Did he get a bag of honey roasted peanuts?

Rosters are expanding, not as if calling him up is sending someone else down. Gives him a chance to work with the ML coaches and further acclimate to the majors.

Yes, the Westburg injury created an opportunity. It looked like Mayo may have been the best option to help the team if he could hit. He didn't. At that point the extra two weeks of Mayo wasn't worth g

Nice. 

I wonder if he will play any 1b while Mountcastle is out. 

I hope not.  In 172 innings (approx. 19 games) he’s got 6 errors at 1B in Norfolk.   I’d consider him a liability at 1B or 3B at this point.

Because he has dominated AAA and has stayed down long enough to qualify for ROY next year

If he had dominated AAA why send him down so soon after being called up? He actually saw his OPS decrease since returning to Norfolk.
 

He looked lost up here and I don’t know who you would play him over in a pennant race. He’s also a detriment in the field.

Because they have an extra roster spots.

Who else would you call up?

Because if they kept him on the roster continuously to the end of the season he would have lost his ROY eligibility. The extra two weeks of Mayo may have been worth it if he looked like he might OPS 1.200 but since he didn't they sent him back down. Many of us predicted this.

His playing time with the O's the first time around was far from consistent. He can easily take the at bats that are currently being given to Eloy Jimenez at DH and they would be far more consistent than what he was receiving before- and he wouldnt have to worry about defense.

So if you’re so worried about retaining his ROY status for next year, why call him up on August 2? Why not wait until mid August when he’d still retain it for next year? What if he didn’t suck when called up? Elias was ok with losing the status then?

Does he go down when Mountcastle is ready?

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Sanfran327 · Posted

      This board is smart enough to realize that the grass isn't always greener. The only way I see Hyde on the hot seat is if we miss the playoffs completely, which still feels very unlikely. Even then, I doubt he'd be fired during the offseason, but maybe. But then what? I don't think you give Buck Britton a shot at this roster. He's doing his thing and doing it well at AAA helping to develop guys. Could bring back Buck Showalter or Joe Girrardi, those sound like fun names. Or better yet, I bet everyone here with a torch and a pitchfork has their own little crystal ball with a short list of candidates ready to catch lightning in a bottle.

      The 4-run deficit was surmountable if we had more than one player who can hit the damn ball.   Kimbrel giving up six runs in the 9th may turn out to be a blessing.

      O’s look done

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I wonder if last night was kind of a face saving tipping point though. Kimbrel and/or Eloy are easy famous names if Elias wants to "get serious" about optics. Not anything involving any of the long term chosen ones obviously.

      Really hoping the Minnesota series means nothing. I don’t care what seed they get right now..just get in. They aren’t any better at home than they are away. If you can have your spot clinched by Minnesota, I want to see them rest as many guys as possible for those games.

      Elias taking accountability

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Parsing words I think "the testing of our depth" part is as close as Elias will come to critiquing Holliday and Mayo. I believe the club prides itself on its ability to prepare Bats to be ready to stay up, etc., but I do wonder if Sig Mejdal's "leading, bleeding edge" has made substitutes for actual MLB competition less effective than they have been in recent years. As awful as this run is, I've seen some comments a big off-season is ahead, but I'm not sure I agree.     There's nothing to do next April but play the guys you've planted your flag on.      Adley, Ryan, Holliday, Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser, Mullins, Kjerstad and Mayo is I think about as set an Opening Day lineup as you can find inching towards the winter.    Tommy Pham will be available for free next summer if somebody can't play. Certainly some interesting day to day calls for however long this year's ride the club can hold on for.    Prospect growth is not linear, and it still isn't impossible Holliday or Mayo will display some in the next 2 weeks.     Mayo can take dozens of at bats a day against Hurter with easy access to the Trajekt machine at home.

      Mullins swing in a 3-2 count at a pitch that started at his shins and just was never a strike was telling. They are pressing beyond pressing, obviously. I'm just not seeing any spark from anywhere. They look tired.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Jskins2190 · Posted

      What a funny thread. Yes we will. Will we win in the postseason? I’d say definitely no, but we’ll make it.
