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.

      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

      By wildcard · Posted

      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

      By rm5678 · Posted

      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.
