They always do something weird like add a third catcher for a couple days. Hopefully we get some of Mountcastle, Urias, and Westburg back. Then the 13th and 14th guy doesn't matter. Hope we get a blowout in our favor and Banjos gets some playing time

They can possibly use Kremer to the IL for someone that they plan on using for post season eligibility.

I love the Banjos nickname.

They had multiple days to have this figured out however that’s the deal. Throwing this game away with an already short bench. 

They knew multiple days ago that Urias was going to sprain his ankle?  Banuelos is replacing Ramon. Mayo was always the plan for today, hence why he’s already out west to join the team.

But it would have been easier to just add him last night before the deadline. I don't understand why they didn't do that.

Norfolk is in Jacksonville. They can just do it tomorrow when travel arrangements get straight today.

Exactly they are wasting a day. A day is a day. We need every day possible and not wasting 1. 

To recap: Eflin and Mayo were the logical 9/+ moves.

Banuelos was for an injured Ramon because he was available. 

 

They're not technically down any players at the moment.

Day game after night game. Travel day. I reckon this is more about not wanting Adley to have to catch than anything else. I reckon McCann is starting today especially with Blach pitching. So Banuelos is the backup C for McCann or even Adley if Hyde really wants to stay away from him. Adley has been struggling a ton all around.

Hard to argue with that.

I’d been sort of thinking the game would come down to whether Eflin can come right off the IL and pitch like himself. Or whether our stars can manage to bludgeon Ty Blach as they should. Or whether our defense and top relievers can get out of their own way.

But when you put it like that, the state of the very bottom of the bench/pen does seem like the sort of thing that renders this game a pure throwaway loss before we even get started.

I forgot planes can’t fly at night and baseball players can’t also travel at night. 

Teams don’t like driving their catchers into the ground especially this late into the season and even more so when Adley has had back issues recently. Folks want him to hit better, well you don’t hit better being driven into the ground.

So get on a plane at 10pm in Norfolk (or wherever the Tides are), fly 5-6 hours to Denver. Arrive at 1am, hotel at 3am, game at noon. All for a player that won’t matter much anyway (Daniel Johnson? Maton? I mean who are you even upset they didn’t summon here anyway?). Sure that makes tons of sense. Or, promote the third C for one game so you can alll but guarantee that your starter gets a real day off. I don’t get the issue. At all.

I’m fine with McCann playing today. But you can’t tell me that they can’t fly anywhere or any player after the game last night.

There are probably no flights from Jacksonville (where the Tides are) to Denver that leave after 10pm. So the logistics of getting someone there without notice would have been quite complicated.

Oh that I 100% get. But that’s a late game on the west coast. Not a lot of options out of Florida short of a charter flight. I thought you meant because it was an early/day travel day. 

Banuelos makes sense regardless of Ramon’s injury. And they really didn’t need to bring up anybody else since Rivera and Mayo (sort of) plays 3B. And Soto can kinda.

      Lol, I just looked it up, Mayo is already at -0.7 rWAR.  in 37 at bats. Holliday is at -0.3 rWAR. Me, @Frobbyand @Sports Guy have provided more value to the Orioles this year.

      AL playoff picture

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Just saw the SEA-NYY highlights from last night, and if you were opposing Luis Gil and he was wild to the tune of loading the bases on walks and a HBP and had run a 3-0 count 25 pitches deep in the 1st inning, is that the moment you would pick to try and steal home? That's what Victor Robles did.       A baseball game of "A lot to a little" quickly ensued.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Could it possibly be linked to what golf courses they might be looking to get to. ( say bucket list course like Pebble Beach, Cypress Point. Olympic Club, etc or just youre average Muni layout.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I didn't say it was all injuries.  But, fine.  Let's pretend it's just the injuries. Bradish Means G-Rod Wells DC Mateo Urias Mountcastle Westburg Bradish made 8 starts.  Let's be conservative and say that he would have made 30 starts, that's the same amount he made last year.  A starter that's healthy for a full season makes anywhere from 32-34 starts, but for argument's sake, let's be conservative like I said. Means made 4 starts.  Let's be conservative and say he would have only made 25.   G-Rod made 20 starts.  Let's be conservative and say he'd have only made 30. Wells made 3 starts, let's say be conservative again and say if healthy, he'd have matched the 20 games started last year.  But that doesn't really tell the whole story on him as he could have been effective out of the bullpen, too. That's 70 starts on the IL.  You can dice those numbers up anyway you want.  Feel free to knock off 10 or 20 starts off that number if you think I'm being too aggressive, that's still about 1/3 of a season of good starters on the shelf. DC got into 61 games last year, 29 this year.  Let's say he would have matched that this year.  That's 32 appearances out of the bullpen gone from one of our best relievers. Westburg has a 2.4 WAR so far this season, he was averaging just under 104 plate appearances per month.  Missed all of August, and will miss probably 2/3 of of September if we're lucky.  That's about 166 plate appearances right there. Mateo was at 208 plate appearances this year, 350 last year.  Replace that with Holliday who's an absolute zero.   I don't think I have to keep going, but I think you understand the point.  Add on top of this that Mayo has been a complete zero, Cowser is an automatic strikeout and had a .714 OPS last month and a .666 so far for this month.   You made the claim that other teams have dealt with injuries much better than the Orioles have, well, I'd be curious to find out if anyone has replaced 70 starts like we have and replaced a minimum of 308 at bats (Westburg and Mateo only, this isn't including Mounty and Urias) with absolute zeros at the plate from our farm system, and ~30 apperances from a key bullpen member. Oh, and I'm not including Bautista because we knew about him headed into the season. So, yeah.  Find me a team that's dealt with this many injuries this year and has done as well as Hyde has.

      Elias…DFA Kimbrel now!!

      By rm5678 · Posted

      Webb is already back, but yes I agree that Kimbrel should be DFA'd ASAP. Unlike Kimbrel, Burch Smith showed last night that he's capable of pitching well, even if he can't do that consistently.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      It’s not on Hyde which is why I never mentioned him in the post…
