Yes, I think we can all see the writing on the wall here. The related next step is obvious: Gunnar down to Bowie to get some reps in CF. None available in Norfolk with Phillips there. This is wha

The fact that Henderson is still not up and someone like Nevin sent down is pure malpractice by this FO. No one is saying he would SOLVE the offensive problems but he certainly wouldn't hurt at this point. I see no logical reasons why he's not up yet. What else does he have to do? He'd be an instant upgrade over Nevin and possibly Odor.

It's absurd.  There is zero rationale/logic behind it.

O's just came out, no Henderson. Urias batting 4th playing 3rd.

LOL.  Cause heaven forbid they call up their best prospect, who has been mashing at AAA all year, when their offense is down and they're in a pennant race.

Mind boggling.

You're comparing not bringing up a 21 year old kid with a month to go in the season, to not pitching our all-star closer having an almost historic year in an elimination game?  That's laughable.  Gunnar is not some cure-all to the current offensive woes.  I want to see him too but sorry, acting like this is some completely indefensible decision is over the top.

It's not as awful as not pitching Britton, sure.  But it's still indefensible.  Just because Buck failed to use Britton doesn't make this head scratcher more sensible.

They have until tomorrow to call him up, right?  

Couldn't be also be added after Sept 1 in the event of an injury? Or is that incorrect? 

i think he just has to be added to the 40 man to be available for postseason

He can be added after Sept 1, he just wouldn't be eligible for the playoff roster. Many players come up after Sept 1 when rosters expand.

Its never been more than pure speculation that he was coming up.  Anyone disappointed has only themselves to blame, Elias has all but told us this wasn't happening.  Not literally mind you, but he certainly hasn't indicated to the contrary.

 

I'm ready to root for the team that's on the field and stop worrying about who's NOT here.

We're not allowed to be disappointed if a GM makes decisions that we're unhappy with?

I know I've been complaining about the complaining about the Gunnar Henderson situation, but it's a bit perplexing.  

I get it if they want to keep him under 130 at bats, that's fine, so wait a day or two after the imaginary date, whathaveyou, etc.  That was last week.

It doesn't seem like they're going to call him up now, yesterday would have been the perfect day to do it.  If they call him up between now and 9/1, well, I'm not sure what the strategy of waiting until the last minute is but whatever, at least he'd be up.

But it's looking like you guys might have to settle in for another month of Odor/Nevin.  I saw somewhere on here that Elias said that the callups would be one pitcher and one hitter, but that doesn't automatically mean the hitter is Henderson.

The funny thing about Nevin is... he NEVER plays.  There is literally no reason for him to be on the roster now, let alone for the bulk of the season.

Comparing it to one of the worst in-game tactical decisions any of us has ever seen is a little more than 'we're unhappy with'.  That was my point.  Additionally I just feel like the topic is old.  He'll be here when he gets here, time to move on and root for what has been a very fun team to watch instead of constantly moaning and groaning about Gunnar not being here.

That's true.  He last played August 21st which looks like he came in the 9th as a defensive replacement if I'm reading this correctly.  He only played in August 6 times overall.  I don't understand why he's here if he's not playing.

I think I saw somewhere that league rules mandate that is HAS to be one pitcher and one hitter, but I could be wrong about that.  Like there are still restrictions on how many of the then-28 man roster can be pitchers.

      Will he get 1 PA in the ALWC series? To put flesh on the bones, say against Lucas Erceg on for a Save at James McCann's spot in the lineup. He is behind all of O'Hearn, Mountcastle and Kjerstad probably on the depth chart, but if you get Ragans out by the 5th or 6th they could all be used before the endgame.

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

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      The race is close enough that the run environment should be a factor. In the steroid era or bouncy ball 2019, 15 W/3.50 ERA might be a much better performance than a .242 AVG/24 HR/good defense. Which is more impressive in light-hitting 2024? The whole league hit .243 this year, tied with 2022 as the lowest since... 1968.  I'd probably vote for Gil but I kinda feel like Cowser will win it in a close race. And I'm not sure NY bias is a thing in awards voting anymore with the more online media landscape and more stat-educated voters. When's the last time a NY player won an end of season award they didn't deserve?

      All of what you posted is why you have to take both dWAR and fWAR with a grain of salt when it comes to valuing defense.  OAA strictly gives you how good a player is at his position vs other players at his position. There is no guessing involved. Now could OAA receive some tweaking, especially with infielders, I think so. I don't think OAA is perfect by any means, but let's say Santana did save his team 12 runs and let's say a SS was at 0 runs saved. Why should he be penalized for playing a less stressful position? In the end he did save runs vs a SS that didn't save or lose runs. I guess in the end you look at all the defensive metrics (OAA, dWAR, DRS) and then make your opinion based off them. I also use my scouting eye and watching most of the games, I'd say Cowser is an above average defensive outfielder with plus arm strength and way below average accuracy.

      A well-kept secret: the O’s rotation has the 6th best ERA in baseball

      Burnes and Eflin were fantastic keeping the team moving forward in a year Felix, Bradish and Grayson were mostly gone. It is fuzzy for me if you combine Elias' team's results in the cases of Albert Suarez and Trevor Rogers if that's a good job or a bad job. Some talk about people like Pivetta, but I don't see a ton of April/May/June demand.     Eflin, Grayson, Kremer, Povich and Suarez leave Rogers, McDermott and Young 6/7/8 already.    Are those guys ever going to pitch? Povich and Suarez showed enough in September it seems worth it to see April. We rarely see a decision Elias doesn't like to defer, and the first half of 2025 will give information how the roster needs to be managed.    How strong is Felix?    What setbacks do Bradish and Wells have?    Can Grayson hold up more than 2 straight months? Elias is building a body of work he'll win the bids for Corbin Burnes and Zach Eflin when necessary, but I don't think this winter is one of those times.

      OAA and dWAR are two measure that people use to determine if a player is a good defensive player or not. They absolutely can be mentioned when talking defense. They both measure the defensive ability of a player, though they do it differently. Acting like it some kind of horror to mention them together is one of the more ridiculous stances I've ever seen you take here.  NOBODY said they measure the exact same thing and the EXACT same way, but they absolutely are two measures people use to determine if a player is good defensively.  OAA shows Cowser to be a well above average defensive outfielder while dWAR shows Cowser to be more average. I think OAA in this case absolutely is a better indicator of Cowser's defensive ability.
