Norby looks like a guy going back to AAA for his 3rd season knowing he belongs in the big leagues on this picture.

The Tides camo uniforms are freakin' awesome. 

And here we go.  Holliday walk (after falling 0-2) and Norby with a double. 

And Kjerstad with an RBI single (105.9 mph EV).  Thats 19 in 6 games.

2022-2024 - Jordan Westburg's iconic 714 Norfolk PA have now been eclipsed by Kyle Stowers.     Connor Norby should also pass Westburg this weekend.

Win a bar bet with Terrin Vavra as the Tides wRC+ leader over the span.

Today Gunnar and Holliday have matching 137 wRC+'s, with Gunnar holding a 295-125 lead in PA.

Doesn't really deserve its own thread, so I'll dump here:

O's traded Diego Castillo to the Twins for cash: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/04/orioles-trade-diego-castillo-twins.html

Norfolk is insanely crowded right now, and Errol Robinson is the better SS. Holliday and Norby vying for time at 2B. Mayo playing every day at 3B. Maton passed through waivers and he plays the IF. Vavra will be coming back eventually. Someone had to get the cut.

Now they need to move an OF unless they are going to play Kjerstad primarily at 1B.   Stowers, Norby, Burdick, McKenna, and Daniel Johnson.  Billy Cook was sent back down to Bowie.

Is there room for McKenna in Bowie?

Not really.  Rhodes, Fabian, Beavers.   Demoting McKenna to AA seems cold.  Might as well just release him.  Burdick provides the same service if the Orioles need it plus Burdick has options.

I think it’s time to cut bait.  I was not surprised no one claimed him. He could be a AAA depth piece for a middle-tier team.  I don’t see room for him in Norfolk.

      I'm not disregarding his past performance, but in general recent performance is more relevant if it's a decent sample size.  140 PAs is a pretty high number.  It's been pretty clear for awhile now that what he was once good at he's not good at right now.  I'd rather see Kjerstad bat against lefties than Slater at this point.

      Os vs NL

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Today was, thankfully, the last games vs the NL this year…barring a WS run of course. The Os finish 19-26 (that’s a sub 70 win% seasons) vs the NL and were outscored by 42 runs.     That means vs the AL he has outscored them by about 115 runs and are 24 games over 500.

      It’s the quietest 879 in the history of baseball.

      I disagree Mayo is one of the reasons the Orioles have not hit well.  Emmanuel Rivera, who has hit well with an .879 OPS since he joined the O's, has gotten the playing time over Mayo.

      I was sort taking that as a fait accompli. Signing expensive long-term free agent deals for one dimensional sluggers heading into their 30s definitely does not seem like Elias's style, especially when an extra high draft pick (and accompanying extra bonus pool money) is the reward for not doing so.

      The Defense Thread, 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Game 153, Sept. 19 Lots of notable defensive plays today.   Kjerstad made two excellent catches, one going back and towards the RCF alley that (per Kevin Brown) was a 50% probability catch, and another going back to the wall near the corner and making the catch at close to full speed.   Holliday snared a line drive at the top of his leap, and also made a nice backhand running catch of a soft fly into medium RF. Mullins made a diving catch in the 7th on a sinking liner that he got a great jump on.   In the 9th, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Heliot hit a liner in the RCF gap that carried much further than it first appeared it would.   Mullins and Slater dove for it simultaneously and Slater actually gloved it for a second before it popped out while Slater landed on Mullins.  Luckily, the two base runners totally misread the play, and after Slater quickly scrambled to his feet and threw the ball in, the runner originally on 2B scored but the runner on 1st only advanced to 2B, and the batter had to stop at first.  The O’s were able to keep any further runs from scoring. One thing I’ve noticed about Manny Rivera is that he’s very slow charging bunts and slow rollers/choppers. He handled one bunt and one chopper in front of him today and both times the runner beat his throw rather easily, something that has happened a lot when Rivera has manned 3B.   I’m more than ready to have Urias -and/or Westburg back at the hot corner.

      Don’t know what happened to him on here but I did meet him and some others from The Sun forums at the park on Matt Wieters first game as an Oriole. If I recall correctly his name was Patrick.  He seemed like a good dude but he did have his face painted and was wearing those big hulk hands…which did strike me as a little odd for a grown man but to each his own.
