Orioles need to shoot Tony Kemp to the moon and call up Holliday. Mayo is ready as well. Perhaps Kjerstad too. Elias is playing a dumb game, imo.

Norfolk Tides in a Rout

Sounds like I should go to a Tides game!

 

[Todem]

Holiday up......he probably is never going back down.

I gotta believe he is gonna get some real run here.

Wetsburg will be heading to the bench? Can't imagine Urias sits at 3B. Mateo and Kemp are versatile guys who can be plug and play in the OF in a pinch.

Will be fun to see him.

Disagree.....looooong season. He is a veteran utility guy. And I root for stories like his. Grinder.

But they probably let him loose.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised when they signed him.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

The Orioles need to start trading some of those guys for more pitching - their bullpen scares me. They've got at least half a MLB team in Norfolk that's blocked. Anyway, it's a nice problem to have - first time in a long time.

He will be picked up again. He is a useful Johnny on the spot starter.....not an everyday guy.

I have been following his career for a while (since he was an Astro). A great story.

I wanted him for OBP purposes in my auction league but got outbid.

Drafted AND sat him.

Yay me

 

[The Gator]

He was batting something in the low .100s so I felt justified lol

 

[Spartans Rule]

Sounds like I should go to a Tides game!

I happened to be in Charlotte so I checked the Tide out Saturday. They won 13-1.

They're fun to watch, although between Holliday getting called up and not getting to play the White Sox AAA affiliate forever, they'll probably cool off a little bit soon.

 

[Gally]

play the White Sox AAA affiliate

I thought that was who was playing for the actual Chicago White Sox....didn't they just shift every level up one? I think you were watching the AA version of the White Sox

 

[General Malaise]

Oscar Colas to the rescue, ChiSox fans!

God, I burned a 1st round Uber pick on him last year. What a waste. Had such high hopes.

Don't feel to bad. He has been miserable up until today. He is known for his command of the strike zone and OBP, but he hasn't been swinging at anything so far.

Yes..i'm sure he's the answer. Not even in the lineup.

Love these videos...Holliday in the room when he gets called up.

Michael Busch has been a shrewd acquisition for the Cubs. Good work by the scouting department.

They found an undervalued asset: a guy who raked in the minors, but was not given consistent time in the majors, and was blocked all across the diamond.

It's pretty bad when u go O-fer on april 10th and you're BA only drops one percentage point.

I get his ability to play multiple positions and it's likely that his bat will come around, but it's time to jettison some of these old guys and bring up the future stars. See post a few up about Busch, who could be at 3rd rather than Muncy, and Andy Pages should be there instead of Taylor.

Managers are pretty loyal to their guys and I think Taylor is a clubhouse fixture that's been somebody Roberts can rely on. He's not going to just jettison him for a young guy because Taylor is in a slump to start the year.

He's been in a slump for over 2 years really. The problem though is a guaranteed contract through 2025.

The Dodgers have a Chris Taylor problem

It is hard to spin it in any other way. The Los Angeles Dodgers have a Chris Taylor problem that is costing them $15 million.

The guy who has him in my league is playing for next year, so, good for him, I guess?

THINGS WENT GREAT.

All of the above, and the Royals invested in starting pitching this offseason.

And got rid of a LOT of -WAR guys.

 

[ChiefD]

I will also say: the Royals current streak is 4 wins against the terrible White Sox team and 3 wins against an Astros team whose starting pitching has been decimated by injuries.

But our pitching did a great job against a pretty good Astros offense.

The Royals are at best a .500 team. Which would be GREAT progress from the last couple of years. But they are definitely building something.

Boston catcher just got tossed in the bottom of the 9th (3-3) and the Sox have no bench players left

You know......Brady Singer is 100:1 to win the Cy Young. Admittedly, it's a long shot (duh) but, he's a former 1st round pick, had a solid year in 2022 and I dunno, funny things happen in baseball. Might toss a few bucks on this.

 

[STBootleg]

Yeah, for all the hype surrounding Holliday, Cowser has been on fire. He was also a first round draft pick, it's good to be an Orioles fan.

I'm leaving the White Sox. I have applications in with Baltimore and KC right now to join them. Seattle is also under consideration.

***He had a solid second half

I owned him during the first half and he was ****.
