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.

I don’t think there’s room for two right now.  Maybe on Sept. 1.   

Agreed, I don't think they would release Odor at this point.  Only other possibility would be if they don't think Stowers is ready and send him and Nevin down.

Not advocating for that and don't think it would happen.

He also has a .233 OPS in his last 18 PA's

That isn't great but is also a small sample, I mean his whole MLB stat line at this point is a relatively small sample.  Not saying I think he is a future all start I just like having some flexibility on the roster.  Having someone who can play the IF and the OF allows you to build a more creative roster.

Agree, the versatility is nice. Would probably be smart to start letting Westburg play some OF to finish the season too.

Call up Ortiz to fill the infield spots at Norfolk

I'd like to see him get regular (i.e. everyday) at bats before we make a judgment on him.  

Yeah, it's hard to think of any other sport where rookies get judged as quickly as they do in baseball. We've been following these guys for years because of the minor league system, but they're still rookies.

Lest we forget, he had a relatively cold beginning to August, but he’s had a 1.411 OPS the last 7 days, the dude is on absolute FIRE right now.

I wish there was a way we could promote red hot Henderson/Westburg both right now. Well I mean, I know there’s certainly a WAY, but I wish it was something I could actually realistically hope for.

      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.

      Danny Coulombe 2024

      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.
