How do we know he isn’t?  He’s a career .878 OPS guy in the minors who has hit at every level.   I’m not saying he will prove to be an above average major league player, but it wouldn’t shock me if he

Geehs!!!  The O's are 14-6 in July.  They just took the last two games from the Rays who are ahead of them in the standings.   They did that with the team that has been here and played together for a

Maybe it’s more about handling human beings.  Vavra was called up from Tides, who are in Memphis, late Monday.  His wife, who is 30 + weeks pregnant, was given permission to travel to Baltimore.  Vavr

i wouldn't read too much into the 77.  Tyler Wells is 68.  Isn't Bautista 74?  Granted they are pitchers, but the point is, Hyde isn't going to let a jersey number dictate how often he plays a guy.

Yeah, but both Bautista and Wells are built like Offensive Tackles, so those numbers fit well. Vavra is a WR.

Arauz broken finger, and Vavra still only gets 77....is Richie Martin coming back soon?

Good luck to him!    YTD looks like 2B only a small edge on CF in number of games started.

77 kind of says to me he isn't going to play much more than Arauz has the last few weeks, and we aren't messing with Odor's confidence before the trade deadline.    

 

Rene Gonzales hung around quite a while with 88.

Carlton Fisk took 72 with the White Sox because 27 was taken.

Zachary Silver said he wasn’t here yet so that’s probably why he’s not starting. 

Well that’ll do it 😂

Thinking about it, if they weren’t going to play him, I think they would have called up Martin (who is eligible)

Well, it could be because of the travel day.  The injury didn’t happen until the end of the game, and Norfolk is in Memphis tonight.  I am not saying that Vavra couldn’t have started tonight, but I can see why Hyde may want him to just get settled in.  Hopefully he’ll start tomorrow.

You probably don't want to bring up a LH hitter and have him make his major league debut vs a potential Cy Young winning lefty.   I hope he gets in the lineup tomorrow or Thursday.

I know people want to see every young player, but when you are 22-12 your last 34 games wholesale change isn't always the best idea.   Let's see if he can get about 3 games a week while he is on the roster.

Hopefully this is because he's travelling and they want him to breath and take in everything before throwing him into the lineup. I will not be happy if he's sitting the bench while Odor plays after tonight.

Vavra is a solid potential piece but he isn’t a guy that must play everyday.  If he can be up here and start 2-3 times a week and see some other pinch hitting/emergency duty, that may fine.

I'm gonna disagree.  If he can play a solid 2nd base, then let him start over Odor.  I know we've got the whole veteran vibe going on and the like, but Odor is really struggling with the bat.  Let's see what Vavra can do, and in more than just a few random starts/at bats.

They must not expect him to stay long giving him number 77. 

Aaron Judge wears 99.   Just ask the 10,000 Yankee fans who showed up wearing that jersey on Saturday.  Of course, most of those jerseys also had “Judge” printed on the back, though actual Yankee jerseys have no names on them.  

Three Orioles have worn 88, including Albert Belle.

Under Buck, at least, call-ups seldom played their first day up. He wanted them to get the feel of having arrived and ML-level ball, its particular energy first.

If you look at Odor's career stats, there's not a major difference in the LHP/RHP split of his OPS. This year he even has a significant reverse split: .737 OPS vs. LHP / .628 vs. RHP. Let him deal with McClanahan.

Verdugo is 99.

Aaron was 44, which in Japan, China, or Korea would have been a double-hex.

Agreed. I don't want to cut Odor, but he can take some more days off. He'll still be in the clubhouse.

Don’t get me wrong..I’m fine if he plays everyday.  What I’m saying is that he isn’t the type of guy that must play everyday to justify being here.

He’s not that level of a prospect/player.

Yep, he's a utility guy with a better offensive profile than Arauz or Richie Martin.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.

      Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role.

      O's target? Roki Sasaki

      It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.

      Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.

      I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.
