Some might argue Stowers.

How? The only benefit of holding him down now (or for the last several weeks) is if he’s down until late April. I want him up. But he’s not down for service time reasons.

Maybe they will drag him until late April. We have Mullins, Santander, Hays, McKenna, Vavra, and Phillips if they want. I’m not saying they should but it is possible.

Take this for however little you think it is worth.   On the techsideline.com subscribers (pay) message board, a site that is basically the OriolesHangout of Virginia Tech sports, a guy made a post called "Hey Orioles Fans..." with the following text:

Sat next to D.L. Hall on plane from Rochester to ATL. He's headed to Tampa to start for O's tomorrow night against Tampa.

I am wondering if they may run out a 6 man rotation for the rest of the season.

Might be a 3-4 inning stint. Keep him comfortable in his starting routine. Watkins pitch after him. Then 5 days later Watkins starts and DL gets the next day. 

Hoping they let Adley, whom he's comfortable with, catch a day after night game. He'll get 48 hours rest with Chirinos catching Sunday.

Can't wait to watch on Gameday lol

And Lyles Sunday as I correctly predicted earlier.

I wonder if we do go with a 6 man rotation for now. Or someone gets moved to BP to help take some of the load off.

So who gets sent down or DFAed?

My preference is Nevin or does it have to be a pitcher because of MLB rules on number of pitchers that can be on the 26 man roster.

Lou Head.  I said around the 7th that whoever pitched the 9th would be the one who got sent down.

You couldn't tell in the message board, but I said it in my Vito Corleone voice when he told Michael that whoever came up to him at the funeral with a deal from the Barzini's was the traitor.

Lou Head = Abe Vigoda

    • 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.
