What happened to Bemboom? I missed the news.

Bemboom went on IL for concussion protocol 2ish weeks ago.  He did a couple rehab assignment games at Aberdeen and came back to Norfolk for the double header on Saturday

The guy he reminds me of is Hanser Alberto, back in his good year with the Orioles (.305/.329/.422).   Alberto was adequate defensively, but that’s about all.

All, well earned promotions. 

Keep an eye on Charles. 98-99 MPH with a flash plus split-finger and new found command that he's never had. He could end up in the Orioles bullpen this year if he can keep it up in AAA.

Glad to see Prieto get moved up; I was beginning to worry he would just get forgotten down in Bowie. He's 24 and was putting up a Ted Williams batting average and a Joe DiMaggio hit streak in the Cuban league three years ago before hitting everything at AA this year, so it's certainly time for him.

He's one of the few guys I'm willing to speculate there might not be room for in Baltimore, but hopefully he can showcase his hitting ability in Norfolk. Other teams will surely be interested if he can keep hitting like this at AAA.

The question with Prieto is where does he fit best defensively? Second base makes the most sense but he'll be an average at best defensive 2B. The arm is lacking anywhere else for me though he could fill in at 3B and SS. 

The bat doesn't have a ton of home run pop, but he doesn't strike out. Kind of reminds me of a younger Adam Frazier.

This seems to be a “ride the hot hand” moment with Charles. Wow, would he be a huge addition to the big club, even if he can just hold it together for a few months.

I'm praying to the baseball gods that he keeps it together and is able to be that 6th or 7th inning arm we desperately need.

Sorry to read of the Toby Welk release, though it was inevitable.   

He was nice draft story during his good initial good year in Aberdeen (NY-Penn League). He was not going to stay at 3B, and just didn't have the speed or power to move to a corner outfield position. Add in his inability to stay healthy and his age, it just was time. 

He seems like a guy who could try and catch on with an independent league or another org that needs some depth, but he may just choose to head to his next stage of his life.

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
