I'd imagine if they want a spot start Rogers would be the guy.

Question though, if a guy is optioned at the end of the season, they are still available for the playoff roster, correct? I think options don't matter for the playoff roster but I'm not 100% sure.

Povich and Suarez Fri and Sat.. BP or Rogers/McDermott on Sunday, especially if there is nothing to play for..

As for playoff roster, no way Povich left off. It's Baker or Bowman -- after last night, I choose Bowman.. depends a lot on who the opponent in the WC round is..

So 5 left handers, I think it be 5 right handers, if they go with a9 man pen.

I don’t think they matter as rosters are elgible to change after each series

In the unlikely chance that the division is still in play, should that affect the starter of choice? It'd have to depend on a Yankees loss the same day so we wouldn't be strictly playing for the division... but it would be nice to get that bye.

Assuming the Yankees have clinched the division, it seems like just a rest day and we should just call up whoever's not expected to make the WC roster.

I thought the same but looked into this last week and they do seem to matter.  I believe that it’s only through the regular season though and that leaving a player off a playoff series roster doesn’t count as an option.

from Major League Rule 41(a): “No player who has been assigned optionally or outright to the Minor Leagues may be named to the roster for such series or otherwise replaced under this Rule 41 unless 10 days for position players or 15 days for pitchers or “Two-Way Players” have elapsed from the most recent assignment to the Minor Leagues (or Spring Training facility), unless the player is replacing a player who, subsequent to the assignment (A) is unable to render service in such series because of a specific injury or ailment; (B) is unable to render service in such series because of the serious or severe illness or death of a player’s immediate family (e.g., spouse, parent, grandparent, sibling, child, or grandchild) or a member of such player’s spouse’s immediate family; or (C) is the father of a child whose delivery or adoption is imminent (i.e., within 48 hours of the assignment).“

Similar question….what if the win is needed on final game to get home field for WC.

The Tigers did win today (of course) but it is unlikely for the last game to matter. We just need to win one of the last four and that's with no help from KC or DET, I believe.

In that case I think you have to start Kremer on Sunday.  Home field is critical.  Detroit (and KC) are bad parks for the Orioles because they suppress home runs.   If we need to go to game 3 against Detroit, I think Povich is a viable option to start because Detroit is so heavily left-handed.   

Hopefully Burnes makes this question irrelevant tonight.

Hmm, well that could make optioning someone more of an issue then. Now if the Orioles don't think Povich will pitch for them in the playoffs, then perhaps he would be optioned. I still like Povich coming if say one of the starters were knocked out early because he's opposite handed and may be able to save the pen by eating multiple innings.

So It's 13 pitchers for the Wild card round? What position player are you dropping?

Really would be nice to win tonight OR have DET lose so then they can play around Sat/Sun when the games would have no bearing on the seeding. Dont want this to come down to Sunday and having to win to get the 4 seed or then there will be some tough decisions that have to be made.

Povich is off vs Detroit at least. Even if they carry a 9 man pen, Doubt that 5 will be left handers

Why carry four 1 inning guys over a LH long option?

Cionel stinks and should not be on the roster over Povich when you still have Akin, Coulombe and Soto.

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.
