I hope Nevin isn’t part of the youth movement.  I want good players for that.

He deserved the chance by earning it, I like that. Let’s give him some time & see what he does. Def not blown away by any Elias trades so far though. Bradish best trade? Liked Mateo waiver claim. Pedro. Santander/ Wells picks. He needs to be evaluating existing prospects and the ones they feel won’t make it, trade for assets. That’s what good orgs do, no?

Nevin is hardly an inspiring call up.  However, I have no problem with him getting at bats over the guys that are currently here and not producing.

If he can play average defense at 3B, I think he should be given every chance to stay there. Now of course Gunnar and Westburg are better prospects, but they aren't ready yet. Nevin is. I think he has some potential. We'll see.

Nevin has a AAA OPS of .737 and in AA he was .744.    I don’t see much potential there.   I’d be happy for him to prove me wrong.

I see that, but Nevin also has mlb bloodlines which Yas has shown can transform a poor prospect into a good one at a late age. Phil Nevin was the #1 overall pick in 1994 and had a long career. Its not impossible that he could improve into a good player.

Obviously the pro performances in their early 20's they have differentiated from each other, but regular plug that in their draft class, Tyler Nevin 5.29.1997 and Ryan Mountcastle 2.18.1997 were approximately the same guy.

Except that Nevin was a few months younger and got 50% more in Bonus.

Santander not in the lineup Roch said not sure hurt or rest day 

There have been lots of times this season when, in a close game, the Orioles had RISP and one of their crappy hitters coming up, and I looked at the bench for a possible pinch hitter to find the cupboard familiarly bare. (Kind of like when you look in the refrigerator for something to eat or drink, don't see anything appealing, but look again an hour later even though you know nothing better will have shown up in the interim.)

I wonder whether Hyde's desire to have a more capable pinch hitter on the bench is partly responsible for the starter days off we're seeing.

    • Cowser’s  swing decisions are determined before the pitch is even thrown. And I’ve been saying this all year, and I even said this at the game. I go it’s too early to pinch it for him because his defense is too good but he is 100% going to strike out and that’s exactly what he did with bases loaded. He decides whether he is going to swing a pitch before even thrown This is why he swings at a thrown pretty close to his face . And To be fair,he  had a pretty good season doing that but obviously can be  easily exploited
    • Cowser's progress was one of the more encouraging elements this season, especially on the defensive side. I was already crediting him with being Some Kind of Good major leaguer a post back. Between his and Adley's standout bad performances on the HBP and 2-0 count, I give Cowser more of a grace.     Sure he had predetermined intent to swing, but I think the follow through was some raw instinct as hand bones fractured. Adley not swinging was the lowlight how incapacitated he was.    I believe he commands the strike zone, but to feel so low you can't pull the trigger in that spot...sheesh.
    • I believe Elias plans to bring in two more SP's, the quality isnt what im sure about. But no question he'll want to replace Burnes. Which is why I didnt comment in this thread yet because Povich might not have a spot open at the beginning of the year. 
    • So a “Pollyanna” then like me, @wildcard and others (joking of course) 😇 I’m in your camp but really wonder if Elias/Hyde and Co. can truly“flip the script” as @Just Regular alludes.
    • So thats because the extra space in the OF allows for more balls to fall in? If so, I don't really see an issue if its providing offense in a different way. 
    • I'm neutral on it. I don't like how the old dimensions played like a wiffle ball field. Both teams have to play on it and the O's do have two good OF's so in that sense it helps us. RHH will probably hate it so very few would ever sign in Baltimore unless they thought the O's were in World Series contention. If they put it in the middle ground then the dimensions become like every other park and Im not sure I want that. At least Camden Yards plays different. 
    • I agree with this.  It was a completely idiotic take to criticize the fans.  And Russo on MLB Network did as well.  Did those guys watch this team at all this year? They were under .500 for the last 88 games of the season.....the worst team in the AL East.  These were the home series they played over the last three months: Chicago Cubs (swept and outscored 21-2), Yankees (lost 2 of 3 and needed two Yankee errors to walk off the last one), San Diego (lost 2 of 3), Toronto (won 3 of 4), Washington (split 1 of 2), Boston (split 2 of 4), Houston (split 2 of 4), White Sox (won 2 of 3 but lost last one 8-1), Tampa (lost 2 of 3), San Fran (lost 2 of 3), Detroit (lost 2 of 3). What is that, 15 - 20 in their last 35 home games?  And then they top it off by losing to the Royals 1 - 0 in the first game?  So fans are supposed to be excited and encouraged by that stretch of baseball?   You want people to show up to games, play like the Padres. Don't have your prized prospects go bust, don't have your stars fall off a cliff, and learn how to play fundamental baseball instead of obsessing about each swing's potential exit velocity.
