Hey!!! I just ran into @Dipper9!!! There’s always something good happening at the Yards, even if not on the field.

He’s had like 27 at bats or something.

Yeah and I kept saying it would take a lot more before he would be good. But we're not a losing team anymore and wr don't have time to wait for 3 rookies at rhe same time to get this crap together while they adjust to big league pitching. Those who thought he would come up and light the world on fire and instantly replace Santander or Hays were just a bit unrealistic. There's always an adjustment period and some take longer than others. We don't have much margin to mess around when chasing a division title.

We need Mullins back.  He's still the heart and soul of this team imo and the spark when the O's need it.

One of my favorite things about the Game thread now is all the people overreacting about Colton having less than 30 at bats. 

Did DirtyBird rub off on everyone or something?

I don't think that I am overreacting by saying it may take hime some time to adjust to this level like it does most guys including most of the very best prospects (including our own).

Last year this veteran laden team sucked right up until they called up Rutschman.

It’s not always linear failure when they recall a rookie. And the organization knows what to look for in young players to know they’re ready. And you don’t glean anything from 30 at bats, you just don’t. Cowser has walked twice as much as he has K’d. 

That is a thing.

All the more reason they should've been up much sooner.

Sure. And the solution is not to send him down. The solution is, as you said, give him time to adjust.

Westburg .680 OPS .. Cowser .489OPS ..sheesh 

They are rooks. It's going to take time. Didn't we go through this with Gunnar already this season and Adley last? Everyone is not going to be De La Cruz. As a matter of fact, he and Carroll are the exceptions and far from the rule.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      When you are in a championship window, roster spots are extremely important. You need room to wiggle, but also usable players for the major league roster in that year. They could add another, but I don’t think Pham or Van Loon would be lost. If they are, they’re easily replaced. We need shuttle arms, with many of our current group out of options. I wonder if they actually even take a rule 5 pick this year.

      This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy

      This whole rebuilding from the ground up stuff needs to stop. The rebuild was over a few years ago and the Os have a defined philosophy of how they draft, how they develop, etc…what they had to rebuild from is completely irrelevant now. It’s done, it’s been done. They draft how they draft because they believe it’s the best way. They develop how they develop because they believe it’s the best way.

      He looked good last night. Not overly reliant on his FB too.

      You are looking for reason here?  lol. Good luck. Of course he needs to make adjustments. We knew that the day he drafted him. If he was batting 500 right now, he would still need to make adjustments. Thats what happens.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By RZNJ · Posted

      This idea that Gunnar should move to third because he’s not elite at SS is pure nonsense.   Even the idea of moving him because he’s not elite and then talking about Holliday and Westburg at SS is laughable. Even with the defensive slump, Gunnar is average at SS.   However, he only made 8 errors at SS last year in 83 games and he was among the top 3 SS in the AL in defensive metrics in the first half. He’s a 23 yo SS who’s already good with the ability to be well above average, if not elite.      SportsGuy has had a Gunnar to 3B agenda for quite some time.   A lot of it had to do with his obsession that Holliday was drafted 1:1 as a SS and SS for the Baltimore was his destiny.   It’s sad. Think about this.  He doesn’t argue that the current, super talented SS can get better.   He only argues that Holliday can get better.    We know Gunnar does everything well at SS but he’s been error prone in the 2nd half.   He has the tools to be very, very good.   He’s also shown he can go long stretches at SS without making a lot of errors. Stop the sillines!

      Right and I’m not trying to turn it into that. Im solely talking about the long term outlook of Gunnar at SS and I don’t see him as a long term answer over there but I do think it’s possible.

      You’re observing Honeycutt really struggle in his debut which has led you to the conclusion that he’s going to need a lot of reworking this off season.   Conclusion  a judgment or decision reached by reasoning.
