Speaking of McKenna. Where is he? He's not getting any ABs at Norfolk.

He only just passed through waivers, so I think he spent his first game on the bench. Gonna be tough for him to get playing time at Norfolk honestly.

That's what a person of normal intelligence would say of Tony Kemp.

Would it make sense to send someone like McKenna down to Bowie?  He's not down for development, he's a break glass in case of emergency fellow.  He can get his reps at AA as easily as AAA.

You guys remember when we sucked? When all of our minor league teams sucked? When we were losing a 100 games and all we were looking forward to was drafting Adley first overall? Yea, those were the days.

Now we are arguing over which guy who contributed to us winning a 101 games last year should get booted so we can bring up one of our several studs from AAA.  I guess these days aren't so bad either.

I prefer these days.  Feel lucky to have lived to see it.

I wasn’t sure if the Orioles would ever be this good again in my lifetime. Even with the 2012-16 run it felt like it was only temporary. The team had been bad so long they accumulated enough draft capital to get some good talent and Dan Duquette made some very shrewd moves to bring in undervalued players.

Now there’s an organizational philosophy when it comes to bringing in players and renewed commitment to the international markets. And Elias isn’t dealing with Brady Anderson and his manager advising ownership on what moves the team should be making.

Holliday is the easy answer and it’s not even close, barring injury.  Kemp can easily be released to make room for him.  I ask again….without injury, who is leaving this team anytime soon?  I just don’t see them releasing Urias, O’hearn, Mateo, and especially not Hays.  They also have very little trade value. If Holliday comes up for Kemp, then you have Cowser, Mateo, McCann, Urias as your bench.  I could see other moves as we get into May, but can’t see anyone but Holliday before then.

I’d do something with Urias. And immediately call up Coby Mayo. Coby Mayo is in Gunnar Henderson territory of ascending through the minors. He’s a stud 

I'd rather it be Mateo.

    • It can’t hurt to do research on him and place a call to Cards GM & see what’s involved . We need SP help . 
    • Here is my roster. Wasn't an easy task with some tough decisions C  Adley Rutschmann 2022 1B Rafaeil Palmeiro 1998 2B Brian Roberts 2009 SS Miguel Tejada 2006 3B Manny Machado 2015 OF Adam Jones 2015 OF Albert Belle 1999 OF Trey Mancini 2017 DH Chris Davis 2013          Bench Gunnar Henderson 2024 Bench Melvin Mora 2004 Bench Jay Gibbons 2003 Bench Matt Wieters 2011 --------------------- SP Mike Mussina 2000 SP Jason Johnson 2001 SP Wei-Yen Chen    2014 SP Erik Bedard 2007 SP John Means 2019          RP Jorge Julio 2002 RP BJ Ryan 2005 RP Jim Johnson 2012 RP Koji Uehara    2010 RP Zack Britton    2016 RP Felix Bautista 2023 RP Darren O'Day    2014 RP George Sherril 2008  
    • You must choose a 26-man roster from 26 seasons. Here are the rules. Ignore 2020 Select 13 position players, with 9 starters and 4 bench players Select 13 pitchers, with 5 starters and 8 relievers You can only select one player from each season from 1998-2024 (exclude 2020) You can only select a given player ONCE  Starting pitchers have to be starting pitchers, relievers have to be relievers I will amend rules as appropriate from any suggestions you have. Go. 
    • Now being reported on MLB Network in middle of Braves-Mets postgame wrapup.
    • Adley's teams have beaten Witt's teams by about 25 games/season the last 2 years and hopefully can maintain a lead the next 2-3 days. If McCann bats 9th, and Ragans is gone before Batter Faced #27, would the risk of forfeiting the DH be considered if a righty reliever is attacking McCann in a key spot?    Hyde has at least Kjerstad and Holliday on the bench, and maybe one of Mullins or Cowser if Slater starts. I am guessing the roster tomorrow will be 14 bats and 12 arms, so you might have one extra somebody for the team's 36th or 45th plate appearance. One factor against taking the chance...zombie runner is gone so the two teams could have long extra innings for the first time all year.
    • Not sure if it’s been shared already, but saw this and thought he would totally make sense as someone to target in the offseason. Cardinals are looking to reduce payroll, though not sure what a reasonable offer looks like for a 35 year old pitcher making 25 million a year for the next two years. A very light free agent class this year. Someone will definitely overpay for Burnes and I hope it’s not the Orioles. Severino, Buehler, Bieber and Max Fried are also intriguing. What say you? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/09/report-cardinals-open-to-offers-on-sonny-gray.html
    • I was looking that up too. He was in the bullpen throughout 2018 brewers run. Had a very solid first playoff start in 2021, then a not so good one in 2023 as you posted. Postseason is a different animal, and he’s got some experience, but he’s not proven in the playoffs. Time to make that money Corbin!
