05/24 Roster Moves: Kremer to 15 Day IL and Heasley Optioned. Vespi and Tate Recalled.


Recommended Posts

The baseball gods are getting even with us for last year, when our rotation was incredibly healthy.  We came into the spring with 7 rotation candidates for 5 spots.   Five of those have now spent time on the IL, including 3 right now.   We’ve already used 8 starters this year and tomorrow it may be 9 if Povich is recalled.

I wonder who they boot from the 40 man if they bring Povich up. Oh I guess Baumann leaves us at 39?

Yeah seriously doubt Povich is recalled. Elias does not alter the development plan due to injuries at the big league level.

Then will tomorrow be a bullpen game? I’d rather see what Povich can do. With tomorrow being a day game I’d suspect they would fly Povich out tonight if he’s going to make his debut.

I’m hoping we hear news that he’s on his way or Povich is missing from the Norfolk game tonight.

Povich does make sense. For a game. Then he goes back down for another pen arm. Keep in mind off day after Boston series as well. 
 

The timing of this is actually perfect. 4 games after Saturday and an off day. Depending on how Suarez is used can evaluate starters then.

Kremer and Means down in the last three days. Wells still down. Holding our breath with Bradish. No real closer. Mullins, Hays, Santander all struggling. This just might not be the year. Will be interesting to see if Elias is ready to really dip into the farm system to keep the wheels from falling off of this thing if it really starts going downhill. 

Yeah. Things do not look great honestly.

I’m think Suarez might get the start tomorrow.  He did throw 11 pitches on Wednesday, but they might go with him if they don’t want to make a roster move with Povich.

Heasley?  What are the other choices.  He's cannon fodder.

BBREF showed us at 39, MLB shows us at 40 that's with Hunt added. I doubt they're going to add Povich right now, they wouldn't have optioned Heasley they would have released him I guess. Apparently, he's great in AAA.

Once again Elias will do anything to not promote young talent 

I will take Elias decision record over what people think on this board.  The Orioles won 101 games last year and on a pace to win 101 this year.  There are 2 rookies in the Oriole lineup everyday in Cowser and Westburg.  Henderson is in his second year.

    • I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either. 
    • It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.    
    • I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?
    • I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship. 
    • We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers
    • The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR. 
    • Trading Drew Rom for Flaherty was not a big swing. It was trading a maybe prospect for a “hope he’s ok” guy with three months before FA. I am increasingly convinced Mike won’t make any bigger move this season, and what we have is basically what we will have.
