Plum spot for Westburg facing off with Crochet - they are both Top 3 from the 2020 1st round in career rWAR to date.

Reid Detmers clinging to the lead with an early volume advantage - Bobby Miller and Patrick Bailey the only others with 2 WAR to date.

Spencer Strider late that draft has everybody about doubled for the moment.

Ah, another year of second guessing the lineup every single day!

I heard that he was initially scheduled to be DH, but told Hyde, “if Burnes doesn’t want me to catch him, then I don’t wanna play!”  Then he was seen softly sobbing in a corner of the locker room.

I don’t know why people keep lumping O’Hearn in on posts like this. The guy had one of the few over .800 OPS on the team last year. He’s not remotely the problem.

Why?  He didn't exactly with Kjerstad.  Based on how Urias has played, I don't think it's possible for him to get too rusty.  I know he's going to get playing time if he's on a roster as he's a vet and someone Hyde likes and respects.  But if Urias was a rookie he'd ride the pine or get sent back to AAA based on his performance to this point.  

Urias’ playing time of late has been very close to what Kjerstad got while he was up.  Kjerstad made 4 starts and played in 7 games out of 16.   In the last 16 games, Urias has made 4 starts and played in 5 games.

Looks like a pretty lengthy delay getting this one started. Hefty rain in Chicago this morning moving out now but fairly slowly. Then a quick turnaround with the day game tomorrow - really getting into the grind now.

I'm surprised there are 3 right handers in a row. One might think puting Cowser at #8 would solve that issue.

We can just pinch hit if that part of the order comes up vs a tough RHP. Both Mullins and Stowers will be available. The R/L thing isn't as big of a deal when you have starters on the bench.

Is Adley nursing a minor injury why is McCann playing catcher so much. Or is this a case of it’s the White Sox and the team is resting Adley’s knees against weaker competition. 

That's a great question. It definitely makes you wonder if something is wrong with Adley.

Batting Cowser 9th is kind of puzzling.

Did you miss where he fouled a ball off his foot yesterday? He hobbled around pretty good and the trainer had to come out. I doubt that feels very good today.

I was on the road for part of the game that makes sense and today’s a get away game.

Probably vs the lefty pitcher.

I think part of it is this stretch where we don't have any off days. When McCann started on Friday they said something like "McCann gets the start because Adley is starting a day game tomorrow".

Didn't he also spike himself early in the game stepping on his own foot? Definitely a little dinged up yesterday. I had to listen to the radio broadcast and the Chicago guys were saying while he was catching something happened where he spiked himself on one foot.

      You gotta be kidding me, they named a stat after SG?  No wonder he posted that tweet.

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Updated through Jun 17th. Two new guys into the top 30 as Aron Estrada and Billy Cook make their way. Some of the Latin guys who are not hitting are getting dropped and even some top ten guys moved around.  New guys on the Players to watch scene as well.

      The top Oriole run differentials of all time

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      I'm not sure I'd compare THIS team to any team, especially the 1970 team or the 1971 team. Those teams had enormous power and defense and starting pitching. But of course, the game is drastically different and specialised and the power of the athletes is night and day. I  think offensively speaking though, it's hard to compare the 24' Orioles to ANY team in recent memory, including the 2012-13 Orioles with Manny, Reynolds, Hardy, Davis , Schoop and the others..I just hope we can acquire a solid  starter and reliever(or two) for the second half run. Some difficult decisions are ahead for Elias.But this team can sure score runs..

      Maikol Hernandez: The classic example of Latin American Volatility

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I feel bad for writing this but Maikol Hernandez clearly can not hit professional pitching. He was Orioles first top 50 rated International prospect when he was signed for $1.2 million. He was rated higher than Samuel Basallo though I remember Koby Perez saying Basallo had a higher ceiling. I'd say he was right on the mark on that one. As a Venezuelan, he probably had less eyes on him then if he was Dominican, but a lot of this just goes to show how hard it is to access these guys at 14 and 15 years old or younger, when these agreements need to be made. Hernandez is the first of several high priced shortstops (Luis Almeyda and Emilio Sanchez) that have struggled to hit in the early parts of their careers. Now the book is not even close to be written on the last two, but neither have gotten off to good starts and Almeyda has been very injury prone in his short career. When you add in Braylin Tavera's struggles in Delmarva before getting hurt, the million dollar guys have all struggled to hit outside of Basallo. Luckily, Leandro Arias, who I believe was a $500K guy is really starting to hit in Delmarva and Thomas Sosa shows flashes of his promise and was also a just a $300K guy.  In the end, it's such a crap shoot and you can see why the Orioles tend to spread out their money vs throwing them at the million guys too often.  It also may be a good case for a draft. This would allow clubs to evaluate these guys at least at 16 or 17 years old vs 13-15. Still a tough gig, but it would seems to be a little better than throwing millions at teenagers with agreements that were made when they were 14 years old.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By RZNJ · Posted

      The thing is, Eric Fedde was a nobody before this year.  He’s having a great first half.  There’s nothing to say he’ll be any better than Kremer come October.
