Got to see Creed in person today for the first time. Cracked an RBI triple in the fourth and then smashed the go ahead homer in the 9th to give Delmarva the win.

HR and a triple with 3 rbi... showing some signs of life!

Threw out two more runners trying to steal second tonight as well, six total.

Sure, but I’m sure his high school didn’t play six days a week.   

You are underestimating summer in Texas. If he played summer baseball, then he's dealt with incredible heat. I suspect he also played high school football in Texas...the summer and early "fall" practices are unimaginably hot. It's like living in a furnace even in September.

Willems was pulled after the second inning after taking a pitch off his throwing hand on a slider in the dirt he was attempting to block. They stole four bases off him after the injury, none of which were really his fault and then he came out of the game.

I assume he was able to throw the ball on those attempts.    I would assume they took him out because it swelled up on him.  Doesn't sound like anything serious if he was able to throw the ball after it happened but what do I know.

I didn't get to enjoy Frank's career as a 70's baby, but as a grown up felt some of who he is came through when he had this similar situation 16 years ago.

Bummer.

I will say this. After a slow start, he really started to show some promise. I don't know quite how much, but it seemed like he belonged, at a minimum, after he was able to get his feet under him.

Hopefully this is a short set back and he can continue to develop.

Since they didn't immediately pull him I doubt it's serious.

Very frustrating time with the sound on his other CS and the triple, but for now, here's a look (CS from his knees #1, 5/18)

I very much would like to see this triple. 😁

The triple from 5/15 was really poor video as far as showing him rounding the bases.  The triple from 5/18 was much better, tho I've got poor audio.  You get the idea tho.

He carries his weight pretty well. If he can keep it steady at where it is now, that should be ok I’d think.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      Right now I see the pitching staff as.  Eflin, GRod, Suarez, Kremer and one of Povich, Rogers, McDermott and Young.  All of the 5th starters have options so they can be on the shuttle if needed.   Bradish and Wells may come back in the 2nd half. Pen:  Bautista, Cano, Coulombe, Dominguez, Soto, Akin, Perez, Webb and Bowman.   Yes that is 9 but someone is normally injured.   I will not be surprised if the O's protect Nick Anderson and bring him to camp in case of injuries.    Akin has an option next year. That is 20 pitchers. Will Elias look to improve over the winner? Sure but with the 5th starters being able to either start or be a long man in the pen the O's begin the off season with volume on the pitching staff.

      If you're going to make this a WAR/OPS/OPS+ debate, sure, he's not the best offensive player right now.  But then again his power/speed combination makes him tough to beat. Best talent ever because of the ability to pitch, yes.  That's the point I was making.  Not only to pitch, but to be dominant on the hill, too.

      I think Mullins is as set as the entire lineup, but he would have to go if Elias chased the Robert upgrade. Getz already navigated the 3-team thing when he wanted Dodgers Latin kids, and the Dodgers didn't feel Erick Fedde was the caliber of pitcher they wanted to deploy. I do like Santander as a Victor Martinez aficionado, but he and Kjerstad are both RF profiles and, holy Rio Ruiz Batman, the handpicked kid has to play.    This is one of those calculations where the 80% as good for 20% of the cost part is easy, even if Kjerstad never achieves the heights Santander is at now. There's still room to hope Kjerstad is all Santander is and more, but even if he isn't, the team needs the Santander salary slot repurposed to pitching more than it needs him. I think after this summer's moves, we got a fair bit of information if Elias is trading Cowser/Kjerstad for pitching...looking like he isn't.

      I think you can argue he’s the best talent ever because of his ability to pitch. As an offensive player, he’s not the best player right now.

      Age, body type, how he plays(strengths/weaknesses) and what we have depth at, in terms of high end talent, coming up behind him. And yes, we should be out on most key FAs because they are largely terrible investments.

      Who is going to end up the best career catcher? Wieters or Rutschmann.

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      I'd say that overall his defense has also been down this year.

      Your point is entirely valid. Just because Tony is better than Trumbo was means nothing, because Trumbo was a catastrophe. It was just beyond comprehension that they kept putting him in the field. That said, Santander is still ok. Diminished range, but a good glove and arm. However, they avoided the problem with Nelson Cruz in Seattle and Minnesota by just putting him designated hitter, so that’s a possibility for Santander, if he can maintain solid contact. But not here. Let’s take the pick and use it on pitching, please.
