Mayo made his 9th start of the year at 1B last night. Elias is in a bind. He wants Urias’ defense at 3B as a sub if we pinch hit for Mateo in the playoffs, but Mayo is looking like a star. 

Silliness. Just move Westburg there and put Mateo at second.

I still don't think some people realize how special Mayo is going to be. He's the impact bat this Orioles lineup needs. He was a bit better the rest of the week at 3B and 1B then he was in the first t

I think we should go with Mayo, but the situation would be her Westburg starts at 3B and Mateo at 2B. You pinch hit for Mateo in 3rd or 4th AB then Westburg has to slide over to 2B with Urias/Mayo at 3B?

If the playoff game is so close in the late innings(Mateo 3rd/4th AB) that you pinch hit for Mateo, do you want Mayo coming into the game?  Especially considering if it goes to extras with the bunt in play with the runner starting on 2nd. 

Urias doesn’t have any options to send down till September. Our only in house option would be to call up Holliday in September and the playoffs. Westburg could stay at 3B and Holliday come in for a pinch hit Mateo at 2B.

Mateo wouldn’t be starting in the playoffs.

No matter what?    Lol

Yeah, he could start against LHP.   

 

That above scenario is the only reason I could see us keeping Urias right now. Would we want to lose a close playoff game because we pinch hit for Mateo to tie a game/get the lead, but lose the game because Mayo isn’t the defender Urias is. 

We have options after we trade Urias,

1. Just simply have Holliday on the playoff roster. If Mateo is pinch hit for, then Holliday just comes in at 2B. 1-1 substitution keeping Westburg at 3B.

2. We make a small trade for a defensive wiz that can play 3B and stash him on our roster and make sure he’s playoff eligible. 

Either way, this is a likely scenario in the playoffs, but it’s fixable. Get Mayo up here.

I’m not ready to concede that Mayo needs to be lifted for defense.

I respect your opinion, but there is no other reason to have Urias over Mayo right now. 

I guess we could get creative and keep Urias till September by option Cowser to get Mayo up here. Or we could go with a short bullpen and rotate fresh arms in the 7th pen spot.

If you pinch hit for Mateo, you put Mayo at third and Westburg at second.  That's more than fine.

Elias likes his depth.  I think Mayo is up before the end of July.  Urias might even stay.

Asset management.  The team is doing fine w/o him.  He can be brought up when rosters expand allowing the team to hold on to Urias.  He will be up the next time there is an injury for a position player.

Coby struggling with throws at 3B tonight.  2 bad throws in first 3 inning.  Threw one in dirt that was picked.  Threw another one down the line that pulled 1B off the bag for E5.  I missed the first one (it was mentioned by the broadcaster).  On the E5 he was looking the runner back to second base, took an extra step and pulled it.

Thanks for the info. Tough for Mayo. As much as our offense is celebrated, you have to be elite defensively to crack our lineup.

I would not say the bar is set at elite.  He has to be major league average, or close.  It’s not clear that he is.

      Orioles win; Yankees lose

      By dystopia · Posted

      Kind of frustrating how well Boston has played this year given expectations. And they always seem to have a good farm.

      With 2.5 years of control I can't believe the Marlins will shop him for dimes on the dollar.

      Re-visiting Luzardo

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Luzardo has certainly experienced a down year compared to 2023. He has had some injuries (and currently on IL with a lumbar issue) and his statcast data is worse. The walk rate is still good but the K rate has dropped big time.  He is still missing bats but players aren’t chasing as much. I still think this is a guy that is and will be on the O’s radar, provided that they are comfortable with the medicals. They still would have him for 2 more years as well and he doesn’t turn 27 until the end of September, so you basically will have him for what are historically his peak years. Miami has said they aren’t trading him but I’m not sure I buy that. Outside of 2023, he has had his share of injury issues and he’s a big risk to acquire but he’s also a big risk to keep. The question is, what will Miami need for him to decide to move him?  Right now, his value is obviously way down. If you are Miami do you keep him and hope he gets back healthy, finishes strong and then you trade him for more  in the offseason than you likely can get now or do you cut your losses, get 70ish cents on the dollar and make sure you get something of value? If the Os were to put a deal of Norby, Stowers, Beavers, Tavera and Urias on the table for Luzardo and Nardi, would Miami turn that down?  Would they get a better offer? I think both answers to those questions are maybe. I think he’s a tough one to gauge but the team control and the fact that he is left handed is huge. Get him with our coaches and our program and on a real baseball team and things could be different for him..change of scenery type thing. I was luke warm on acquiring him before because I was worried about his health but if we can get him without trading our absolute best assets, that makes him even make intriguing. Add in getting Nardi and I think this is a package that could help the Os a lot. Its a risk and it certainly hurts some of your depth but it also opens up a door for Mayo and eventually Holliday and it keeps your absolute best prospects here.

      I would not be surprised to see Boston finishing 2nd in the AL East this season with the Yanks 3rd

      The Sacramento A's

      By JimGinSP · Posted

      The O’s will play MLB games in a MiLB ballpark next year.  For those who are thinking “road trip!”, consider this about Sacramento.  While announcers were raving about the weather in Oakland this past weekend, in Sacramento July 5, 6 & 7 daily highs were 108, 110 & 106.  I would imagine day games will be limited.

      O's Getting Hosed, All Star Reserves

      By jamalshw · Posted

      The Semien pick and the Holmes pick seem to be the two biggest reaches which is interesting since neither were the only rep for their team so there isn't even that logic there.  Josh Smith or Jordan Westburg should have been over Semien (I know they are both primary 3B, but either could play 2B for a couple innings) and Kimbrel of Jansen over Holmes.

      Must be fWAR because Westburg has 2.8 rWAR to Semien’s 2.3. And he’s only played 5 less games than Semien.
