Back in the lineup at 1B this morning.

Creed goes boom in the 7th for his 3rd homer, a 2 run shot.

I did not see this coming but I expected much better numbers from him this year.   Again, we are talking about a kid who was 18 at this time last year, had barely played in the FCL, and was making pro

Creed II.   Back in 2021 a 19 yo Gunnar Henderson had a June birthday and was promoted to Aberdeen before he turned 20.  He had a .944 OPS with 14 walks and 46 strikeouts.  Creed, who turns 20 in June, after his 17th game tonight has a 1.245 with 9 walks and 14 strikeouts.  In 9 games at catcher he’s caught 9 of 20 base runners.   Could we potentially have two top 100 catchers in our system?

You've got to make the show to really earn a nickname, but I think Clubber has some upside for this one.

Clubber Creed?  We just need someone named Apollo Drago on the team and we'd be set.

He is 4 for his last 22 with 3 of those hits coming in one game.

At this point, I think it’s fine to call him up but I could see them giving him more time to see if this is just a SSS type slump or if he is actually about to go into a longer drought.

I'd rather promote him until he hits a league where he's not OPSing 1.1+, and then leave him there until he figures it out or requires his prospect status be re-evaluated.

 

I don't think he should be fast-tracked to like AA the way it appears Holliday might.  Whatever league he settles in at (probably Aberdeen) unless he's OPSing a really big number I'm definitely fine with letting him get seasoned even if he's playing well.   But he should definitely be in a league where he's being consistently challenged as a hitter.  His walk rate is starting to approach levels where it's clear he's not going to be IMO, at least not in Delmarva.  After drawing 8 in 62 PAs in April, he's drawn 4 in 24 in May.

      Welcome.  Hard to hear and it goes fast but I think I got it for the most part.

      Great job @Ripken with the on the fly transcribing. I think "Jacob" gets the open-ended question award - at least that was the only one in the part I got to hear where Elias chose to name the individual questioner in his answer.     I assume that's Jacob Calvin Meyer. Question was like "When FA opens November 5th, if things go according to plan, will the payroll be higher next year?" Elias used his aplomb to say some stuff about the uncomfortability of "dancing for Jacob", but got to "Yeah".    Then added word salad "upward slope".

      Rivera performed way above his normal level. I'm sure there's other examples, I was sticking with the Yankees in the example. Your body functions and works differently when it is and isn't under the influence of an adrenaline rush to the point that I would say you're in an altered state where the way your body works and reacts changes and you have to get it under control and adapt to it. Failure to do so means you end up shaking like a leaf and almost lose your motor control. Being able to manage it adequately means you can function pretty much the same as you do any other time and for some people, it takes them to a whole other level. I've experienced all of these personally though not in the circumstances of a professional athlete trying to perform in front of thousands of people as I'm sure many people here could also say. Adrenaline is powerful stuff and is also released with cortisol. They are stress hormones. I think I would define "clutch" as your ability to perform while in the midst of such a state. It's a whole different ballgame pardon the pun. Perhaps it's odd, but that's how I see it basically. I'm used to being odd, so I feel right at home. 😎

      Adley shares tough health admission

      Yep.  Just total bs. If he can’t handle that, which is less than previous years, we have a real problem.

      Jorge Mateo 2024

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      Completely agree on Mateo and his value overall. Hopefully people remember this next season when the inevitable calls for him to not make the roster out of ST, or to be DFA at some point, will be set to begin.    Same with Urias. The value of guys like this has always been clear to anyone who looks beyond one or two stats. Not saying they will hold that value interminably, but there should be a lesson here. There won’t be, but there should be.

      I absolutely love Rooker. If Oakland is open to trading him we should be all over it.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      By Ohfan67 · Posted

      The Orioles handling of players like Mayo is very frustrating. It was pretty clear that his future was not at 3B and yet they played him very little at 1B. They keep doing this with prospects and it is really stupid. Mayo should already be an experienced first baseman.
