Still haven't gotten them back for not playing Mussina in the All Star Game.  Next time a Blue Jay gets hit, Oriole players should yell "That was for Mussina"

Will change my vanity plate to CTGVSBJ

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

I hinted at this before but I believe this IL stint will be in the weight room. Mountcastle has a major power outage going. I know some people will say, oh you are saying the Orioles are faking an injury? For a World Series yes. They will not be champions unless their 4 hitter is driving the ball. I always point to DL Hall last year and his IL transition back to bullpen.

Seriously?   He could have been getting work in the weight room without going on the IL.

When he comes back, Adley will go on an IL stint to ride the treadmill and Jackson will go on an IL stint to play Golden Tee.  The plan is coming together!

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?

Actually, according to MLB has to exceed 45 days. depending on how they calculate the day he got option he was 13 or 14 days on the roster (I think 13) September is 29 days. do they still play a possible makeup game on Monday after the Reg season? If they do have to account for that. Playoffs start Tuesday at the latest.  (so 29 or 30.) thats 42 or 43. Kas to be on roster by Sept 1 to be playoff elgible. I would think sometime during the Colorado series. how they dont bring him up I dont know.

45 days, 130 ABs, or 50 IP. 

Also, you don’t have to be on the roster to be eligible for the postseason by 9/1. Just in the organization. Teams get injury exemptions. Plus, Mayo had already been in the majors this year. 

However, I think the writing is on the wall for Mayo to come back up. It’s the “right” move to make. Let’s keep his rookie eligibility and at least get our guys experience in a playoff chase. Hopefully, playoffs, but not guaranteed. 

Mounty might be done as an O. We’ll offer him arb, but he’s likely out the door because of roster makeup. Mainly Mayo at 1B. Adley/Basallo at DH/C eventually in 2025.

You know Mounty is second in hits and leads the team in doubles. He is an important part of our lineup.

Mountcastle has been a disappointment this year. You kind of sum it up by mentioning hits as one of the categories he leads in. More hits because he doesn’t draw walks. Also, he’s been batting cleanup or #5 all season. How about leading us in RBI?

I don’t think you understand how the weight room works.

I think if anyone was expecting Mountcastle to be anything more than an average ML regular at this point that falls on them. 

Everyone isn't a five win player nor does a team need them to be.

True. I had “big disappointment” originally typed, but took it out for that very reason.

I didn't expect him to be a 5 win player, but I did expect 20+ homers. That said, I agree with everything you said- we know who Mounty is.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      ZiPS being an inhuman thing incapable of recency bias is not much out on Holliday.    It only dings his 2025-2029 forecast WAR by about 3% today relative to what it was forecasting this spring. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/reassessing-the-future-for-this-seasons-disappointing-rookies/ Jackson Holliday’s numbers didn’t take a big hit for a few reasons. First, and most importantly, despite a really lousy debut in the majors, he played well enough in the minors — plus he’s so young and his résumé is so strong — that his small-sample struggles barely register. By reverse-o-fying Holliday’s major league woes into an untranslated minor league line and including it in his overall Triple-A production, ZiPS estimates that he would’ve had a 118 wRC+ in Triple-A this season, down from his actual mark of 142. A 20-year-old shortstop with a 118 wRC+ in Triple-A would still top everybody’s prospect list.

      Kjerstad should also get some reps in at first so he can be an option there as well, although now is probably not the time, best for him to DH for the rest of the season. He had 8 starts at first at AAA this season and 37 starts there between AA and AAA in 2023.

      In Grich’s case, I think his OBP skills weren’t appreciated at the time.  He was a .266 lifetime hitter in an era when that was maybe 10 points above average, but his .371 OBP was more like 45-50 points above average.  But OBP just wasn’t very valued at the time.

      We don’t have a current combo that is ideal. You have to go with the best possible grouping you have.

      Yep, we're in agreement on the 70 rWAR threshold.  A championship would help Manny's cause, though I'm not sure if that's in the cards for him in the near future.  He needs a big moment on a big stage, too....as silly as that sounds, I do believe it matters in the eyes of some voters. Not to derail, but Whitaker is a guy that belongs in the HoF, too.  I'm not sure why Grich never got serious consideration.

      I’ve always felt that 70 rWAR was the line between having to justify why someone shouldn’t be in the HOF versus justifying why they should.  In other words, if you’re over 70, there needs to be a reason for you NOT to be in.  There are 70 position players over 70 WAR, and the only ones not in are Bonds, Pujols (not yet eligible), Trout (not yet eligible), Rose, Bill Dahlen, Lou Whitaker, Raffy Palmeiro, Bobby Grich, and Carlos Beltran.  Really, only Dahlen, Whitaker and Grich have no obvious reason why they’re not in.  And I wouldn’t bet against Beltran getting in eventually.  He’s gotten  46% and 57% of the ballots his first two tries.
