I think the whole Bautista / Omar thing is more about inspiring a feeling, the ominous feeling you get when Omar is about to do his thing juxtaposed to Felix coming out of the pen to dominate the opposition. I think the metaphor breaks down when you take it too literally and start interpreting it the way you do and stretch it that much. Felix when he is on is a dominant closer. But he is not actually going to kill anybody. They played Hell's Bells when Trevor Hoffman came out of the pen, but [as far as I know] they didn't actually perform any ritual Satanic sacrifices or draw pentagrams in blood. -
It's a tough question because Irvin's recent performance has been horrible, so he is the starter most deserving of losing his spot. But Suarez, IMO, could be a really effective reliever, moreso than Irvin, and i would love to see him get the opportunity to prove that. There's an argument to be made either way.

Looking at Kremer's rehab starts results haven't exactly filled me with a sense of relief that he will be starting O's games again soon. Any eye witnesses to make me think otherwise? -

I always felt that if they are going to recall The Wire and Omar's whistle, why don't they hire some folks to drop black plastic trash bags out of the warehouse windows like the people Omar was about to rob did? They just surrendered their stash without a fight because they knew "Omar don't play." -
A lot of players who are not available now will be available closer to the deadline when the calculus about their team's postseason chances has changed enough. That will be true regardless of whether or not Holliday is on the table. -

A #3 type starter (or better) would be the ideal pickup for me. I like Dean Kremer, but I'd prefer him to be #4 starter in the rotation come postseason. -

Aberdeen is definitely a pitcher's park. Many have suggested there's something with the batter's eye that's extremely punitive. This is from 2019 and earlier, but has the park factor at Aberdeen being at best neutral and mostly negative: https://billpetti.github.io/minor_league_park_factors/
