Not in today's lineup, surprisingly. Wong starting at 2B.

I'm surprised by that too. Roch says Holliday is on the bench tonight, so hopefully we'll see him later in the game. Wong has an opt-out opportunity tomorrow, so this might be his last hurrah as an Oriole.

An MLB.com writer made a bold prediction that Holiday will win the MVP as a rookie.

https://www.mlb.com/news/bold-predictions-for-2024-mlb-season

 

Nostradamus has already predicted this

 NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #6-2

   In the year 1580 more or less,

   En l'an cens octant plus & moins,

   There will occur a cycle very strange;

   On attendra le siecle bien estrange;

   In the year 1703 the heavens shall witness,

   En l'an sept cens & trois cieux en tesmoings,

   In the year 2024 Holliday will reign most valuable player

   En 2024, Holliday sera le joueur le plus précieux

T-minus 3 hours until Wong opt-out trigger. Then we have a day to tell him if he's on the roster. But I'm sure they know what's up already. 

The problem becomes, how long after 3pm until the beat reporters actually get around to finding out what the result of the opt out is.

Man, I wish that I'd had been wrong.  I don't want to say 'I told you so' as I take NO joy in this at all.  But I always felt the whole 'he's making the team' and 'Elias comments shows he's in MLB' was over blown and expected him to start in AAA.

    • I have two tickets to Game 1 of the WC which I cannot use due to work travel.  Section 352, row 4, seats 9 & 10.  Asking $70 total for the two.  Paid $205 to the Orioles as a season plan member.   PM me if interested.  Paypal preferred.    
    • Can't make game 1. I'll be at game 2...last time I was at a playoff game at Camden, we beat Scherzer and the Tigers.
    • He should be taking fly balls all winter.
    • That was a lot of fun. Felt like there are certain elite seasons that had to be part of the team, and then tried to build from there.  Outfield depth is a little shaky, as is the rotation — though the latter is probably mostly unavoidable. The lineup would rake and the bullpen would shove, so pretty happy with this combination.   C 2022 Adley Rutschman (5.4 rWAR) 1B: 1998 Rafael Palmeiro (6.3) 2B: 2005 Brian Roberts (7.3) 3B: 2015 Manny Machado (7.5) SS: 2024 Gunnar Henderson (8.9) LF: 1999 Brady Anderson (5.9) CF: 2021 Cedric Mullins (5.9) RF: 2008 Nick Markakis (7.4) DH: 2013 Chris Davis (7.1) Bench: 2003 Melvin Mora (4.7) Bench: 2006 Miguel Tejada (4.5) Bench: 2011 Matt Wieters (5.2) Bench: 2001 Jeff Conine (2.9)   SP: 2000 Mike Mussina (5.7) SP: 2007 Erik Bedard (5.7) SP: 2019 John Means (4.4) SP: 2002 Rodrigo Lopez (3.7) SP: 2010 Jeremy Guthrie (4.5) RP: 2016 Zach Britton (4.1) RP: 2023 Felix Bautista (3.0) RP: 2004 B.J.

    • Gray started off well  but then ran out of steam a bit. He's not getting any younger. I was interested in him last year but I think the Cardinals overpaid and his contract only gets worse. 
    • A bit. Nothing life changing, but the format seems…Cleaner.
    • That was a tough challenge.    C Adley 2022 C Charles Johnson 2000 SS Gunnar 2024 3B Cal 1999 2B Schoop 2017 1B Davis 2014 UTIL Tejada 2006 CF Cedric 2021 LF Markakis 2008 RF 2012 Adam Jones DH/OF Luke Scott 2010 DH/1B David Segui 2001 OF Luis Matos 2005 (defense sub) CL Britton 2016 RHP Koji 2011 RHP O'Day 2013 RHP Sherrill 2009 LHP Bleier 2018 (good call Frobby) LHP Groom 2002 SP1 Mussina 1998 SP2 Bedard 2007 SP3 Bradish 2023 SP4 Chen 2015 SP5 Rodrigo Lopez 2004 RHP Ponson 2003 LHP Means 2019
