Kyle Brnovich, last remnant of the Dylan Bundy trade. Velocity up, new slider. Getting a lot of whiffs.

Is he likely headed to the BP or possibly a rotation arm? Forgot about him.

At this rate he could be our ace by June... But realistically maybe a right handed version of Akin.

That has value.  I think one of the flaws in the organizational planning, is not having and using correctly, a long man in the pen.

Hopefully Tyler Wells is another guy that can fill that role later this season.

I thought about him too.  He was actually in the dugout and Roberts and Brown pointed him out, but the tone made it seem like he was behind Bradish in his rehab.

No matter who fills the long role, they need to commit to it.  Having a long guy who goes 4 innings saves two other relievers.  

I like a lot of people, get frustrated when Hyde speeds through the pen, but IMO this a baseball philosophy that is shared by many teams.  Baseball seems to prefer 4 guys pitching an inning apiece then one guy pitching 4.

Basallo back tonight after missing some time with a hamstring injury.

Any updates on Reilly?

Does Anderson have any chance of staying at C

Does Anderson have any chance of staying at C

Definitely a chance. Seems to be a good receiver. But should have the bat to play at corner OF.

Nothing yet.

Ugh, hopefully nothing serious.

Minor league affiliates already a combined 26 games under .500. Just terrible.

Mayo with 2 HRs tonight.  6 on the year, OPS up to .935 after a very slow start.  Starting to make a case for another shot.

AA has no hitters and great pitching, Delmarva is stuck between good prospects in A+ and FCL.

 

Basallo also hit a homerun last night, a left on left slider that he pulled 111 mph 426 ft.

Work on the $39M improvements to the Frederick Keys stadium to begin on May 14 - likely not good news for Aberdeen.

Please bring Oriole affiliated baseball back to Frederick! It never should've left.

I think it's probably going to happen next season or the one after that - Frederick and Aberdeen have the same owners, so I think they'll probably move the A+ team to Frederick and put the poor man's Cape Cod league team in Aberdeen.  Adn then they'll try to get Maryland to pay for renovations to the Aberdeen Stadium.

Best FCL team in Orioles history starts their season today.

[BaltBird 24]

Imagine we'll be seeing a lot of Martinez, Liranzo, Sosa, Garcia, and the Sanchez's in the FCL.

Be nice if one or two of them take a big step forward this year.

[BobPhelan]

Stiven Martinez 3-3 with a walk and a double.

 

Luis Almeyda with a triple.

 

A lot of early hype around Nate George, he went 3-4 with a HR.
