Got a chance to see Westburg play in person today for the first time.  My impressions were the following: -he’s a big guy.  Incredibly strong.  He pounded the ball all day and finished with a har

Jordan Westburg now has 106 RBI on the year.   + Colton Cowser a big finish at AAA, batting .311 last 15g. Also Cowser has scored 113 runs this year, 3rd in all of minors.

Might not have Westburg if Elias wasn't in charge.

Pretty bad BB/K ratio.  Hopefully he can figure that out.

That’s a good metric to watch for Westburg.  Especially his BB%.  It has torpedoed in AAA. Combine that with a significantly higher pull rate and higher GB rates in AAA and I bet he’s HR happy.

Is Westburg's 7 errors in 25 games at SS for Norfolk somewhat concerning? Not sure if mostly throws?

He's been pretty steady up until now. Maybe taking his slump out into the field.  Another poster went to a game a few weeks ago and did make mention of his throws being all over the place.

I was actually glad that someone mentioned he's been pulling the ball a lot.  That suggests to me he's only slumping and it's nothing more serious.  When he's going good he's hitting doubles to rcf.  Not sure why he keeps regressing into pull mode.  With Mateo ahead of him and Joe Ortiz behind him and Gunnar Henderson beside him, SS is looking less a less like Westburg's future position on the O's.  I was playing around the other day with a future lineup with Westburg at 1B but it's not that crazy if his bat is for real.

Westburg vs Norby is really going to become an interesting debate.

And then how does Mayo factor in.  He’s been disappointing this year but is still a very good prospect imo.  Hopefully he ends the year on a high note.

.156/.244/.182 in 20 games before this Rochester series. Hopefully he can carry this success over for the rest of the season.

Hit a low point about 5 games ago with 7 strikeouts and 1 walk over 3 games.   Since then, 6 walks and 1 strikeout before today.   Maybe he hit bottom, again!

He's an interesting dude. His OPS in Norfolk (.827) is now higher than it was in Bowie this year (.817). He's .878 in August despite a bad start.

He also has 18 ks and 16 walks in August. That is a significant development that we hope changes his profile a bit. It comes after a July where he had 26 ks to 5 walks, a June with 21/6, and a May with 30/11. In 2021 he was basically a 2/1 ratio of k/bb.

He was promoted to Norfolk in early June, so that can't be blamed for the slump. Basically, he was terrible through July and early August but has otherwise been a stud.

Oh, and he's still at 7 errors, which he was at on 8/7, so he's had a clean 2+ weeks in the field.

      I imagine the goal is to get him available to just give them anything out of the pen in the wild card round. Depending on how that goes and if the O’s can advance who knows.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      The interesting thing about 1B is Mayo.     Elias keeps pushing Mayo at 3B.   But if Westburg is healthy he is better at 3B.   And they don't seem to play Mayo has much as they could at 1B where he might have a better chance at a regular job.    DH might be his best position. If Santander leaves, then Kjerstad probably gets an every day spot at RF.   Elias might want to see Kjerstad hit well in RF before he hands over 2B to Holliday.   Too many struggling rookies at the same time is not good for wins.   Mayo is  behind Kjerstad and Holliday IMO in getting a lot of playing time. However, developing Kjerstad, Holliday and Mayo  are key parts of the O's future no  matter how Elias develops them.

      Walker is definitely an upgrade over Mountcastle.  Walker has cleared an .800 OPS the past three seasons.  Mountcastle has only done it once -- his rookie year.  Plus Mountcastle hasn't even cleared 20 homers since 2022.  Mountcastle is good in a platoon, used against lefties, but otherwise he's fallen off. Walker is 33, which is a bit of a risk, but which makes me think he could be had on a short term deal.  That said I think the O's will have competition for Walker.  He's one of the most underrated bats in the league.   If the O's think Kjerstad can play 1B then I think they should maybe go with him and look for a new RF (unless they bring back Santander, which seems more unlikely now).  But I don't know about Kjerstad's glove there. Mayo's glove at 1B may be even more questionable than Kjerstad's.  Plus Mayo just hasn't shown he's ready with his bat yet.  I'm against assuming guys will figure out how to hit MLB pitching within a presumed timeframe.  Mayo hasn't shown he's there yet.  Let him work his way into the lineup rather than giving him a starting job.  But with him there's also the issue of where his defense plays best, or if it plays anywhere.

      So either Grayson won’t face hitters this year (ie he’s done for the year) or he’s in the pen.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I feel better after getting a W against the Giants; somewhere along the way I had stated I felt we almost had to get at least one from them, and now we have.  However, lets not act like this one win means the offense has broken its slump and we're suddenly going to start rolling.  I hope we do, but we're one bad game away from feeling like we'll never score a run again.  If we go down 3-0 or something early tonight, it will be hard to resist the doomsday feeling - we're just as likely to get one-hit or something stupid like that tonight as we are to score 5 or 6 runs.  Its a tough schedule to finish the season, tougher than maybe we would have thought with Detroit playing so well.  Still not counting my chickens but yeah that W yesterday changed the calculus a good bit in our favor.

      Update: As expected, the corresponding move for Coulombe is Burch Smith, but he's going on the IL instead of being DFA'd. Right adductor/groin strain.
