I'd not heard that.  Guess we'll find out next week when we start egging the place.

Their programming schedule is poker tournaments and baseball. It would make too much sense to partner with Fox Sports channel to get some real programming content, but that might eat into the profits

I just did a quick search and there's no recent news or update on Heston. I feel bad for him as he's already 23 and hasn't taken the field yet.

Hopefully Mountcastle will be good to go soon. I'm not sure what his injury was.

Pierto should probably go to Norfolk because he does have professional experience. I don't know if there's room for him there though.

Kjerstad we're still a couple few weeks away from the midpoint of the original 8-12 week prognosis.    Anything this month would be "Cool, Cesar Prieto is already back" kind of stuff.

There I think I'm on Team DH only until he shows he can get a few doubles under his belt without hurting himself.   Presuming he can hit doubles off pro pitchers.

Re: #1, that would leave the team without a bench shortstop (unless Urias is sitting in favor of Nevin at 3B, which isn't likely). So sadly, I don't think a Mountcastle activation will result in an Owings DFA. More likely, an extra pitcher like Gillaspie will be optioned. 

Agree with all the other ones. Too early for Kjerstad still though.

There 100% is room for him there. Grenier is not the type of player to be blocking anyone. He and Martin should not be blockers for Pierto or Henderson. I, however, don't expect the Orioles to skip AA with Pierto even if they probably should. Ideally, I'd like to see both in AAA and Martin in the majors over Owings.

What do you consider “recent?”   From Roch on May 9:

The only update I can get is that he’s “doing well,” but not playing in extended spring training games. He’s taking live at-bats, doing fielding drills. Working on a running progression. The normal buildup from a hamstring injury. There’s no available timetable for his professional debut. Hopefully sometime soon.

I didn't even find that. Good info, maybe he's on track according to the initial timeline.

I don't expect Adley up this weekend...well, because I'm conditioned to disappointment as well as this regime taking for****ingever on things but if he's not up here by this time next week, @Frobbyand I are going to go egg the warehouse.  

My spine surgeon’s office is on the 5th floor. Just keep the eggs below that.

Breaking windows, not spines man.  You'll be ok.

Aren't the first 3 levels bullet proof glass or something for all the HRs that were expected to be launched off the warehouse during the Steroid era?

      Hm, seems like perfect situation for Akin as an opener, maybe game 3 if necessary?

      Another possibility: If you win game 1, maybe you don't ptich Eflin in Game 2 and try to win Game 2 without using him.   I mean, worst that can happen is you lose and have Eflin for game 3 anyway.   So you won't lose the wild card series without pitching your two best. But you COULD win the wild card series without your two best, and then you would have Eflin and Burnes lined up for games 1 and 2 in Cleveland

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      I like Law a lot, but that is a beyond asinine comment about not playing every day on a playoff team. You know how many playoff teams would slot him in the lineup immediately every game? Answer: the large majority. The Yankees would take Cowser over Verdugo The Tigers might not put him in over Greene/Meadows/Carpenter, but they’d DH him over their options. Cowser would start over every outfielder for the Royals, IMHO. He’d start over Meyers and Dubon for the Astros. The Guardians would probably start him over anybody not named Kwan in the OF, tbh.  I can keep going.

      Even more of a reason to like FG over BBref,  tbh. Thanks, didn’t realize they switched this year. My point re: FIP is that I rather prefer it over RA/9, not to say it’s perfect. RA/9 treats all runs allowed by a pitcher the same regardless of them being earned or unearned. So, a pitcher on a team with a terrible defense is going to be judged much more harshly than somebody that pitches on a top tier defense. Not to mention the bullpen taking over mid inning dilemma. The funny thing is in your example re: FIP, RA/9 would have the first pitcher but love the second. Either way, these stats, like nearly all single solitary stats, aren’t best taken alone.  For your example, let’s say Pitcher A allowed weak contact and the defenders just had poor range, poor arms, whatever, but in the second example the defenders had great range and great arms making amazing plays to prevent any damage…then what?  Anyways, give me FIP over RA/9 was my point. But if you want to truly assess a pitcher, you’re going to need a few complimentary stats to go along with it.

      Really zooming the microscope in on one game with Tarik Skubal, would you consider batting Austin Slater 3rd or 4th to basically pinch hit in the 1st inning, and then replace him in LF with Cowser in the top of the 2nd inning. A tactic that might look good to the SIGBOT but could freak out actual ballplayers.

      It would make sense. I think there are four possibilities for not announcing Eflin yet: 1. It’s going to be Eflin, we’re just waiting to announce to make it harder for Tigers/Royals to prepare. 2. Hyde and FO are discussing whether to slot Eflin for game 3 to possibly save him for ALDS game 1. 3. Hyde and FO are discussing a possible opener strategy for game 2. 4. Eflin has some minor aches/pains/soreness so we’re delaying the announcement to make sure he will be healthy enough.
