I’m going to ST games on March 9 (Clearwater), 10 and 12.   I think Holliday and maybe Kjerstad will be in MiL camp by then.   I’m really hoping to see Westburg, Cowser, Norby, Grayson and Ortiz while

I think 30 is a bit higher # than we normally have for non-roster invitees.   There will be 70 guys in camp by Feb 23!   Of course we have at least 4 guys leaving for the WBC the first week of March, and Vespi is probably sidelined for most of camp.

I think it was more like 26 in the past, and it's actually up to 31 now with the addition of Darwinzon Hernandez. So 71 players to start off!! Should be fun.

Do we legitimately think any of these guys could impress enough to crack the opening day roster?

Probably not and that's a good thing.  In years past it would seem that there would be a few spots wide open where you could see a NRI make it, just more evidence of a thin roster to begin with.

I don't see that this year unless there are injuries.

Got to imagine he will get at least 5-10 more AA starts at the very least in 2023.

At least.   He’s only pitched six AA games.  I’d say he’s on the Rom plan and will make 18+ starts in AA before they consider moving him up, unless he’s super-dominant.

The last bench spot will be a lefty who can backup at 1B... and probably on the NRI list, unless it's Vavra. The last bullpen spot is probably on the 40-man, but Hernandez will get a shot at it.

I can't wait for 3 games to be on MASN

At least we can count on some O's opponents to televise some of the O's ST games.  The March 9th & March 20th games will be televised by the Phillies.

We don’t have very many realistic SP options in our organization, so I hope we really let these guys develop and don’t rush them. 

I guess you mean in the minors.  There are 7-11 realistic starters on the O's major league roster.

When it comes to Holliday, Gunnar said he benefited from the camp he was at with big leaguers during the whole COVID thing. Jackson should be in camp as long as possible if he performs and is going to be up next year. 

If the past is prologue, he won’t be in camp that long.  Sometime during the first week of games he’ll be gone.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Good point, no other metropolitan area has more than one team.

      Could it be that they allowed the Gnats to reside within 30 minutes of their home. Effectively cutting their market in half?

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.
