It might be a reach, I'll admit, but he MAY be our best ALL AROUND PLAYER...if you consider consistency on defense, great eye, 2 out, 2 strike hitter, contact hitter, runs well, and rarely is overmatched...what a great young player. And he's just 25.

Spare me the drama over 2022.  The guy was promoted to AAA in June and had 228 PA there.   It’s hardly a travesty that he wasn’t promoted to the majors that season.   As to last year, I would hav

Westburg is turning into a very solid two-way player.   3 for 4 today with an excellent play in the field too.  Now hitting .302/.372/.547.  The balls he hit tonight were 107.5, 104.9, 101.2 and 98.0

I agree, they seem so natural together with their different personalities. Let's hope we're talking about them for the next ten years or so!

Gunnar is better and younger.

Just wait until he hits his peak at 26 and then it's all downhill from there, or so I'm told.

Hyde is calling it a hip contusion in post game presser, says he is pretty sore, day to day.
 

Norby was also pulled from his game tonight so they must be a little concerned at least initially.

Ugh this should be  Mayo

Bad timing with him just coming back. Can Norby play 3B though? Because if not, that would probably cement Urias in at 3rd and there would be no real backup there.

I doubt the Orioles would do this, but if Westburg ends up on the IL Gunnar can play 3B, Mateo at SS and Norby at 2B.

It's also reported to be a day to day injury so hoping by the weekend Westburg is back.

Gunnar 3B, Mateo SS, Norby 2B?

He can’t. But Gunnar can.

Would imagine Mateo would kick over to SS and Gunnar to 3B when they wanted to play Norby.

      Making some changes on the biz end of things.  Sounds like Bader is gone from his role too..which is great because he’s awful.

      I love the wall. Love it. I think every Major League ballpark should have dimensions like that. By and large teams build parks with much smaller dimensions than a century ago, despite the players being dramatically bigger, stronger, faster athletes. It makes no sense. The game would be improved with much larger outfields. It would emphasize speed and athleticism over endless lineups of slow sluggers.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Yes, so hes a FA, the Discussion should now turn to what Elias or anybody else might offer next year. and it's tough because at 34 he's almost a one year wonder. But I do know this our season came back from trouble all year and Big Al was there to help many times.

      We all know you think you're passionate about your team and your ideas. but the way you continually insult people whose ideas you don't agree with, or who disagree with you, is incredibly childish.   It's a form of cyber-bullying.   I'd like to think you're better than that, and wonder why more people don't call you out on it.  Maybe they know it won't change anything? Is it not possible to disagree without having to insult either the person or their thoughts?  I know it's hard to self-reflect and realize that you constantly do this, and maybe make a change for the better, but I kind of expect some insults are now headed my way for trying to make this place a bit less hostile.

      We'll see Rubenstein talks a good game, but actions speak louder than words. Also it's on Elias to be willing to make a splash if the right (but also pricey) player become available and wants to be an Oriole. I was never big on an Adley extension even last year with the way catchers age. Gunnar is a player you absolutely lock up to an early contact extension assuming he is even open to it.

      I think for almost all owners payroll matters more than winning. Even teams like the Yankees are careful with how they go into penalty.

      For sure. That's why the Hyde quote implies he is a free agent.
