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.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
