fuck you, have a ramon urias dinger
hahaha...do you SEEEE what happens?!
― j.q higgins, Thursday, 1 July 2021 00:46 (two years ago) link
the truth is, urias has been hitting decently and pretty consistently in minors/majors since 2018, not a total no-hoper like some of the filler the orioles have been putting in the lineup

Crisp game today, Matt Harvey had a good start, advantage was taken of defensive lapses
The "5th inning is here time for Jorge Lopez to give up some runs" thing is just getting silly now
Urias hitting .349 for July

Urias with the GWRBI today to complete the sweep of the cross-town Nats, McKenna, porous of bat but fleet of foot, comes scampering home from third on Ramon's groundout to notch the game-winner and the Orioles win after being down in the 9th for, I think, the very first time in 2021?

i like your patter, chief, but porous of bat? and cross-town is a stretch

it is a crime that rutschman was in double-a until five days ago (and that grayson rodriguez is still there)
presumably with september rosters only expanding to 28, there'll somehow be no room for rutschman then, either
joke organization/league
― mookieproof, Monday, 16 August 2021 22:50 (two years ago) link
the best reason i've heard for keeping him down is that anyone on a 40-man will be locked out for at least part of 2022 (probably), and it makes more sense to have your big prospects getting reps in AAA than sitting at home.
also if he was brought up it would make the team better when we're only 1.5 back of the dbacks and i WANT THAT PICK IT'S ALL I HAVE TO LIVE FOR

they took adley at 1, i have faith they'd do it again if there's an undeniable player there, and by all accounts there will be
― ✖, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 01:30 (two years ago) link
adley is a college guy and now 23 years old; when they drafted him in 2019 *lots* of ppl were all like 'he could play for the big league team right now'. he didn't really hit like it that summer, okay.
so now he's spent 2020 at the alternate site. and he's put up a .400 OPB in the minors this year. and admittedly pedro severino is eminently serviceable and practically a star in this lineup.
but the team is terrible and adley -- tHe ToP pRoSpEcT iN bAsEbAlL -- is learning *nothing* in the minors while the o's stall his clock. maybe he'll get there next april 16th when he's 24 i guess.
with a different, less shitty team he'd have been in the majors a year ago, and there's no reason we shouldn't all want that.
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 03:08 (two years ago) link
rodriguez is only 21 but he's fanning like 15 per nine innings now in double-a. can he possibly be worse than the shit they regularly roll out? do we not want to see the best available players playing in the majors?
also sucks for cedric that he's not even eligible for arbitration until after *next* year -- he'll probably get a $10K raise to $600K after putting up 5 WAR this season. (and if he were eligible for arbitration *this* winter you know goddamn well he'd have been traded at the deadline)
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 03:16 (two years ago) link
anyway sorry -- the o's are just the most egregious current example of how fucked up the entire system is. the pirates/marlins/etc are little better if perhaps less blatant.
i really hope it all burns down this winter!
