I read it as they are not sure McCann is 100% healthy.

Which, if true, should lead to McCann having a rehab stint.

Is this a respect the vet thing?

McCann had a rehab stint.  Two games with Aberdeen.

Stowers has been sitting because the other outfielders need the playing time.   Stowers will go to AAA, get his bat going and be back with he O's as needed. The O's have more players that deserve

Defense.  He’s better at dropping routine fly balls with two outs in the 9th.

Some of you guys are gonna have to get over the emotional attachments to some of these guys when they don’t get enough at bats, are blocked by someone in the majors, get traded before they have a chan

Having Stowers on the roster to sit on the bench makes no sense. He needs ABs.

McKenna and Benboom don’t need at bats. If they sit on the bench 5/6 days it’s fine. My guess is Benboom gets sent through waivers though as soon as the Oakland series is over, and they want another left handed bat. 
 

Since they seem to want a left handed first basemen, and they don’t trust stowers to play of, I wonder if he gets 1b work at Norfolk

Why wouldn’t they have done that in the off-season or in spring training?

More likely, you’ll see Lester or O’Hearn get the next call.

Why?

Other than to soothe his ego why?

I know folks here have this weird Mountcastle bias thing going on but why?

Also, this is Bemboom's BBref page.

He doesn't need to be on the roster.

Not disagreeing but Hyde has mentioned him at first base

What happens in 4 days? 

They face a right handed starting pitcher. The next 4 games are all being started by lefties, which is why having a third catcher on the roster makes some small amount of sense for a few games.

Remember when people said there was no way they were going to play McCann 60-80 games and that wasn’t the actual plan?  
 

It’s clear by this move and justification for it that they are absolutely fine with that plan. 
 

So stupid.

How so?   This move says nothing about McCanns playing time.  Bemboom is the emergency 3rd catcher.  It says more about using Rutschman at DH and 1B.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      I don’t think this matters. I think you get value where you can. The Rays have been willing trade partners in the past when it was clear they weren’t contending. Right now they are 4 games out of the last slot but have like 5 teams above them. Can they get it? Sure but it’s not that likely and in the past they’ve been realistic in their down type seasons.

      I think Norby is going to be a very good MLB offensive player. I’m ok trading him but not for 1/2 season rental types.

      6-man rotation is officially happening

      Yeah I think they need to staggar the lefties in the rotation order. R-R-L-R-L like that.

      Trading Mayo Kjerstad and Povich for one guy to become a relief pitcher is nuts.

      We don't need starting pitchers. We need Relief Pitchers. We don't need average Relief Pitchers, we need consistent high leverage/high K Relief Pitchers.

      Os claim Levi Stoudt

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      If you feel comfortable putting Aiken and Baker (or even Tate) in during an elimination series, that's your prerogative. But I do not. Too inconsistent, which is the same reason why Mike Baumann pitched himself off the active roster. when spot was needed for returning starters off the IL. Currently Coulombe is on IL so we can't even count on one of our best. Cano has regressed from last season. We've also witnessed last season how Webb broke down from over use and was ineffective in the playoff series against Texas. Perez goes in streaks of either really good or concernedly bad (he loses his command). Akin's problem is he leaves the ball over the heart of the plate and he doesn't have good enough stuff to get away with it. They're meatballs. We might get some good times from Baker now that he's up, but I would only expect a month or 2 at best from him before he returns to old habits. And Suarez is a starter who wants to be a starter. Who knows if he will go back to the bullpen? He'll have to go deeper into games if he wants to stay in the rotation, otherwise, I think he should be in the bullpen. But that's not what he is right now in this moment. He's a starter with a ERA in the 1s.
