Managerial malpractice that Mayo got no at-bats in a 9-3 game.

If this is what Mike Elias says to Jake Rill on July 13th, it may be he is playing out his Ramon Urias asset all the way through July 30th.    What else would "the right moment" given Coby Mayo's career accomplishments the last four years be?    I guess the right moment could be Mayo's agent agreeing on Elias' version of a fair price point for club options on free agent seasons.

BP's midseason Top 50 published this morning, integrating draftees.    Even with Condon and Bazzana in their top tier ahead of Basallo, they have Hollday 2, Mayo 5 and Basallo 13 overall.

Part of the Mayo comment is I think the first time I've read something about right field being too much of a stretch due to lack of foot speed, so I hear it as a big compliment to his bat they still peg him that high.    1B only profiles I am used to seeing get heavily dinged relative to guys who can defend.

Probably also suggests BA hasn't eliminated 3b from Mayo's future.

Who was the #1 prospect?

They went Caminero.     It seems (driven in big part by Holliday) there's kind of a lull after Skenes graduating, as Caminero isn't really having what you would call a great year.

If Bazzana or even Mayo or Basallo go nuts the next 2 months...

Their editor wrote a companion piece about the affiliated Minors game de-evolving as the league has happily put more development load on Driveline, the SEC, etc.

During the pandemic we did a senior staff roundtable, discussing what we thought the knock-on effects would be. Jarrett pretty accurately predicted the increasing limits on amateur talent entering the game, the capped minor league rosters, the affiliate contraction. He suggested that baseball might just get a little bit worse, but in ways you probably really wouldn’t notice unless you were paying very close attention. Well, we pay very close attention. And yeah, it’s starting to not feel good.

Mayo has made two errors this weekend, one at 3B, one at 1B.  Today, with the bases loaded, he made a bad throw from 1B and all three runners scored.   Oops.  On Friday at 3B, Mayo flubbed a grounder and a runner scored from 3B.   That’s 14 errors on the year, 4 at 1B in only 13 starts there, 10 at 3B in 53 starts.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around that high a prospect ranking for a pure bat RH hitter.  Just like I had trouble with Torkelson going 1-1.  The bat just has to be so good to make up for everything else.

Really wish he had played a lot more 1B this year.

Mayo at least has an elite arm. Tork wasn’t good at anything in the field.

It’s useful at third or RF.  

Has he given any indications that he's capable of playing third or right at the ML level?

Or is he Torkelson with a better arm?

Because Torkelson with a better arm is Torkelson.

(Obviously I'm not comparing bats right now)

      This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I find it interesting that the Phillies took the training wheels off Seth Johnson and Moises Chace and they've flourished. The Orioles never allowed Johnson to throw more than 69 pitches in an outing. With the Phillies he threw 68, 76, 84, 98, 82 before getting promoted to the big leagues. They did the same with Chace who threw a season high 77 pitches in April with the Orioles, but since June was neve allowed to pitch more than 59 pitches in a start. With the Phillies is thrown 65, 86, 89, 89, 81. In his three Double-A starts with pitch counts all over 80, he's held batters to a .137/.214/.216/.430 with 29K and just 5 walks in 15.2 innings. Maybe, just maybe, keeping pitchers on tight pitch counts and not being aggressive with promotions when they're doing well is not the best way to produce major league pitching?

      Orioles acquire Gregory Soto

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I’m with you here. We have been struggling to develop arms for bullpen or rotation and it would hurt a bit to see these two be quality arms for Philly. They’re off to a good start. Hopefully Soto can settle in to being a backend guy for us this year or next.

      Orioles sign Adrian Houser to Minor League Contract

      His first 3 innings looked pretty sharp, but then yeah, wheels kinda fell off. He could emergency start, but that's probably about it.

      The Rays Series, 9/6-9/8

      By Frobby · Posted

      I just started a similar thread, which I’ve deleted when I saw this one.  Here’s my post from that thread, perhaps partially redundant of @Just Regular’s OP. Here comes our last series with the Rays, who the O’s have dominated 8-2 so far this season, outscoring them 52-25 in the ten games.  The Rays enter the series at 69-70 and have hovered around .500 practically all year. The apparent pitching matchups are: Dean Kremer (6-9, 4.51 ERA) vs. Shane Baz (2-2, 3.49).  Kremer, who avoided an IL stint after being lit on the forearm with a line drive in his last start, hasn’t faced the Rays this year; in 6 career starts against them, he’s 1-1 with a 2.79 ERA.   Baz, who returned from TJ surgery about two months ago, has only faced the Orioles once, throwing 6 shutout innings against them in 2022.    Zach Eflin (10-7, 3.60 overall; 5-0, 1.95 as an Oriole) vs. Ryan Pepiot (7-6, 3.76).  Eflin, the former Ray, shut out his former teammates for 7 innings on August 9.   Pepiot lost to the O’s on June 10, allowing 4 ER in 6 IP.  He has a 2.40 ERA over his last 8 starts. Corbin Burnes (13-7, 3.19) vs. Zack Littell (5-9, 4.04).  Burnes has two quality starts vs. Tampa this year, allowing 2 unearned runs in 7 IP on June 10 and 3 ER in 6 IP on August 10, the only quality start he’s had since July.  Littell has seen the Oriole 3 times this year, allowing 3 ER in 6 IP on both June 2 and June 9, and 3 runs (1 ER) in 5 IP on August 9.    The Rays’ bullpen ranks 8th in ERA at 3.79, while the Orioles rank 17th at 3.98.  Since the all star break, however, the Rays’ bullpen tops MLB at 2.73, while the O’s are 17th at 4.32.   So, advantage Rays in the late innings.    Offensively, the O’s rank 3rd in MLB at 5.01 runs per game and 1st in OPS+ at 118.   The Rays are 28th in R/G at 3.90 and 24th in OPS+ at 93.  Since the break, the Birds are at 5.17 R/G (7th) and .753 OPS (8th), while the Rays score 3.86 R/G (28th) and have a .660 OPS (28th).    The Rays can certainly pitch, and are throwing three credible starters at us this weekend.  Our offense has been kind of hit and miss lately, so it will be incumbent on our starters to dominate the Rays, as they’ve been able to do so far this season.  I see this as potentially a low-scoring series, and hopefully the O’s bats will do enough for the Birds to come out on top.

      I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with talking about, I just think trying to draw any sort of conclusion at all from his performance at this point is a bit DocJJ-esque.  No offense intended to the good doctor. Everyone knew he was a bit of a project.
