We have one roster spot coming available in September. We also have on obvious player to send to the minors in Soto. Mountie and O'Hearn are here through the season. Thus we have 2 spots for 3 players that most expect to be on the roster in September.

After the season they could deal Mountcastle or O’Hearn or both.

The Tides were in Gwinnett finishing off a series with the Braves, and are now headed home for the next week.  I’m guessing they may have just decided to give the kid the weekend off to recharge

No he doesn’t. That said how is he getting out of a slump playing twice a week? His glove isn’t good enough to justify him staying if he isn’t hitting.    He can comeback later on this month or

Meh…After Sept 1st they could have one or both of them up without feeling pressure to play them.

Sigh...I was responding to a post about the September expansion. We currently have two spots for that and three players. That is what my post was about. We aren't discussing the same thing. Tell me how Mayo, Westie, and HK all make the September roster.

You forgot about Mateo.

I would have to guess it will be one of Mayo/Kjerstad on the postseason roster.  Mayo could get some more MLB time in September and then go back down when Westburg or Mateo comes back.  It looks like Westburg/Mateo won't be back till mid September at earlist, with question whether Mateo will be back at all.

We'll see but I think fair chance he's back Labor Day.    Aug 2 - Aug 14 was 13 days, and the final 28 starting with the White Sox under 45, in case maybe you don't want to start Emmanuel Rivera against LHP in the AL playoffs.

Kid is a lifetime .500 hitter at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

      This is some classic pitcher-speak head-in-the-sand nonsense. In fairness, they all do it. "I felt great out there but it just didn't go my way", etc.  Or Cole Irvin after his sudden velocity decrease "I decided to stop focusing on velocity and get back to pitching".  surejan.gif

      I agree with that, I think he's better than a 50/50 chance.  There's an outside shot at 3,000 hits and 500 homers. He's approaching 60 career rWAR, too and should probably clear 70 rWAR.

      Manny now has more homers as a Padre (164) than as an Oriole (162).  😢 He had a very rough start to his season, bottoming out at .611 OPS on May 17 and still only at .662 on June 18.   Since then, he’s had a .918 OPS.    I’d put his Hall of Fame chances at better than 50/50.   He’s only 31 (baseball age) and is under contract for 9 more seasons.  He’s going to accumulate some numbers even as he goes through his decline phase.  And hopefully he’s got several very productive seasons left in him before the decline comes.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      By Hallas · Posted

      Even in old-school pre-analytics ball it was well understood that hitting the ball hard and on a line was generally beneficial to your results.  There has never been a time when hitting a blooper was considered a favorable outcome even if it frequently resulted in a hit.  Are these frustrating to fans watching, and opposing teams that are the victims of these outcomes?  Sure.  But these outcomes have pretty much universally been considered luck.  On the other hand expected stats clearly show that hitters with different profiles can (and do) succeed.  Luis Arraez has an expected batting average of .319, 99th percentile, and an expected woba of .334, well above average, despite having one of the worst exit velocities in baseball.  He can do this because he slaps line drives everywhere, and that is reflected in his squared-up rate and his rate of hitting balls in the launch angle sweet spot.   The additional data has clearly (to me) shown that while there is an optimal value for everything, it's not absolute, and you can be a legit MLB player with a decently wide range of batting skills.  Which is something that we already knew from watching baseball over the years.

      Our bullpen is mostly guys picked up cheap from other organizations (Webb, Coulombe, Cano, Perez). Ben talked about how Suarez spent time at the pitching lab. He alone is a major nugget worth 3 wins. Sometimes when your roster is full of guys performing at a high level you have to DFA guys who end up good but overall I don't see the Orioles track record here as a problem. Might even be an asset.
