I'm always amazed that folks have expectations for Roch.

To me he lost the last shred of credibility he had back in 2008.

Well he does have good sources within the team. If Roch says he heard a rumor worth reporting on, I believe him. And he did say "this week". Not Monday.

I got a chance to see Henderson play in person for the first time today.  I’ve watched dozens of his games on TV but hadn’t had a chance to see him play live.   My observations are the following:

I learned a ton watching him today.  The kid is fearless and carries himself like a big leaguer.   You can see all the tools are there.   Honestly, I was even impressed by him spoiling an 0-2 pitch an

Remember, Roch and a few others got trolled recently on Twitter by someone pretending to be the Orioles, posting one of their “transaction” pictures with Odor DFA’ed, Gunnar up, and I think something else.

He's not a reporter, hasn't been for a long time.

He doesn't have sources, he receives talking points.

I'm not slamming him, but that's his job now.

Gunnar started at 3rd base tonight.  Westburg at 2nd.  Does he play 3B  until he is called up because that is where he will be playing in the big leagues?  

Tough. Think some 3rd, some 2nd, occasional 1st. Occasional SS, they don't seem to rest Mateo much. My guess is more 2B down the stretch. Only because Odor's arm is what keeps him in the lineup. They need someone with a gun to keep him out of the lineup more regularly. They could put Urias there. I mean, who knows really? Excited to see how it plays out. They have to call him up sooner rather than later tho.

I got a feeling they will move Urias to 2b primarily but you could be right.  It is hard to rest Mateo the way he is playing defense.  He has done stuff that many guys just can't do.

Yeah, only hesitation I have with Urias at 2nd is that they haven't done it much. Might be because with Nevin on the roster he's an easier choice to sit. Might be because they don't trust him at 2nd. Again, no idea. Seems when they plug Vavra in at 2B, mostly (not tonight, I know) they put Odor in at third. Could also be a matchup choice too. He seems to be the easiest regular to sit.  But yeah, can't wait to see how it plays out. Might get to answer some of the "huh?" questions we've had all season.

      Elias…DFA Kimbrel now!!

      I think yesterday was the nail in the coffin for him being on the playoff roster, assuming we make it.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By NashLumber · Posted

      I feel that way, too. I keep thinking about 2005.  2005: 10 games over .500 on June 20th. 1st place, two games up.  Shortly after they went on a 2-16 skid, and their last game at .500 was at the the start of that awful home 4 game series in late July when the White Sox swept them, and Raffy was exposed as taking PEDs. They fell under .500 that series and kept on sinking.  2024: 24 games over .500 on June 20th. 2nd place, a half game back.  Then immediately lose five straight. Due to their great start, they can't finish 14 under .500, but the dive feels eerily similar with all of the injuries, dormant bats, and all happening at the same time of year.  The floor coming out from underneath them feels a lot like it. That team was cooked by late July and by the first week of August, Mazzilli got the axe. That won't happen with Hyde this time, as they had a fine start this year, but this can't happen two years in a row under him.

      I know …. Gotcha. Trade away Stowers & Norby for Garbage and pick up Rivera & Jiminez. And be surprised when you offense stinks.

      It’s because the strategies that they are taught and employ work much better in the minors with pitchers with worse stuff and command than in the majors.  This, in turn, inflates their minor league stats.  The good news is that thus far after an adjustment period those players do seem to adjust and do well.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      This was the lineup today: The problem is injuries. Hyde didn't have to run out this sort of lineup in May or June. You can nitpick about whether these were the right nine to start, but these are the players on the roster right now and it's because guys who were here in the winning months are not available.

      I think you agree Roy. The injuries are one thing, but combining them with the continual influx of rookies/ near-rookies - (as promising as they may be) creates instability.  Holliday, Cowser, Mayo, Norby, Kjerstad, Povich, even Stowers.  The past two years: Rutschman and Henderson. One rookie, a solid unremarkable, yet reliable core that had been playing together for several years. Maybe Elias needs to answer for this. I’m not buying the injury excuse for position players. The pitching - amazing job for the injury plague (Kimbrel not included). Have to wonder if these injuries have something to do with the training staff don’t you?
