Yeah, that had to be a spiteful move because clearly he had an opportunity here to get back. Godoy is a guy they can add and then DFA if they need to just like Kolosvary, so maybe he felt like he was replaced anyways. It's worth noting though that Godoy has thrown out just one of 18 base runners this year in AAA under the new rules base stealing rules. 

Overall Godoy seems like an average defensive catcher if teams don't take advantage of his inability to stop the running game. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/jose-godoy-608422?stats=statcast-r-catching-mlb

I watched him catch Graysons last game.  He did not inspire confidence.  I’ve always been a believer of the cliche that a good catcher goes unnoticed.   In the game I saw (granted 1 game so gonna give him a pass) there were a lot of “he should have made that play” moments.  Will be watching his next game with a keen eye.

Why do they need 3 catchers?

Could it be that he has a better chance at playing time in another organization that doesn't have the #1 catcher in All Star votes? 

I doubt he would have a chance with any other team based on how bad he whiffed on that pop fly foul ball. He was way off line from tracking that ball.

Didn't it hit the screen?  Was tough to tell on TV.  Looked to me like the screen deflected it from where he was.

How many catchers have made the 26 this year but never gotten into a game?  It’s quite odd. Torrens and Godoy for sure. I think Koloszvary did catch one inning but he also got zero plate appearances. Lot of shuffling the cards for players who have been quite literally useless.

Well, that didn’t last long. Benboom up, Godoy down.Sounds like a decision proceed where someone went into someone else’s office after the first move and said, “Did you realize that…”

I believe Kolozsvary and Godoy were both on the taxi squad when they got called up, so they were already nearby when the need arose.

Because we could pinch hit for the 2nd catcher when Adley DH’s on Weds. 162. We need every advantage we can get. We could play a man short in the pen with the off day yesterday and Thursday. 
 

Fingers crossed. 
 

I know people hate three catchers, but it makes sense for Weds, but I guess that isn’t an option now since we all of a sudden have limited catcher depth.

I know the catcher typically rests on a day game after a night game, but with off days on both Monday and Thursday, I think they would just play Adley both games in Tampa Bay. Assuming McCann comes back when he is eligible, I suspect Bemboom will get to play one game against Seattle, and he and Godoy will be subject to being optioned, with Godoy probably being DFAd for the next 40 man spot needed.

I hate having three catchers, but when two of them are AAA placeholders, it would be especially galling.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By interloper · Posted

      Yeah both Burnes and Hyde said after the game it's because Burnes is going on regular rest to start the first WC game and so he was shortened up a bit.

      You seem to pine for guys in AAA and then (with one notable exception) judge them very harshly if they don’t perform well instantly in the majors.  This is not the time to start experimenting with Young, and that’s no reflection on him at all IMO.

      I agree with the part about Elias. He needs to operate with a little more humility (regarding his bullpen approach) and pivot in the offense regarding how he puts a pen together. He needs to get away from the arrogant thinking in believing that we are always "the smartest guys in the room" and can fix other teams junk/unwanted parts. That is fine to do some time (regardless of how much you spend). But you can't construct an entire pen made of castoffs and almost no guys with elite/power/strikeout stuff. Yes it worked great with Felix, Perez/Lopez in 22', Cano in 23'. But the problem is that we are in '24. And some of those lightening in the bottle guys have reverted back to what their talent says that they are - mediocre. We have a pen full of decent/league average/mediocre arms. That's not what you really want heading into October.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      Also, since there’s another interesting discussion going on here, I think it’s time for Hyde to have an uncomfortable conversation with Adley. I hate everything I’m about to say, because Adley is my favorite Oriole. But we have to acknowledge where we are.  Over the last few months, the only sensible approach with Adley — other than the IL, which apparently he hasn’t been eligible for — has been to keep penciling him into the lineup almost everyday and hoping he figures it out. He has a track record of consistent lifelong excellence, so it’s felt like just a matter of time before he busts the slump and rights the ship.  But he hasn’t. Adley’s line over the last 3 months, almost half a season now, is so bad that it requires a double check to be sure it’s right: .186 / .274 / .278 / .552. A 61 wRC+. And -0.2 fWAR. He has been a below replacement player for 3 months now. He has been the 3rd-worst qualified hitter in baseball over that span, and the 7th-worst overall qualified player. The “qualified” part does make it a little misleading — most of the guys who’ve been this bad have long since been benched. I think you have to consider McCann, at least in Burnes’s starts. He’s been hitting a bit (114 wRC+ since the ASB), and even if he wasn’t on a bit of a heater, his normal baseline is still better than a .552 OPS. If you do continue to play him full-time, you just can’t treat him like he’s *Adley* anymore. You have to treat him like the bad backup catcher he’s been. He has to hit at the bottom of the order. The very bottom. There’s really no reasoned basis upon which you could want to have him get more ABs than guys like Mullins or Urias right now. And you have to PH for him liberally — whichever of Kjerstad/O’Hearn doesn’t start should be looking at Adley’s slot as their most likely opportunity.  As I said, I love Adley. It’s been brutal watching him. But there are 25 other guys on the team who deserve the best shot to win a ring. And that means you can’t just keep stubbornly handing all the ABs to a guy who is desperately lost, on the blind hope that he’ll suddenly find it.

      I didn’t post it in the game thread no, but I’m also not looking for credit. I thought it was a bad move at the time to remove Burnes in the first place, and choosing Cano at that point after he’d been bombed by those exact hitters, felt odd and off to me. The only real defense I could come up with was who if not Cano?  But taking Burnes out is essentially admitting that winning that night wasnt your top priority anyway, so why not also rest Cano, who you absolutely need in the playoffs and has pitched a lot?  I just didn’t get it in real time, and I still don’t.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?
