This will be interesting to see how it goes.  

Has to be a little ego boost to know the Orioles believe in him enough to bring him back.   Maybe that and a little coaching will get him to calm down and be the guy we know he can be.

Jorge López embraces mental break (mlb.com) For anyone wondering what the issue was related to.

I think we all know that Elias didn’t acquire Lopez to improve team chemistry.  We also can be pretty sure, based on his prior tenure here, that Lopez won’t hurt the team chemistry.   He was widely re

So he’s not eligible for the postseason roster since he wasn’t here by Sep. 1, right?

Correct.

I’d have to go back and affirm this but I believe that there are exceptions that could be made for injury replacements but as it stands, without said exceptions he would not be eligible unless somehow the claim was submitted on Thursday and just made official. That part I do not know. 

Unless he was claimed and on the 40 man roster by 11:59 PM on Thursday and they took 2 days to report it, that wouldn't apply.

I thought the waiver deadline already passed. Did this happen last week without anyone finding out til now? Maybe he will get good again and we can flip him for another closer.

MLB.com has him on the 40 man, but not the active roster. But he's not in the minors and isn't injured. So he belongs to us and he just sits on the 40 man for now? 

Waivers can happen at any time. There used to be a deadline, but that was removed in 2019. Now, the only deadline is for someone to be on the postseason roster (August 31st.)

 

As of now, he belongs to the team and they have not made a 26 man roster move yet.

What can’t happen now are trades involving players on waivers post 7/31.  If a waived player gets claimed, he’s gone with no compensation to the waiving team other than relief of that player’s salary.

You are right, sir. I just reread the rules. Unless they put in the claim on Thursday and it wasn’t announced until today (which could be the case I suppose) JL will be ineligible for the postseason.

Weren't there loopholes with injuries and post-9/1 callups?  Is Lopez completely blocked from postseason play even in an injury situation?

Again, as stated above, he would of had to be in the organization before September 1st. So Lopez is NOT eligible, at all.

Anyone else can be used as an injury or "injury" replacement, meaning someone like Means, or another pitcher or position player.

Yea he’s blocked. He can’t be on the postseason roster and since he isn’t likely to help this year, it really is a bit of a head scratching move unless there is something small they see that can fix him or they think they can get him to go to AAA, fix him down there and then sign him for cheap in 2024..they likely could have signed him cheaply in 2024, so there must have been something they see.

It could be as simple as his new pitching coaches getting him away from what the guys here helped him to develop. Every team has their own approach, they might think they can get him back to helping them down the stretch.

I bet we try to put him back through waivers and see if we can pass him through to get him in Norfolk first.  No one claimed him first time so good chance we can pass him through as only Braves didn’t get a chance to claim him.  

The Braves did get a chance to claim him but turned it down. Every NL team gets a chance before any AL team since he was on a NL team. So the Orioles were the last club to get a shot at him.

I think they changed that rule a few years ago and now the waiver order is just based on record and it doesn't matter what league a team is in.

      i still like that winning your division matters, at least a little bit.  So I think there's a happy medium between how unbalanced it was, and what you are suggesting.  13 games vs each division team feels right to me, but there are going to be years where that skews the WC thing a bit, because there's always one really bad team, it seems, somewhere (not always as bad as the ChiSox, of course).  I'm not sure how else to further balance it.  Maybe cut back on the NL stuff a bit and play more games against your non-divisional conference rivals so at least there's more head to head to base the WC on.

      Apparently this post of mine from one year ago killed this thread, as it was the last before today's bump.  In re-reading that, I am reminded (by a past version of myself, LOL) of why I love this sport.  It was actually a bit invigorating reading that back to myself.  LETS GO BIRDS!

      I've found the older I get, the less interest I have in watching my teams lose. It's a waste of time so I find something else to do. Watching my team lose is not enjoyable so I'd rather do something I'd enjoy. It's not like I'm that old either, just 47. I get a lot more enjoyment out of watching good games with other teams, to be honest. Watching the Bills in the first half last night was fun. The Redskins/Bengals game was fun to watch. Man City and Arsenal on Sunday was great. The Chiefs/Falcons game was a good game. There were a few decent college football games this last weekend as well. I'll watch the game to start tonight and if the O's are down 3-0 after the 1st inning, I'll find something else to do, probably watch some of the other MLB games that have playoff implications.

      It will be interesting to see if there is any carry over from the HBP's culminating in Heston's beaning.  Hate to say it but that's around when the .500 play started, now much worse.  I did like the way HK stared down Holmes after being hit-I think this series will mean a little more to him.

      It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.
