It's criminal that Odor continues to start. Benching Gunnar tonight in order to play Odor is pure incompetence. Makes both our offense and defense worse.

Elias has managed the roster poorly for the stretch run. Gunnar should have been promoted earlier (3-7 games sooner), and Westburg should have been promoted by now, pushing Odor to the bench or the waiver wire. Stowers should also have gotten much more regular at bats instead of wasting away on the bench - Aguilar has gotten playing time he hasn't deserved, and Hays should have been platooned against righties ever since Stowers was promoted.

So Vavra in the OF over Stowers. Pretty telling. Hays has been a little better as of late. I know with 20 games straight guys will get days off.

My friend said Stowers in the outfield has not been pretty.He was talking about that one play against the Nats when he dove for the ball and missed it by like 30 feet. He scouts and said he gets bad jumps and bad reaction time.

SSS but he has not been impressive.

I'm not confident in him as an outfielder. I felt the same way about DJ Stewart, too. I hope they try him at 1B in the offseaon if he's not part of a trade. I feel like he's destined to be a DH. If his bat was good enough, that would be OK, but I'd really like him to offer something on the defensive side that doesn't hurt us.

    • You’re right, he was not optioned in 2022, but he was first optioned September 8, 2021 by the Blue Jays. It’s in the extra rows of latest transactions on his player page: https://www.mlb.com/player/bryan-baker-641329 I use the Roster Resource page on Fangraphs, which shows he’s on his last option this year: https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/depth-charts/orioles I initially didn’t check when he was first optioned, just assumed it was 2022, but turns out it was 2021. Regardless, he’ll be out of options next year. 
    • Any thoughts on who that “Verlander” like player could be? I would have said Alcantara but he doesn’t have a larger contract and he is hurt. I can’t identify that kind of player out there right now. None of the obvious selling teams have any really good pitchers. Maybe Berrios or Kikuchi if the Jays decide to sell? But Kikuchi isn’t expensive and is Berios really an ace? Sonny Gray? But the Cards are actually slightly over .500. I just can’t seem to find that kind of guy out there.
    • I think the Yankees series is very simple. Try to have nobody on base when Judge and Soto come to the plate. Get to there bullpen early. A lot easier said than done.
    • and youre persona is to ask or give multiple questions and answers to the same narrative. No quality starts? How bout seven starts with a 1.91 ERA and a whip slightly above one. OK I get it everybody waiting for it blowup, but honestly all things being equal why would be matching Suarez against Suarez so youre criticism of our Saurez is not as good as stat wise the best pitcher in the game so far. And in addition a quality start is some stat from a generation age that nobody pays attention to. No doubt the phillies getting full value for the buck on Saurez (5 mil). were paying league min. I'll take it 
    • Urias and Santander are slower than Rutschman.  O'Hearn is actually faster than Hays and Mountcastle. At least according to statcast sprint speed which isn't an exact analog to base stealing ability. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/sprint_speed?min_season=2024&max_season=2024&position=&team=BAL&min=10
    • Hopefully the O's took notes on the Red Sox exposing Trevino on Sunday night. Anyone not named McCann, Rutschman, and O'hearn - if you get on base, just run. 
    • I just read a take on his changeup that loved it - thought it might help him be a "reverse splits" kind of RH middle reliever. Right now the Orioles have a bunch of lefties though should Coulombe end up okay.
