Regarding Lester, shouldn't he still have options?  He started in pro ball in 2015, but he didn't get called up to the big leagues until last year, when the Tigers gave him his debut. 

So surely he's only used one option?  If so, we don't need to DFA him when we send him back down.

I think the real issue is do you want him taking up a slot on the 40 man?

I actually wrote out a moderately long post last night about how Lester (and Diaz too) were performing in AAA and how Mountcastle should look over his shoulder. I decided not to post it because I thou

I'm guessing it's for Father's Day. Dude looks like a 40 year old father of four.     6'3" 180 pounds eh....? I will say big props for making to the majors as a 13th roun

Basically Elias saying he can pass this guy through waivers later. He has been hitting in AAA though

Lester has options. If there is a reason maybe it is wanting to keep everyone other than Lester available? If we lose him for 10 days no big deal. We don't need a reliever today so he can go back down after the game.

Here is a guess:   Kjerstad is being promoted to AAA on Monday.  Taking Lester's spot.   So they promote Lester to the majors as a reward.   Even if it will not last long.

Just a guess.

Just saw Cowser is back with the Tides.

If he was on the 40 man roster any of the years prior to 2022, and spent the entire season in the minors, then he used an option that year too.

I would not be surprised to see Mountcastle sit tomorrow. 

I agree. Last night Hyde said he gave Mountcastle the night off because he's been "scuffling." So he didn't describe it as just a regular night off.

Doubtful we see Tate this year. 

Right flexor forearm strains that need to be shut back down typical end up seeing a surgeon for TJ surgery. It may be surprising to see him next year if they don't go ahead and get it over with.

As someone who likes Tate alot, this is depressing to think about. I guess I'm going to have to go back to 2022 and watch some of his highlights or the game that I still have recorded in order to see him play. Because I'm also getting the same feeling as you guys... I'm not sure we will get to see him play (and at a competitive level) this season.

They still need to save a spot for Hudson Haskin to return from his Bowie rehab assignment. But I don't think it matters because there doesn't seem to be roster limitations in the minor leagues like there are in the Major League Active Roster and Secondary (40 Man) Roster. I could be wrong though.

This makes sense and I’d be curious to know why that wasn’t done this past offseason. 
 

I’m assuming that they thought rehab was a good way to go but that seems to have backfired. Go ahead and get it over with, I agree.

But isn't Lester a 3B and Diaz is the 1B? Unless 2 of Gunnar or Urias and Ortiz are not available this doesn't add up.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.

      Nail hit on head. It really comes down to the offense in the playoffs for us. I think our pitching is good enough overall especially the starters. Shaky sometimes sure, but they can hold their own most of the time. If we don't bring our "A" hitting game in the playoffs we won't go far.

      The bullpen has warts for sure, but if this offense doesn't figure out how to hit good pitching in the playoffs, the bullpen won't matter. Even I got a little excited when they put 5 and 9 up on the board Tues and Wed, and then it crashed back to reality last night when I remembered they were facing Schmidt and Stroman. When facing a real ace like Cole they were completely shut down. What's gonna happen next week when they face Skubal, Reagins, and/or Lugo? The mediocre bullpen won't matter if they can't figure out how to score some runs off pitchers like that...

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      Why carry four 1 inning guys over a LH long option? Cionel stinks and should not be on the roster over Povich when you still have Akin, Coulombe and Soto.

      By RavensNOsGuy · Posted

      Really would be nice to win tonight OR have DET lose so then they can play around Sat/Sun when the games would have no bearing on the seeding. Dont want this to come down to Sunday and having to win to get the 4 seed or then there will be some tough decisions that have to be made.
