Saving Mayo’s rookie  status is not related to saving money unless Mayo doesn’t play a full season NEXT YEAR.   There’s no difference in terms of Mayo’s eligibility for free agency or arbitration rega

And this cuts both ways, too.  Urias has a .907 OPS in July plus he's a Gold Glove third baseman.  What more does he have to do to not get leap-frogged by a rookie? I'm being somewhat hyperbolic

Of course, I am biased. I know Coby and his family well and interviewed Coby back in high school. I stay in touch with the family multiple times a week.Of course, I want to see him get his chance as m

Weird that photo must be from Spring Training.

I'm not sure he's ever worn a #16 jersey so there are probably no photos of him in that number.  Could have photoshopped I guess LOL

They probably just wanted him to play back to back games at 3rd.  He hasn’t done that in awhile as he has played 1st some lately and they have had some rainouts and short games.  Plus Rogers is ground ball pitcher while Kremer is fly ball guy.

Ya know in looking at Mayo's body structure, I can see why he has had a more difficult time than others in acclimating to third base.

He is a BIG guy.  6' 5".  Probably 230 to 240?  Only 22 years of age.  He isn't a 5'10" quick sparkplug kind of guy.

He is just growing into himself.  I think back to that time of my life and of other athletes I know who were that big and most were kind of gangly, not fully coordinated yet.   To be that young and that big and to play an infield position at a pro level that is not first base?  That can't be an easy thing to do.

I think in a year or 2, at whatever position he ends up staying at, he will be much more comfortable with his body and what it can and cannot do.

Westburg is on the DL and won't be back for at least six weeks.  He doesn't figure into the conversation right now, in terms of getting Mayo at bats. 

I'm aware of that and was addressing the situation for when Westburg returns.  If you go back and read my original post on page 9 I was responding to a poster who said he thought Mayo was here to stay.  I don't think that's certain.

Regardless, I'm excited to watch him play.

I don't disagree with you that he could at first because I think 2B-SS-3B are set with Jackson-Gunnar-Westy but I think at least one of Mountcastle or O'Hearn are still here next year.  I think O'Hearn is vastly underrated and should be on the 2025 team.  He has very good at bats and hits the ball hard.

I like O’Hearn and it will be interesting to see if he wants to stay. That said, I’m on the dont overpay good but not great players.

      Who thought the run D would struggle? Why would anyone think that?

      O's .300 hitters

      Oh it’s definitely harder but I think teams are de-emphasizing it. Again, not saying they shouldn’t but I believe it has gone too far.

      Candidates for O’s MiL Pitcher of the Year

      By Frobby · Posted

      I think there are a lot of pitchers who made progress this year and may help the major league team some day, but there don’t appear to be a lot of high ceiling guys who could be TOR or even MOR pitchers.   Saying that, sometimes pitchers surprise you.  Nobody gave John Means a second thought until he showed up in the majors and was effective.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By accinfo · Posted

      No, Arizona was 84-78 for the entire season which is 6 games above 500 and played in the World Series.  Texas was 15-13 in September and won the World Series.  They didn’t play much better.  I have never nor I don’t think many people here think everything is fine and dandy.  In two weeks this same group of players with some added additions from injuries could play better.  They could play closer to the team which played in April and May.

      O's .300 hitters

      By Frobby · Posted

      Has it gotten devalued, or just harder to do?   I would far prefer a .260-.280 average BA to today’s .244.   I do think that one reason BAs are lower is that batters are emphasizing swinging for power.  But the bigger reason is, pitchers have just gotten bettter.  They throw harder, with more spin, and have a wider array of pitches than ever before.  It’s harder and harder to make solid contact, so if you do, be sure to hit it hard.    By the way, I have a simple way to raise batting averages by 10+ points: bring in the robo-umps and eliminate the 12% of called strikes that are actually balls.  Yes, the 4% of called strikes that are actually balls also will go away, but the net advantage to the hitters will be significant.  And the beauty is, you’re not changing the rules of the game or the strike zone.   You’re improving enforcement of the actual strike zone.  Do it!

      O’s look done

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      His career numbers are pretty much as identical as they can get from either side, and his season numbers are not that different either. .837 OPS lefty, .793 OPS righty this year.
