Another team might acquire him and then try to pick his brain for "Orioles secrets" with development and preparation. It would go like this: Team: "Welcome Ryan to the organization. We really are

The Giants outfield depth was decimated by injury and they were starting 22-year old Luis Matos (Not not that one!) in CF despite him slashing .218/.308/.355/.663 in AAA at the time of his promotion.

If he does it will be like when I have to hide the tennis ball in the closest from my dog. It's the only way he'll stop obsessing over it. Elias might need to have his ball taken away.

If he cared that much he wouldn't have DFA'd him twice this year.

I hope he gets claimed, but most front offices recognize a bad player when they see one.

Yeah, most teams have a 40-man that are all stars. Sucks we've had to carry McKenna.

I'm just happy that we won't see him coming in as a defensive replacement for Santander and then realizing Santander would have made the play he didn't. That last three step offline throw was the last straw for me. I hope he gets claimed too.

So we have 4 guys that can play CF now?

That's kinda cool I guess.

Anyone can stand in CF.   That does not mean they have the range to be good at it.  I never thought of Stowers as a speed guy.

Was that the last straw or was it over sliding the 2nd base bag?

Because this is his 2nd DFA, McKenna can refuse the assignment to Norfolk if he clears waivers.

Pretty sure he won't opt for FA. He'll play in Norfolk.

Not surprising. It will be interesting if popping a few homers against lefties will get him claimed.

Literally been praying every single second to the God of my choice that someone takes him away from the Orioles organization. Please! We all know he will not get cleaned because no one wants that hot mess.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.
