2K24: Baltimore Orioles

[rhd]

What about Paredes who should be wrapping up rehab soon? He played 8 games at 3B last year and would provide more of a bat than Flaherty.

Good point. But then who gets sent down? A pitcher? I think it's either Flaherty or Paredes but not both unless someone gets injured. They wont send down a pitcher w the starters struggling the way they are.

Doesn't Hardy to the DL open a spot? Or were you accounting for that with the Flaherty move?

If so, maybe a pitcher? They need some more flexibility since they are short on IF.

Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Orioles requested Hyun-Soo Kim be sent to AAA...again. And he again rejected it. WTF? Can someone explain that to a guy who doesn't live in the Baltimore area? I know it's only 139 AB's, but the guy is slashing .345/.428/.482????? (And I see as I type this he's 2-for-3 today already.) He hasn't hit for much power, but how can a team not have use for a guy getting on base 42% of the time????? That's just crazy. What in the world is their infatuation with Joey Rickard? (.265/.320/.380) (Yes, I know he's a Rule-V pick and Rickard can't be sent down.)

You just answered your own question. It's not that they have no use for Kim, but in some stretches they could use an extra arm more.

I guess. I'm just not seeing how an extra arm in the bullpen can ever be worth more to a team than a guy getting on base consistently almost 45% of the time.

Trey Mancini has been killing it. Two multi-HR games this week, and in his short career of 36 ABs he has a whopping 7 HRs. How much longer until the O's make him an every day starter? It looks like there are opportunities for him in platoons with Kim vs. RHPs and Smith vs. LHPs.

It must be the bat.

"I'm more impressed with his bat," Showalter said after the 11-4 win. "So Trey hits his second home run, and [Craig] Gentry grabs his bat and says, 'I'm going to give that bat a try,' and he hits a home run. Manny [Machado] said, 'You know what? Give me that bat.' And Manny hit a home run. So all of them were with Mancini's bat. I've never seen that before."

Oof. What was the matter with Gausman tonight? Career-high 8ER in only 2+ innings. And against the Reds.

Just in the little I saw, he had absolutely no command.

he wasnt missing by much but the calls he didnt get were clearly bothering him. His body language was terrible.

[Pauly]

4 hits 4 runs no outs so far for Gausman today. so many people around here loved this guy...he has been AWFUL!

[SlideRule]

Certainly not paying any dividends for my team so far. Is a DL stint in the works?

Been pretty quiet about that so far - haven't heard any of the rumblings to cover a DL stint for suckitude like "tired arm" "dead arm" or "fatigued".

Another stinker today. I think Im done. The only trepidation I have is that I dropped Wainwright in similar circumstances last season and of course he turned it around

It all depends on the depth of the league and your commitment to streaming pitchers
