Orioles option Chance Sisco to Norfolk, add catcher Austin Wynns; Richie Martin goes on 60-day injured list

• Ok we have brought up Wynns, hopefully he is the starting catcher. We have seen Cisco and Severino and neither is tearing it up offensively, but their defense was sub-par.
  Was shocked really thought they would be bold and bring that other fella up

• I'm heart broken.

  Hey .. he had his 2 straight starts. It's on him.

• Though having Stevie and Wynns be your major call-ups for this "going full circle" minor league talent level Wynns coming up is actually a breath of fresh air. Chance Sisco--oh what could've been. Still can't get over Martin,Jones,Diaz stepping in these "potholes" when their call was coming. Oh well it's the process I guess.

• It should tell you something when they are trying Ritchie Martin in the outfield. Looks like he’s not in the infield plans . Maybe they are grooming him as an utility guy cause Wilkerson’s average headed south playing full time

  • Wilkerson was called up 5/18 and went 2-4. Martin was injured 5/18. Wilkerson was batting 0.368 on 5/25 but has gone 0-14 since then.

• Let's just say that Martin was the first, and remains the iconic, acquisition of the new management team.

• So is the front office process toward a better bottom line for team ownership is to just be some Punch and Judy squad each and every year so to attract the Red Sox and Yankee fans to Camden yards and watch their team spank our tails. It’s so sad

• Sisco kid hitting .154 in 23 out of 53 games this year, and a lifetime batting average of .199 in five seasons with Baltimore just wasn't cutting it. Maybe, he takes this in a positive way and works his azz off to get back and not become another dud draft pick from the Duquette era. I would love to see that for his progression back to the major leagues to become Adley Rutschman backup in the future.

• Prob long overdue. Maybe he can straighten some things out at Norfolk.

• Ok.....so are we happy Cisco kid is gone, or are we pissed off because “they” didn’t give him enough big league AB and let him struggle offensively and defensively, etc?

  • Yes, both at the same time because that's just the way we are here

  • Righto, mate. I like that!

  • I'm sad that the ship seems to have sailed for a promising young man and player. I wish him well.

  • Actually I expected Severino to go down and keep Cisco as a backup to Wynns….defensively Cisco is the better receiver….are we keeping Severino for his bat?

  • He may be outta options. Whatever ,he still sucks

• Sisco fourth worst framer in MLB , number one worst framer guess who yes our own Severino. Sisco should never catch another game teach him second base and get a sports psychologist to try to straighten his head out

  • Agree that yanking the glove toward the strike zone is an insult to good catching skills and doesn’t work well with umpires, either. It’s bush league.
    However, it made me think.....how are “framing skills” evaluated? I mean someone is watching and rating this skill, but what exactly is the metric? Seems like a soft skill and highly nuanced.

    Serious question.

• Now DFA useless Severino and bring up
  Cumberland

• Crack the sky MOUNTY

  • Nice effort today Lopez !!

• Man, I called that one. I better start posting more often!

  • Now somehow get Hanser from KC!
