Balt Sun: ‘Nothing was easy’: How a fear of the ball and a father’s push led Orioles catcher Pedro Severino to the big leagues

[Mike B]

He was scared of the ball and he felt more comfortable catching?

[BSLRoseKatz]

Might have become the first person in MLB history with a 3-HR game who has also caught a no-hitter, gonna try to find out

Outrighted to AAA and elected free agency.

That was fast. But not that surprising IMO

[BobPhelan]

He’ll catch on somewhere (although not well) as a bat first backup for ~$1 million I’d guess.

Not a bit surprised.  I criticize the Orioles for being a cheap organization and they are, but this makes sense.He was going to get a couple of million in arbitration.

That said, I want them to use the little money they saved to add to the 22 team.  Sitting out the off season better not happen.

Would have been better defense to have one of those nets that you throw into and shoots the ball back to you. His below average offense couldn't make up for that.

Signs a one-year deal with the Brewers for 1.9M plus some incentives.

 

RHed compliment to LHed Omar Narvaez.

 

Decent deal for both sides. 

 

Brewers looking to add offense to their win now lineup...Mancini and Santander remain good fits, 

[Mike B]

Good deal for Severino.  Maybe playing less, will allow him to focus on defense more.

I have no idea what that is, but does it impair his ability to catch a baseball?

Generally used to kick start your natural testosterone after taking a supplement that'll suppress your natural system. It can also be used to boost sperm count, so maybe he and his wife are trying to make a baby.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Yeah, he blamed it on fertility drugs.

I was half kidding, but that still does not explain all the passed balls.

I heard the Brewers are going to activate a lawn chair to replace Severino during his suspension. The chair plays with more intensity and will stop more pitches in the dirt.

Well there goes his much anticipated return to Camden Yards next week. How are they going to sell tickets now?

$4.00 Per ticket.  Still seems high though.

I thought you might be working the fertility angle here.

 

When I first saw the suspension, I thought maybe saw the video of the "airbender" and said..."oh, hell no..."
