Pardon me but what a dumbass move. And I'm not really one to get uppity over roster management.

If his achilles is bothering him, DL him and give him the proper time to get it squared away and healthy, once and for all.

But sending him down over Montanez? Just stupid.

I think they want him to play every day to get out of this funk. It's not going to help him sitting on the bench. Montanez is nothing more than than a bench guy.

I imagine Scott will get the majority of the time in left although Patterson should allow Jones to sit more against tough righties... then again, Jones can't hit lefties this year so who knows?

I really don't like sending Reimold down.

The ONLY reason I can think of for him to be sent down is that they want him getting playing time EVERY DAY and that they are planning to use Patterson as the starter for the next week or more.

Scott is just as bad as Nolan. At least Nolan has a future. Let him play every day up here and work it out.

I'm reading between the lines with DT's confidence issues remark. I think besides working on his fielding, this business with the pregnent ex may truly be a big distraction.

Why not play him every day in Baltimore? Why would you put Scott every day in LF and not Reimold?

I think Reimold showed last year that he's a pretty consistent hitter. At least his approach at the plate is consistent. Scott is what he is...extreme highs, extreme lows. And Reimold still stands to be part of the long term solution here...Scott, not so much.

Would it be entirely too much to ask to give ONE OF THEM A FIRST BASEMANS GLOVE and tell them to go out there and it's sink or swim from a defensive perspective? By most accounts this spring, Scott didn't look awful there.

Reimold, as pointed out in another thread, has gotten a bit better over a recent stretch. Montanez has been horrid.

If they want to let him play everyday, than let him play everyday as an Oriole. What the hell does it matter at this point. We're 9-24. Let him play everyday and have the comfort of playing everyday, and with time he will return to the 09 Reimold that everyone really enjoyed watching play.

Sorry, but I don't get all the "this is stupid," angst-driven rhetoric. Nolan, plain and simple, sucks right now. I think LM is bad, too, so I'm not sure how they chose one over the other. But I'm not crying witch right now.

Let him hit the ball and earn his way back to the majors.

And I hope he's back soon.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
