Hit by pitch and removed. Haven’t seen the video yet.  Edit: hit in helmet on 0-2 fastball. Hit the bill but didn't look to hit him in the face. By looks alone, it appears to be precautionary. He

The Orioles have played Vavra in the outfield 6 times (5 in CF, 1 in LF for the first time ever professionally) and at 2B 4 times so far this season. So early on it appears they are certainly giving h

As much as I want to see Vavra, Westburg, Henderson, and Stowers, there's an element of "if it's not broke don't fix it" going on.    This is not the time to be trading/releasing Odor or even turning

He’s back. Rehabbing in Aberdeen.

I’d like to see him up in Baltimore ASAP. You get what you can out of him knowing he could go back on the IL at any time.

Based on how he’s been played this year I think the org looks at him as more of an outfielder than a second baseman, which is unfortunate. Love to see him knock Owings off the roster.

The kid needs to prove he can stay on the field. He's got talent for sure, but he's quickly getting into Diaz territory when it comes to getting hurt.

I think Martin was coming up to replace Ownings long term. With Urias’ injury, I’m thinking Vavra is real close to getting the call. He just has to be healthy and there has to be an opening. If Urias isn’t out that long then he may have to wait until Odor is traded, IF he can stay healthy.

I feel like the excitement over Henderson’s and Westburg’s promotions to Norfolk and their good starts there have overshadowed the fact that Vavra is back and hitting very well.  He went 3 for 5 today and sports a .349 BA and .882 OPS at Norfolk.   He’s hitting .382/.447/.471 since he returned to Norfolk last week.   If he can stay healthy he could be on the big club in the second half.

Not sure where Vavra fits.  He can play 2B and the OF but it doesn't seem like they view him as a regular 2B and I have no idea what kind of defense he displays in the OF.    I get the feeling that full-time 2B is not in his future.  Probably either super utility guy (agree that he could replace McKenna), or possibly a replacement for Cedric Mullins if he's dealt.    Most likely, he's going to improve the ML depth as a bench player.   Someone you could have some confidence in at the plate unlike Mr. McKenna.

I think they like guys to have "positional versatility" and he doesn't have the arm for the LF of the infield, but he has some speed. He's probably a super utility, but a guy who starts 4+ times a week, not a McKenna who might start once, but come in often as a defensive replacement (I agree you probably don't need both on the roster though). I would expect Vavra to come up when they decide what they are going to do with Odor though

      Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.

      I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Say O! · Posted

      In the market and $$$ for SP = Mets, Cubs, BOS, WAS and SFG (depending on Snell opt-out).  That’s enough chairs when music stops for Burnes and Fried to cash in, and still ample for second tier Eovaldi, Manea, Kikuchi, Flaherty.

      So give Burnes $30-35 and you still have $23 plus whatever pay increase is approved

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      1) I feel like we could’ve used some veteran star power leadership  2) Money 💰…if need be get a switch hitter  3) I’m standing by sign Burnes …I anticipate 6 or 7 years … Fail or Fall? I expect him to disappoint … In addition to Burnes I’d be looking to extend Eflin  4) I think we have a number of guys leaving … we almost certainly have a pick for Santander and Burnes if Elias fails. Spend some dam money  5) I think they’d approve $200 ish million …. But who know. I’ve come to believe his name should be bargain bin Mike. But I’m willing to wait and see since the new owners may push him to bulk up the team. If I’m Rubbenstein I’d want some star power to have a shot at a WS while I he’s still alert  6) I’m done with the batting coaches … bring in one competent guy. Preach get on base and make good contact over swinging for the moon.    In regards to pitching it’s the rash of arm injuries that has me concerned. Was it a fluke or coaching philosophy. I’ll chalk it up to bad luck but boy we had a lot of it  7) I think Gunnar is the guy you go after… if it’s a no …you can early extend Westburg. I’d want to see Adley rebound. If the front office is confident he will maybe you extend him now.    8.) I’m fine with McCann but perhaps we need a C3 with the way we regularly play both. 9) I’m fine with what we have if everyone is healthy this coming year and Felix is ready to roll from the get go. I believe he makes Cionel, Cano, Dominquez , Coulombe and Soto better. If you want an upgrade then I guess you can trade some as depth   10)I think he likes to take shots on lottery tickets… I don’t think it’s out of the box for him. Holliday depends if your moving Mullins along.
