Bringing up Livan instead of Mayo is an absolute joke.

How many more days until another Mayo promotion keeps him under 45 service days and rookie eligible for 2025?

I believe Mayo earned 13 days of service, and thus could get 31 more without losing rookie status.  August 29 would be the earliest he could be called up and be short of 45 days even if he remains on the roster until the end of the season.  

I think hoping for a ROY award and thus an extra draft pick next year would be a poor reason to keep him down now, though.   If the service issue is the only reason to keep Mayo down, then just bring him up now and send him back when Mountcastle comes off the IL.  And, I think the ROY possibility is remote enough where it’s not worth playing that game.

Sports Guy views players who have been on the team for a few years like Leonardo DiCaprio views women over the age of 25. 🤣

I agree that it wasn't a good choice. I just find it amusing that when guys make "bad choices" and it works out folks are quiet.  Or when folks make bad choices at unimportant times. Some fo

He is at 13 days now so he has 31 days he can use.  I expect he is back up by the Rockies series and stays the rest of the way as the extra guy in September.

They're probably more influenced by the fact he didn't look like a major league 3b and he hit .059 with a 50% K rate.

They probably are adding him as the extra guy in September so he would be on the roster the rest of the way.  You bring him up now and have to send him back he has to stay down 10 days.  I expect they prefer the couple days now then the 10 days in September.

I have to say, Emmanuel Rivera was not impressive defensively at either 1B or 3B yesterday. If that’s what we’re going to get from him defensively, I’d rather let Mayo cut his teeth.

You might be right, but it seems a pretty big ask to throw a rookie into a pennant race like this and ask him to outperform even a AAAA type.

I had heard it was supposed to be Mayo, but I wonder if the trip to the play the Dodgers on the West Coast had anything to do with it?    

 

As much as I am a favor of bringing him up and playing him every day, I wonder if they are weary of playing 3 rookies in the middle of a pennant race isn’t best. I personally 1000% disagree because Mayo can’t be much worse than Rivera or Soto.

He didn’t just struggle he looked incompetent at every facet of the game. 
 

Since going down on 8/15 he’s 6 for 21 (2 XBH) 3 BB & 8 K (33%).  Not terrible, but not setting the world on fire.  
 

I think he has a little work to do at the plate and a lot of work to do in the field before they bring him back.  I don’t think he’s in the playoff plans.

Is he getting reps at first?

      Tigers Series I

      Don't worry, they'll give you just enough optimism to get out of shrug mode before the Yankees series, then disappoint you. 🙂

      I think, the tools are there. The pedigree is there. He is young. We are going to find out over the next 18 months what kind of "head" he has. Like all Oriole youngsters, I hope he can produce equal to his hype. But I think/hope he will have to earn his place starting with next spring. He will set the narrative and the Orioles control his future unless he is traded. IMO, he has a lot of work to do to earn what circumstance has presented this year..

      I'm in shrug-mode for the rest of the season. It's just, we'll see how it shakes out at this point. The Orioles aren't a very good or healthy team right now, so... that's it!

      Tigers Series I

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      The Tigers are on a roll, and an example of how seasons can turn on a dime in unexpected ways. In mid August they were 55-63, 8 games under .500 which was close to a season worst. But after a 20-9 stretch, they now have a solid chance of posting their first winning season in 8 years, and an outside chance of reaching the postseason for the first time since we beat them in the 2014 ALDS. They are 75-72 and 3.5 games behind Minnesota for the last WC spot.  Pitching is the main reason why, even after trading some arms at the deadline. They are 4th in MLB in ERA, have the likely Cy Young winner in Tarik Skubal, and a pretty good bullpen. Their offense has been average, led by All Star Riley Greene. Kerry Carpenter has also been excellent-- he missed most of the season with a back issue, but is playing now and playing well. We currently have TBDs tonight and tomorrow because the Tigers used openers twice last weekend vs the A's. The bulk followers of those games are both rookies who have been effective in limited innings, some as a SP some as a RP. Then, we likely face another rookie Sunday, but one who has been more entrenched in Detroit's rotation. Looking at those games, here's my best guess:  Eflin vs Opener/LHP Brant Hurter? (4-1, 3.00 ERA, 33 IP) Hurter threw 5.1 IP, 1 ER, 3 K as a follower last weekend Burnes vs Opener/RHP Ty Madden? (1-0, 2.57 ERA, 14 IP) Madden threw 5 IP, 1 ER, 7 K as a follower last weekend Povich vs RHP Keider Montero (5-6, 4.88 ERA, 83 IP) Montero threw a complete game, 3-hit shutout against Colorado on Tuesday A lot of the Tigers hot run has come against cellar dwellers. In their 20-9 stretch, they're 1-2 in series against current playoff teams. (Beat NYY, lost to CHC and SDP.) Hopefully we can stamp out some of their momentum, but facing three straight rookie SPs who are running hot lately is a bit spooky.

      One of the unique and weird things about Clutch Cargo was it entirely animated except that the mouths were video of actual moving human mouths.   It made for a very strange look.
