Poor Chad Moeller...I hope they give him a few starts this week so he can show what he's go to pick up with another team. But dude just found out he had his job for a week more, if he doesn't find out after the game. I hope the organization had enough class to talk to him before the game.

Though I am thrilled with the call up. Gary Thorne's jaw hit home plate when that was announced.

Yeah, he was totally "whoa whoa whoa, did you just say what you I think you just said?"

Just bought a pair of nice seats on eBay - better get 'em quick, friends!

Who thinks we'll have a sellout crowd?!?

Vs the Tigers?

It will probably be around 85-90% capacity and they'll call it a sell out to help pad the news story.

I'm as excited as anyone, this is awesome and I can't wait until Friday to go to the game!

That being said, why not wait until June 9th? Will this move cost us millions? Or are they taking a calculated risk that he won't reach super 2? I'm very confused on why they would wait about 8 weeks, but not 9 more days.

And from the sounds of it...macphail also said they'll be another guy (hernandez) up for thursday's start so we have berken, hernandez, and wieters up this week

There is a manager in the first base dugout who shares your elation.

Won't be there Friday but I will be there the next day...wow this is awesome.

Do they let him face Verlander on Saturday or bring him back on Sunday. There will be an angry post about DT on either Saturday or Sunday. Zaun will catch one of those games.

      That's an incredibly harsh response to a remarkably thoughtful poster who was quoting a rather reputable pod cast that was asserting an extremely controversial subject. You have definitely lived up to your moniker. You could have just disagreed without taking a personal shot.

      In continuance of the discussion in the Bradisch thread re: Cowser as an "elite" OF: I think as the game slows for him he will be an plus defender in LF, hopefully with the Orioles.  However I argued his arm is not yet reliable and while there are little or no stats available that measure accuracy (as opposed to velocity) Savant places him around ~90th among OF's for the most important stat-advance attempts-far behind Hays whose arm is much more respected at #10, Tony and even Mullins "noodle arm" rate much higher.  https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/baserunning?type=Fld&sortColumn=rate_safe&sortDirection=asc  In each of the measurable arm metrics (other than velocity) he is far from "elite".  For advances/attempts to advance above average/succesful advances he is around ~90 in MLB and last among Orioles OF. When you juxtapose Hays's numbers onto CC one thing is evident-Hays has a well earned rep and guys generally don't run on him-guys at this point don't respect CC's arm.

      I suspect it's because Urias has been hitting much better. I think Westburg/Mateo is better defensively, but it's not a big gap. Good chance this will be a close, low-scoring game. I like having Mateo on the bench in a close game so he can create a run, and some havoc, as a pinch-runner (especially when Mullins is in the starting lineup). Though it doesn't show in the boxscore, his feints from first base were a big factor yesterday.

      O's @ Yankees Series, June 18-20 (Tues-Thurs)

      Without doing any research this has been a feeling I have had too.    It is almost like the bats are trained for world class competition but when .475 clubs throw today's Joe Saunderses it can mess up the calibration. Throwing Cody Bradford and Andrew Heaney against the Orioles lineup probably isn't a sustainable October strategy. The hitting pitching balance Elias has kept so far, I agree it is more on Gunnar and Adley to lead the group beating the world's best pitchers. I hope Gunnar gets a Strahm rematch today after yesterday's first ball hack.    If the World Series is 7 close games, Gunnar probably sees Strahm 4-5 times.

      “Preferred catcher” then. Would have been insanity to start McCann today.

      Can Cook be a serviceable utility guy at the ML level?  His offensive numbers are better at Triple-A than in previous minor league seasons.
