle. I'm just asking for a chance to see this team with most of the pieces together again, and compete.Maybe it's even a long shot, but I am still that 8 year old living and dying for a chance to see my boys make me proud. And these are my boys.

      Velocity was 1.5-2mph down across the board. Movement was good, especially the sweeper. The fastballs worry me at that velocity though... not sure he should be immediately high leverage in the way he used to be.
