Nice job by Baumann to save the bullpen.

The Rutschman effect is working on Buamann. He's already a better pitcher.

I don't think that's true. This was his year-0. He certainly could have debuted earlier, but it would likely have been through a contract.

If the Orioles had traded for Headley in August 2012, Manny wouldn't have debuted in September that year. The Orioles we're making move to compete before the 2012 season and the success was a surprise.

Had the Orioles done more to compete 2019-2022, they'd have likely had better catching options and avoided the anticipation of a prospect solving a problem.

If the team were playing for something he'd have been up before this year. Certainly for 2021 but I also think there is a shot he'd be up in 2020 for a good team as well.

Nah. They'd just play Pedro Severino.

They gave out physical Adley debut ticket stubs out to fans as we were leaving.

So if you think it's an inflection point then what does that mean? We won't be trading away guys (Mancini, Santander, RP) this year? We'll be adding at the deadline? They'll be aggressively promoting other guys? Actually give out multi-year contracts in the off-season?

If you listen to Elias's presser today it sure sounds like the flip is being switched.

Hope so. The next few guys I think would be reasonable to slow play so not gonna be concerned if we don't see Rodriguez, Hall, or Stowers until around the trade deadline. Off-season will be the next big point that tells us something about the direction.

Rodriguez should he up, but not as crazy as Rutschman being down was. Hall doesn't really need to be here yet. Stowers could, but really no room for him right now.

We really need one of the 2B/3B but Henderson, Westburg, Ortiz, Mayo are still a ways away.
