When is the time right for Reimold?


Kevin Lomax

Recommended Posts

I was curious what others thought when it comes to seeing Nolan in Baltimore again.

Is there a certain threshold he needs to pass? For instance if he has an OPS of x over the last x games, bring him up?

Is it just wait until rosters expand?

Do we plan on leaving him down for the rest of the year unless he really goes on an amazing streak?

For reference.

Please, opine.

Maybe getting to .250 would be a start???

Everytime he has a good week these threads start about when should be be up, he's finally healthy, he's back to the Reimold of old, etc. It's time to just let him play and see what he does. He doesn't deserve any at bats over Scott, Patterson, Pie, Jones, Markakis, or Wigginton so I don't see how calling him would be a good idea considering he shouldn't be a starter.

Whether LF or 1B, when he does come up, like Bell, he should play every day so that Showalter has a real chance to evaluate him. I'd like to see that happen now and not wait for rosters to expand in September. I want Buck to see what these two can do against real major league pitchers and not against watered down September rosters.

Disagree. He deserves at bats over Patterson and Wigginton. Those guys won't/shouldn't be on the team next year.

For record, I was starting this thread not as a all those things you said above, more so as a question that would help us quantify statistically or in some other way, when the time was right? I wasn't saying now is the time. I was asking when is it appropriate. When has he finally gotten healthy, back to the old Reimold, etc?

I dont know what everyones problem with patterson is...he has the 3rd highest avg on the team and almost 20 sb's. I think he could be a great 4th outfielder next year.

No problem with Patterson. He's done great for us this year. Are we just going to ignore the rest of his career though?

He's not part of the future that's all. Reimold, though time is running out, still has a chance to be. Or at the very least could up his value in a trade.

If it's a question of whether Reimold or Patterson gets playing time, Reimold should win every time. I can't believe it is even a issue.

Getting Reimold straightened out should be one of this team's top priorities. If you have to sit Patterson to do that, you do it. He is Corey Patterson, for crying out loud.

    • No hitter through 6.  1 walk,  11 strikeouts but pitch count is around 100.  Will they bring him out for the 7th (Pirates lead 8-0)?
    • Means vs. Miller (3-3, 2.66 ERA) ? vs. Castillo (4-5, 3.31 ERA) ? vs. Kirby (4-3, 3.58 ERA) Miller faced the O’s twice last year, allowing 3 runs in 4.1  IP the first time, 2 runs (1 ER) in 5.2 the second time.   Castillo allowed 1 run in 6 IP when we saw him in 2023.  Kirby faced us twice, allowing 3 runs (2 ER) in 6.1 innings the first time, and pitching a complete game, 3 hit shutout the second time, in which he faced only two batters over the minimum.    The O’s haven’t named their starters for Saturday and Sunday.  Irvin and Kremer are our most rested starters, but  Burnes also would be available by Sunday, and there has been talk that Grayson Rodriguez could be activated without a rehab appearance.   The Mariners are averaging 3.82 runs per game, 23rd in MLB, though they’re better on the road at 4.21 runs/game.  They have a 98 OPS+, 17th in MLB.  Their top hitters this year have been Josh Rojas (134 OPS+),  Cal Raleigh (120 OPS+, 10 HR, 24 RBI), Luke Raley (118 OPS+) and Dylan Moore (104 OPS+).  Julio Rodriguez has been quiet so far at 91 OPS+.   Seattle’s bullpen has the 8th best ERA in baseball at 3.27, slightly topped by the Orioles’ 3.23.   Our old friend Austin Voth has been a mainstay for the Mariners, posting a 3.12 ERA and 1.039 WHIP in 17.1 IP.  Andres Muñoz has been an effective closer, posting a 1.47 ERA with 11.8 K/9, saving 7 against 1 blown save.    With the Seattle starters and bullpen and relatively mediocre offense, and the O’s recent offensive slump and strong pitching, this figure as a low-scoring series, but we’ll see.    
    • Broadcast gun had Paul Skenes at 100 on pitch 100 as he notched his 11th strikeout wrapping up 6 no-hit innings. Pirates bullpen under the gun to continue it if they can.
    • O'Hearn's statcast percentile bars are insane.  He's not swinging at balls out of the zone, he's squaring up everything, and he rarely whiffs.  I don't think I've ever seen a guy look this bad through his mid-20s and then flip a switch at 29/30.
    • I like the Smashburgers from Baseline Burgers, and also the tacos at Vida Taco Bar.
    • No hitter through 5.  1 walk,  10 K's on 81 pitches versus the Cubbies.  Not too shabby.
