Not suffering from vertigo helps.

Oh look! Here's a thread where SG made the same joke and not only did you not call him out, you made another joke in response.

Clearly your issue is with me personally and not what I said.

I think it was Tony that said Denoyer would be the next player off the island.   He said he had regressed.

Mounty may have had this coming on for a while and be the reason they promoted Lester.  Now they have OHearn and Lester at 1B.

Really wish someone in the media would push for better answers on the call up thing.A third catcher again is just stupid. 

I really don't get this organization. We lose a bat, and we replace it with... another third catcher.

You're right. This makes your comment so much better.

I took a shot at the owner.

I didn't make light of an illness or injury.

It's very likely that Kolosvary was already in the locker room on the taxi squad and they didn't have time to get another guy here before the game once they decided to IL Mounty. He's probably just here for the day and I'll go ahead and hope he's cut tomorrow for Westburg, Cowser, or Ortiz.

I mean who else would they replace him with? Something drastic must have changed for Mounty to go from doing “better” to being placed on the IL in a matter of a few hours. Norfolk had a 6:35pm game at home, there was no way they would be able to get a player up that quickly to fill the 26 man spot.

Expect a quick stay by Kolozsvary who will likely be DFA’d and pass through waivers. DFA’ing Denoyer opened a 40 man spot for Kolozsvary to come up quickly who must have been on the taxi squad with the team. Likely will see another move tomorrow, which will hopefully be one of the young prospects.

I think the "better" was spin.

It seems like they view the 26th roster spot as a place to rot and mainly use it for players they don't care about.

This is my hope as well.

Although tbf I'm not really sure if Westburg came up where he'd play, O'hearn has clearly earned playing time at this point, Frazier is playing well, maybe put Mateo on the bench

I severely doubt Westburg or Cowser gets here until the Orioles are committed to playing them at least most days. They have made it fairly clear they aren’t doing that, yet.

I think it’s pretty obvious Cowser & Westburg will not be up until the date that was decided well before the season started.  I don’t think an injury, great play, or any other occurrence is going to expedite their call up.   Not that I agree with what they are doing, but not gonna hold my breath and get bent out of shape that they aren’t here yet.

It would be significantly more difficult to stomach if they were struggling offensively, like they were a couple weeks ago.

    • Yea.  I feel the same way.  I really do not care strongly one way or another.  Sure, I think it's kind of ugly.  I also think HR's came pretty cheap before.  I like the exciting defensive plays it fosters and of course the random triple & odd carom make for some fun and unique moments.  But I don't think it helps or hurts the team in any substantial way short of helping out the pitching a little.   I sure don't think the players are changing their approaches.  If they keep it as is, that's fine with me.  If they modify it some way, that's fine with me as well.  It does seem like there is some opportunity for some unique seats down there by modifying it slightly.  When I first saw it, it almost appeared like a construction Phase 1.  That might be reasoning for pushing it back so far, allows them some flexibility in the future.   I also don't buy that a Free Agent RH hitter is going to care at all about the wall.   They are getting paid regardless.  I'd think that 1-maximizing payday 2-playing for a winner 3-finding a location that suits your family would be your priorities and your long-term stat line would be very close to the bottom of your list of concerns.  
    • His "ability to play RF" carries about $0 value
    • Yeah but if you think most of this money is going to upgrade things that are wrong or need improving, such as the ones @accinfo lists, I think you'll be disappointed.   They will be for new features, each one designed to create revenue via premium seating or premium "experience" areas or attractions that bring non baseball fans to the park to spend or sports betting related things. I'm not saying they won't fix some basic things that need it like upgrading the sound system or improving the point of sale technology.   I'm sure they will.   But the focus is going to be on the new attractions which are all designed with revenue enhancement in mind.
    • I’m not a lawyer … perhaps @Frobbymight know. Loss of income, future revenues? Damage to their franchise….Even with MASN the Orioles lost a ton on annual tv revenues
    • Congrats to the offense on playing a heck of a game. Lamar was incredible to watch, especially the play when the snap ended up on the ground and he had to run away towards the sideline and still found Likely for the score. It's very frustrating to me that the offense HAD to play so well because of the poor coaching and abysmal defensive play.  It's odd to me that Harbaugh still messes up timeout usage after being a coach in the league for over 15 years.
    • Can someone in 150 words or less explain to me what DYAR is?
    • I have a 3 hour round trip to get to games. I can't speak about other directions, but the stadium is very easy to get to from the south...some more traffic with the earlier start times, but overall - games are VERY easy to get to, imo. You don't have the hike through the city to get to games. I'm a rural guy, and it's really not a big deal. We took the light rail from Cromwell for Game 1 (I usually park in BC or FGH) and it was a breeze. We walked out right after the game, and we immediately caught a direct bus that took us back to Cromwell directly. We did the same thing last year. I gotta be honest - I think the "they've been horrible for half the season" reasoning is pretty lame. Even when they were down (and dealing with significant injuries) after the AS break, they were still essentially a lock to make the playoffs. Then they get healthy-ish with some key guys back riiiiight before the playoffs and look great for a couple of series - but I guess it was too late for everyone?  Come on.  Just say you didn't feel like it. But don't blame August play for not showing up in October.
