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

The 2B DP turn is quickly becoming Hyde's TTTP. :)  But I agree. If they're going to replace Odor at 2B, they want it to be a guy who has a strong arm. I think we'll see Gunnar at 2B mostly, with some starts sprinkled in at 3B. That probably changes next year, but who knows. 

Well it appears the veteranosity of Odor was much too strong so Stowers goes to the bench, Henderson to 3B on day one. I don't know why I would look at things logically as long as Odor is on this roster. Honestly at this point I would not be surprised if the Orioles offer Odor a long term extension before the season is over.

So, should I expect that the O’s will go undefeated the rest of the season now?

I am excited to watch Gunnar.   It’s one thing to watch video highlights of his successful at bats, which I’ve done numerous times over the last two years; it’s another thing to see the guy playing against live major league competition.   As much attention as I’ve paid to him, I’ll learn more about Gunnar’s game in the next week than I’ve learned in the previous year.   I’m really looking forward to watching him play and getting everyone’s impressions of what they see.

Here's hoping he can mash right away.  Looking forward to watching tonight and for the rest of the season.  

I'm assuming this means he's on the OD roster to start 2023, no weird ass rosterbation manipulation right?

That would be tough to do unless Henderson look pitiful.

I'm curious to see how the Orioles use Gunnar now that's he been called up. Will Gunnar primarily play 3B like tonight or will he rotate around the infield. I suspect we will see Gunnar get playing time at every infield position besides catcher this next month. 

Had my hopes on 2B tonight for Gunnar, but Odor still has the birthright for playing 2B.

Since it's safe to say he can't cross the 130 AB threshold, I'm hoping he's in the lineup every day in some capacity.  

If they bring him up to sit him more than they're playing him, then this move was stupid.  He has to be able to provide more offense than Odor/Nevin and anyone else.

      Elias: It's on me

      I was just asking for clarification.  So it seems you're asking for changes that aren't able to be implemented in the off-season and can't be evaluated well into next season. That's fine so long as you're ready to be disappointed this off-season.

      I don’t think the OH brother ship can be categorized as the “average fan”.    I think posters here are quite a bit beyond. I don’t think the average fan is regularly posting on a fan site

      The One Trophy Blues

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Drungo's One Trophy label for the setup of US sports playoffs was new lingo to me recently, and Adley and Gunnar have a long way to go to get near the Active WAR leaders, who also in brilliant careers have zero dogpiles.     Many of them this week we get to see killing themselves for one taste.     Rundown of the top notables, with career rWAR as the top tier of 2024 Clubs begin play today. 86, Mike Trout - his life is his to do with as he chooses, but as a baseball fan I'm rooting for him to go another path before it is too late. 62, Paul Goldschmidt - way past peak.    The 2025 Orioles may be one of few teams with very high playoff odds to want him for a starting role if a Zero Ryan path is charted.    Much more so than any current Oriole, he's been what we hope Coby Mayo might become. 57, Manny Machado - a yardstick of the Dodgers' greatness.    Players like him or Trea Turner or Corey Seager, Andrew Friedman's judgment sometimes is "Nah, not good enough". 56, Nolan Arenado - guaranteed 3/74 on the rest of his contract, perhaps waiting for a buy-side trade.     Declared lame duck GM scenarios are unusual. 52, Jose Ramirez - a player who has devoted himself to one small-market team, and that Club's unquestioned leader, something the Orioles don't have yet.      Some of Adley's teammates and ex-teammates might be salty about recent choices. 52, Aaron Judge - an amazing early 30's peak - problems for the Orioles if he endures like Nelson Cruz or Barry Bonds.    Career health track record has some dings. 51, Bryce Harper - a Manny Machado bookend in my baseball fandom.    They've grown from brash kids to serious professionals - both played much of 2024 less than 100% same as Adley. 49, Francisco Lindor - so close along with Jose Ramirez against the Bryant/Rizzo/Hyde Cubs.     The back strain poetic considering the carrying he's been doing as David Stearns gets ready for his first full off-season running Steve Cohen's club. 49, Andrew McCutchen - nearly the Jose Ramirez of the Pirates.   Nice to see him winding down respectably there.    I'll have generally good wishes for him if he pushes to get to be Paul Skenes teammate for a full season. 44, Giancarlo Stanton - he is upright today, the main thing Brian Cashman cares about.    rWAR has his last 3 seasons worth less than 1 WAR. 43, Shohei Ohtani - one of the greatest players ever has made some choices none of these other greats have to try and tilt the odds in his favor.    His MLB postseason debut is tonight.    Kind of a fun fact rWAR this moment has him at half Trout. It is possible none of these guys escape this list if the Royals or Tigers come through.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      Rogers 🤮   if we have that rotation I’m betting our win total takes another 5-10 game step backwards

      Fundemental change for me isn’t wholesale firings. I think we’re short on pitchers in the system, I think we’re not developing pitchers as well we could. However, drafting more arms early in the draft isn’t going to win us a playoff game next year, so free agency is the short term answer. I loved the Earl Weaver era and the three run homer, yet, our youthful foundation could think about a couple more bunts and being more aggressive on the base paths (without looking at the numbers, it felt like the O’s took a step back from 2023 on the bases) may be something to look at going forward.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Maybe … but I think Rubinstein will be interested in Corbin returning. I don’t think they can get a better replacement for less in Free Agency and think finding another rental is unwise considering what they’ve already moved.

      If that’s humor, it needs work. If you’re actually asking for clarification: The next MLB draft is July 2025. I hope the O’s add more arms than they have previously via the amateur draft. RISP, for me, is more about small ball than a particular hitter. I don’t think that the all or nothing swings the O’s relied on against KC worked out very well. Free agency opens up soon enough, Elias could very well add a bat to help the offense in December.
