Another glowing report, this time from BP's Ben Zeidman.    I wonder if he might outpitch Povich to become Burnes' immediate short-term replacement until next year's trade deadline.    Still hoping fo

We’ll get his Statcast data now! Saw this excellent write up on Twitter. Makes me even more convinced that the injury question is really the main thing that could hold him back, especially with t

If he’s not injured, he’s scratched because he’s making his next start at the MLB level. Assuming Eflin is activated and starting Sunday, I’m guessing it’s Monday at home vs the White Sox.

Pretty cushy spot to make your debut and much better than at COL as a fly ball pitcher.

Young’s scouting report isn’t glowing. Is he a genuine possibility or a warm body thrown into the fray? He’s only 19th on the prospect list with only a 40 FV, and Povich was about 7, so presumably, Povich is superior.

should a guy be worried?

Those rankings are basically a year old at this point.  Young was coming off TJ surgery and had only thrown 40 innings.   Now he’s had a fully healthy season, has reached AAA and has done pretty well there.  Is he going to be better than Povich?  Don’t know yet but he’s certainly a credible call-up at this point.  He’s no. 10 on @Tony-OH’s prospect power rankings.

Call him up for the bullpen today so he can be eligible for the postseason? Drop Bowman?

 

I think he just had to be on the 40 man to be playoff eligible, and even then he could replace an injured guy. I do think the timing has something to do with rosters all expanding and/or playoff eligibility

“A player who doesn't meet said criteria for postseason eligibility can still be added to a team's roster in the postseason via petition to the Commissioner's Office if the player was in the organization on Aug. 31 and is replacing someone who is on the injured list and has served the minimum amount of time required for activation. (For example, a player on the 10-day injured list who has been on it for at least 10 days, or a player who has been on the 60-day injured list for at least 60 days.) “

We have plenty of guys on the injured list. I suppose for me it's a question of whether you want Bowman or Young eligible for the postseason

Any word on why Young was scratched? I would much rather have Young start against the White Sox than Povich.

Could he be any worst? I think I've seen enough of Povich for the year.

      I'm honestly starting to get worried about guys like Adley and our prospects. If these guys don't pan out we aren't going to be a successful franchise for a while.  There's no reason why the offense should be this bad right now.

      Say what you will about Mouncastle's consistency at the plate. Compared to anyone else on the team he's by far our best fielding 1st baseman. Not even close. Every short hop with O'Hearn is an adventure.

      I'm not necessarily going to buy that Holliday and Mayo should be expected to struggle this much. Jackson Merrill hasn't.   Jackson Chourio hasn't.   It's not automatic that guys have to go through a period where they are hitting around .100 and striking out more than half the time.   Lots of good players come up, have some ups and downs, but are not THAT bad.

      Sure does...but I believe he was acquired for 2025 so I won't make any judgment till June or so.

      How much do you care about winning the division?

      By Zola · Posted

      For me, winning the division is the greatest accomplishment left in the game. When I was growing up, four teams would qualify for the playoffs: in each league, the best team in the east and the best in the west would face off in a championship series, and the winner would go to the World Series.  Winning the division back then was the due reward for playing great ball all season long. That's how it still should be. That's the whole problem with the current playoff system, in a nutshell. Winning a division after playing 162 games should mean a lot.  As for this year's Orioles, I ceased to be disappointed in them sometime in late July or so. Instead, I regard them as a promising work-in-progress whose best days lie in the years ahead. They are kind of like the Houston Astros just when they started to get good but still weren't a world-class team.

      I can't help but wonder if our hitting coaches basically just do one thing:   preach the launch angle approach that Elias has determined that leads to optimal overall results.   Don't worry about strikeouts.   Emphasis on doing the most damage when you swing (vs just trying to put the ball in play, hit 'em where they ain't, etc). And that approach, taken as a whole, DOES lead to better overall results, and I believe it IS the correct holistic approach for an organization to take in drafting, developing, and coaching players? But if it is the only thing our hitting coaches know how to teach, could that also be a problem?    When a batter is in a slump, maybe he should be less concerned with focusing on the amount of damage he does per swing, but jsut with putting the ball in play to make something happen.    Could there be a psychological effect?   Players and ex-players will talk abouit a bloop hit helping them get out of a slump.   Football players will talk about going immediately back to a receiver who drops a ball to boost his confidence and "keep him in the game". And most "old school" baseball coaches believed in these things, and used them to help guys get out of slumps.   Maybe there is still some wisdom in that approach, not as a primary approach, but to help a guy get his confidence back, start seeing the ball better, etc.   And maybe the guys we hired aren't able to, even temporarily, change what they are telling guys to help them when they are struggling. Just speculating.   Grasping for answers at the astonishing lack of hitting we are seeing on so many nights.
