I was saying in theory. One or more of those could happen and I was asking if that would be indeed true if it were to play out that way. I would imagine the odds of all 4 things happening would be astronomical. Also, I just see a year of service time and not they have to be on the roster from day one. I would imagine we won’t know the entire details until after this year and see what happens for the awarded draft picks unless someone has the complete language.

Fake. Gunnar is way too young to rent a car.

Yeah I would not be surprised if we did a day or two cushion. Considering if we have to play a tie breaker game 163(is that a thing?). I’d guess Gunnar is on the “taxi squad” with the team at the moment, and will be added to the roster tomorrow, or Thursday. Either way, his days in the minors are done. 

Tiebreaker games no longer exist.   

I suppose rainout makeups on Thursday, Oct 6 could still occur.

I don't believe there is a taxi squad for home games.   Nothing stopping him from being in Baltimore in anunofficial capacity, of course.

It feels a little late at this point in the day to announce it.  It does feel like it still happens this week though.

I like the fact that he has to stay under 130 at bats, rather than 130 plate appearances.  

The more he walks, the more he can play!

Welp, not today. Lineup is out.

Every time I start to get encouraged by management's moves they pull the rug out. What possible reason do they not call Henderson up today?

Today was being rumored because Gunnar can get called up and not accrue enough service time to qualify as a rookie this season. I think it's going to happen, but it will be later this week or the front office will wait until August 31st for the postseason eligibility cutoff.

So he doesn't have to face Dylan Cease in his ML debut, probably.

Why wouldn't they want to maximize LH bats vs him?

[Moose Milligan]

Not that we'd ever know, but if they're avoiding this just so he doesn't have to face Cease, that's dumb.  I mean, really, he's the #1 prospect in the minors, why hold him back from facing elite talent at the ML level?  And if we want a shot at winning the game tonite, he's a better option than Nevin or Odor...which is the whole reason to bring him up in the first place.

I still think there's a chance that he doesn't come up this year and if he does, it's after Sept 1st.  But not having him in the lineup tonite is stupid.  You protect him against Cease, okay, so what?  He's going to have to play against the Astros this weekend, are you going to protect him from the Astros, too?

[RVAOsFan]

I think the thought process that the season could get extended by a day or two due to weather does make some sense.  I can understand why they may error on the side of caution here.  The question is, has he been spotted with the Tides in Jacksonville?
