Holliday got more or less the same treatment last year and Henderson too, thought it was an MLB toe dip. Seems like a good way to do it.

Really hopeful that Basallo can come up sometime mid way through 2025 and give Adley more of a break.

I really like the idea of finishing out the last few weeks at the next level.  I think it gives them a taste of what they need to work on as well as the motivation to do it.

Nats are calling up Crews. Crews will be really close to the 130 AB to retain prospect status. Theoretically, Basallo slots up one spot higher in the offseason rankings. 

Looks like Basallo won't hit #1 this offseason.  Maybe he has a chance next spring/midseason 2025, depending on his AAA performance.

Mayo and Crews I bet both stick in the list.    They are about as likely to surpass 130 AB as 2022 Gunnar Henderson.

I almost look forward to next year when Honeycutt or EBJ is a normal #1 prospect maybe around 30th MLB-wide.    Provided all the biggest talents are on the Orioles.

Looks like Darren McGaughan (30 MLB innings of 8.00 ERA) will be the opponent as Basallo starts seeing AAAA Up/Down slop artists a little bit more frequently.    His stuff will probably not be as hot as Jackson Jobe's Saturday night.

A couple things…

It’s good to see Basallo hit a lefty vs lefty HR. Especially of the AAA variety.

Basallo just turned 20 like 3 weeks ago. 

He’s had 7K in his first few games but that he’s adjusting. 

Dylan Crews started out on fire, and the Nats are batting him leadoff. The cutoff is 130 PA. Crews is at 13 PA through 3 games. The Nats have 28 games left. It’s going to be close, but if the Nats sit Crews even 3 games he’ll stay under. We’ll see. 

Holliday graduated from prospect lists last night.

Are we talking about Basallo being ranked the no. 1 prospect in baseball?  I haven't looked closely at his competition, but don't believe Crews should be under consideration.  He played decently in Double A/Triple A, but did not set those leagues on fire the way a top ten MLB prospect, who is already 22, should.

He'll be #1 on some lists. Fangraphs only has Jackson Holliday and Junior Caminero ahead of him, both of whom will graduate soon. 

Lawlar and Mayer can't stay healthy.

Carson Williams is his main competition in my eyes.

Hard to make a case for Williams, when Basallo is two years younger and outhit him at the same level.  Carson is very good defensively, so perhaps that could be weighed more if Basallo is looked at as a player who will need to move to first base.  I would still rank Carson Williams over Dylan Crews. 

I did a quick review of the top prospects on MLB Pipeline and unless there is some other guy outside the top 20 who is going to shoot up the list to no. 1, it looks like Basallo to me.

It resulted in a Single, but breaking ice midway through one Thursday evening showing up among the AAA EV leaders alongside future long term opponent Kristian Campbell.

I’ve watched Travis Lakins Sr. serve up some home runs before, but never enjoyed one nearly so much as now…

    • It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.
    • Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time. 
    • Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late. 
    • Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes. 
    • Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.
    • Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!
    • The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
