In most photos next to other players, he looks nothing like his listed 6’1 height. He’s probably 5’10-5’11 max. I do wonder why players exaggerate their size.

What percentage of drivers licenses height/weight would you guess are accurate?

Tinder profiles?

Why should players be any different?

Of course he needs to go to AA next, and I've said in previous threads that I don't see him in the big leagues this year due to several reasons, including 4 legitimate options ahead of him to play SS.

Still time to rally now that Jarlin Susana's done.     I see on base thrice and a SB with another PA to come against some low-A reliever.

Got on base 4 times tonight without getting the ball out of the infield.

Susana is quite impressive. He actually pitched instead of just throwing 100+ all night.

So I as at the game last night, and I was amazed at the plate discipline of Holliday.  I think he only swung at 3 or 4 pitches in his 5 at bats.  His called strikeout was on a questionable call.  You could tell he definitely didn't agree with the call.  Not much for him to do on defense but he did have to pick a few cutoffs and throws from the catcher that he does with ease and confidence.  Good base runner as he legged out an infield hit and stole second easily.  No doubt in my mind he is ready for a more advanced level.  Interesting note is that he and Basallo seemed to communicate about what the pitcher was like after Holliday's at bats.

Prediction time!  I think most would agree that Holliday is probably the leader in the "most likely prospect to get promoted first" category.  So what you got?

O's tend to do promotions on Mondays (which makes sense).  I'm going with May 8.  That would give him 2 more full weeks after this one.

Using the Gunnar measuring stick, he had 157 PAs in A ball before being promoted.  Jackson currently sits at 111 PAs.  Considering how strong he's played, I think 150 PAs is the ball park. 

4/24?!  5/8 would put him around the 150 marker.

The O’s promoted Westburg and Monday after 20 games in 2021, and Kjerstad after 22 games last year.  So, that would argue in favor of May 1. 

On the other hand, Holliday is younger than those guys.   When Gunnar was at Delmarva, despite very good numbers he was kept there 35 games, 2-3 weeks behind teammates Westburg and Mundy.  So that would suggest mid-May.

I’m going with the earlier date, for two reasons.   First, Gunnar already played 12 games at Delmarva last year.   Second, his OBP is just ridiculous and it’s obvious he needs more of a challenge.  

In the interview he gave to MLB Pipeline last week, Holliday was asked if there was an aspect of pro ball he found easier than expected.  He answered that it was easier to draw walks than he thought it would be.  He’s now at 28 walks in 23 games there between 2022 and 2023.   So yeah, I’d say he needs more of a challenge.

He should be spending Monday looking for a place to live in Aberdeen, although I wouldn't be surprised if they waited another week or two

Maybe he could light a spark in the Aberdeen offense.  No one else seems to be hitting there.

      Cowser’s  swing decisions are determined before the pitch is even thrown. And I’ve been saying this all year, and I even said this at the game. I go it’s too early to pinch it for him because his defense is too good but he is 100% going to strike out and that’s exactly what he did with bases loaded. He decides whether he is going to swing a pitch before even thrown This is why he swings at a thrown pretty close to his face . And To be fair,he  had a pretty good season doing that but obviously can be  easily exploited

      Cowser's progress was one of the more encouraging elements this season, especially on the defensive side. I was already crediting him with being Some Kind of Good major leaguer a post back. Between his and Adley's standout bad performances on the HBP and 2-0 count, I give Cowser more of a grace.     Sure he had predetermined intent to swing, but I think the follow through was some raw instinct as hand bones fractured. Adley not swinging was the lowlight how incapacitated he was.    I believe he commands the strike zone, but to feel so low you can't pull the trigger in that spot...sheesh.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      I believe Elias plans to bring in two more SP's, the quality isnt what im sure about. But no question he'll want to replace Burnes. Which is why I didnt comment in this thread yet because Povich might not have a spot open at the beginning of the year.

      Elias: It's on me

      By bobmc · Posted

      So a “Pollyanna” then like me, @wildcard and others (joking of course) 😇 I’m in your camp but really wonder if Elias/Hyde and Co. can truly“flip the script” as @Just Regular alludes.

      So thats because the extra space in the OF allows for more balls to fall in? If so, I don't really see an issue if its providing offense in a different way.

      I'm neutral on it. I don't like how the old dimensions played like a wiffle ball field. Both teams have to play on it and the O's do have two good OF's so in that sense it helps us. RHH will probably hate it so very few would ever sign in Baltimore unless they thought the O's were in World Series contention. If they put it in the middle ground then the dimensions become like every other park and Im not sure I want that. At least Camden Yards plays different.

      I agree with this.  It was a completely idiotic take to criticize the fans.  And Russo on MLB Network did as well.  Did those guys watch this team at all this year? They were under .500 for the last 88 games of the season.....the worst team in the AL East.  These were the home series they played over the last three months: Chicago Cubs (swept and outscored 21-2), Yankees (lost 2 of 3 and needed two Yankee errors to walk off the last one), San Diego (lost 2 of 3), Toronto (won 3 of 4), Washington (split 1 of 2), Boston (split 2 of 4), Houston (split 2 of 4), White Sox (won 2 of 3 but lost last one 8-1), Tampa (lost 2 of 3), San Fran (lost 2 of 3), Detroit (lost 2 of 3). What is that, 15 - 20 in their last 35 home games?  And then they top it off by losing to the Royals 1 - 0 in the first game?  So fans are supposed to be excited and encouraged by that stretch of baseball?   You want people to show up to games, play like the Padres. Don't have your prized prospects go bust, don't have your stars fall off a cliff, and learn how to play fundamental baseball instead of obsessing about each swing's potential exit velocity.
