Spring Training games are over for the O’s

Well, AAA starts up today so a lot of guys who aren't going to make the teams may already be in Norfolk and Toledo.

We had announced that Keegan Akin was going to go tomorrow.

Well, the Orioles finish 8-8 in the Grapefruit League.

I wonder if any competitive teams had to cancel due to lack of available pitching or for other  mickey mouse reasons. 

 

I'm assuming the key word to that sentence is "competitive."

Oh well, at least ST is over.  Looking forward to halfway paying attention to work on Friday and watching the game.  

Rutschman aside, it looks like we made it out relatively unscathed from an injury front, no?

The only other game scheduled for tomorrow is the Rays vs. Phillies. That one still seems to be on.

Dillon Tate hasn't even showed up to camp for 3 or 4 days running due to a "sore throat".

It's especially surprising because the Orioles and Tigers agreed to add tomorrow's game to the schedule after the original (revised) spring training schedule came out.

I wonder if they weren't aware at the time that the AAA season started today so those teams would have to be fairly well stocked by now.

    • A good manager would have instructed him to bunt Well not for nothing, but I would like 100 dollars for every time a Good Manager did not bunt with first and second with nobody out. Now if the SF pitcher was LH, I would be onboard. If they were down by 1, maybe. Why would you not let Mullins hit there?
    • Putting aside the issue of “not counting” stats that don’t fit the argument, I’m curious who he would have had hit there. What were the other options? Eloy Jimenez (1 for his last 23) Coby Mayo (3 for 37 with 21 Ks as a pro) Jackson Holliday (0 for last 22 vs LHPs  with 12 Ks) Livan Soto (~.600 career AAA OPS vs LHPs)   Not saying Slater was some slam dunk pick, but I honestly don’t really even understand how folks can criticize Hyde for those types of decisions anymore. Every lever he has available to pull is clearly marked *WRONG* in flashing red lights. 
    • Is it really the injuries?  
    • People born in 1984 are 40 now and have never seen the O’s get past the ALCS
    • Really tired of the losing, but even more tired of the team not playing the game the right way. Giants losing by a run get men on 1st and 2nd no outs, and their next guy lays down a nice bunt. Kremer slips fielding the roller and next thing you know they got bases loaded no outs, and a couple minutes later three runs have crossed the plate. We have the same situation in the 7th inning and our best bunt guy up to bat, and what does Hyde do? He has Mullins (0-3 at that point w/o hitting the ball out of the infield) swing away. WTF. Mullins strikes out, and our runners are eventually stranded.    At the very least Mullins should shown bunt. He didn’t. A good manager would have instructed him to bunt. Hyde didn’t. His team lost the game, and more importantly his team deserved to lose. That’s what really pisses me off. 
    • Rivera and Soto should be playing over Holliday and Mayo until Westburg and Urias return. It's what Buck would have done in 2014.
    • Many of us aren’t all that young anymore…
