They also were trying to change Cowser’s approach.  
 

I didn’t say he didn’t deserve it.  You are the one getting all upset because someone said Cowser deserves it more. He does.  He’s been better at the same level.  He’s also younger and a much more likely part of the future of the team.  
 

But sure, Ortiz and Cowser should go to AAA, Stowers and Henderson to the majors.  

Upset?  Funny.  Just saying they are both on fire the last 30 games and Ortiz has matched Cowser every step of the way over those 30 games.

Benscome to Aberdeen.  Ortiz and Cowser to AAA.  Henderson and Stowers to the majors.  Would be ok with Westburg to the majors too.

I doubt all of these happen but they need to.

If they do promote Henderson this year, I'd be very surprised if they did it before the 45 day cut off.

Exactly. At this point it would be FO malpractice to promote him 9 days before he’d still qualify for rookie status next year.

Probably not, but I do feel like we are hurting our playoff chances by continuing to have Nevin on the roster when Henderson is the far superior player.

Nevin plays once in a blue moon. But our bench does stink. I'm hoping to see Stowers to Baltimore, Ortiz to Norfolk, Benscome to Frederick. Westburg to start getting some playing time in the OF at Norfolk

    • I imagine the goal is to get him available to just give them anything out of the pen in the wild card round. Depending on how that goes and if the O’s can advance who knows. 
    • The interesting thing about 1B is Mayo.     Elias keeps pushing Mayo at 3B.   But if Westburg is healthy he is better at 3B.   And they don't seem to play Mayo has much as they could at 1B where he might have a better chance at a regular job.    DH might be his best position. If Santander leaves, then Kjerstad probably gets an every day spot at RF.   Elias might want to see Kjerstad hit well in RF before he hands over 2B to Holliday.   Too many struggling rookies at the same time is not good for wins.   Mayo is  behind Kjerstad and Holliday IMO in getting a lot of playing time. However, developing Kjerstad, Holliday and Mayo  are key parts of the O's future no  matter how Elias develops them.
    • Walker is definitely an upgrade over Mountcastle.  Walker has cleared an .800 OPS the past three seasons.  Mountcastle has only done it once -- his rookie year.  Plus Mountcastle hasn't even cleared 20 homers since 2022.  Mountcastle is good in a platoon, used against lefties, but otherwise he's fallen off. Walker is 33, which is a bit of a risk, but which makes me think he could be had on a short term deal.  That said I think the O's will have competition for Walker.  He's one of the most underrated bats in the league.   If the O's think Kjerstad can play 1B then I think they should maybe go with him and look for a new RF (unless they bring back Santander, which seems more unlikely now).  But I don't know about Kjerstad's glove there. Mayo's glove at 1B may be even more questionable than Kjerstad's.  Plus Mayo just hasn't shown he's ready with his bat yet.  I'm against assuming guys will figure out how to hit MLB pitching within a presumed timeframe.  Mayo hasn't shown he's there yet.  Let him work his way into the lineup rather than giving him a starting job.  But with him there's also the issue of where his defense plays best, or if it plays anywhere.
    • So either Grayson won’t face hitters this year (ie he’s done for the year) or he’s in the pen.
    • I feel better after getting a W against the Giants; somewhere along the way I had stated I felt we almost had to get at least one from them, and now we have.  However, lets not act like this one win means the offense has broken its slump and we're suddenly going to start rolling.  I hope we do, but we're one bad game away from feeling like we'll never score a run again.  If we go down 3-0 or something early tonight, it will be hard to resist the doomsday feeling - we're just as likely to get one-hit or something stupid like that tonight as we are to score 5 or 6 runs.  Its a tough schedule to finish the season, tougher than maybe we would have thought with Detroit playing so well.  Still not counting my chickens but yeah that W yesterday changed the calculus a good bit in our favor.
    • Update: As expected, the corresponding move for Coulombe is Burch Smith, but he's going on the IL instead of being DFA'd. Right adductor/groin strain.
