  1. Flaherty certainly looks like a guy who could use a fresh start and a change of scenery. Curious what we gave up but I can’t see the price being crazy. If Flaherty can regain some of his form and help this team down the stretch and into the playoffs I will be happy. This team is still likely 2-3 years away from seeing the full realization of the talent they have collected. Given the success of this year it is reasonable to add a piece that is not to costly in terms of talent and focus on acquiring some arms during the off-season. It was hard being patient during those leans years and it is hard now but it makes all the sense in the world to be cautious THIS year and not do anything that would hurt our chances of building a team that be dominate over the next five years. I know some will not be happy with this move but I am good with it so long as the O’s show a willingness to spend some money this off-season to address the pitching holes they need to. If they fail to do that then my patience might begin to wane
  2. John Means at 100% I would agree. Not so sure though we would have seen that version of Means this year. Unfortunate though. I would have liked to seen him come back this year.
  3. They are not as bad as some make them out to be. They are certainly not masterpieces by a long shot either. Not a fan of the B on the hat personally. Has to much of a Boston feel to it for me
  4. I would certainly not move him for peanuts but would not cry if he were to be included in a deal for a SP. It's not a matter of disliking Mateo for me, quite the contrary I respect the hell out of the work he has put in to improve his offensive game. I just think his value has substantially improved, he plays a position of organizational depth, and would I would not lose my mind if the team moved him to improve the rotation. That said, will be happy also to see him on the roster at the end of the season.
  5. I'm just enjoying the ride and grateful to watch talented players, play winning baseball. Still feel like the best is yet to come in 2024-2027 and perhaps beyond, but this team will be fun to watch this year also. After the lean years, I am just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round with a great big happy smile on my face.
  6. I think that Adley kind of ushered in a new karma for this organization. There are rare players who bring with them an air of confidence, an expectation of success, and a firey competitive disposition that is somehow balanced by a cool confident demeanor even when the going is tough. Adley is one of those guys. He also happens to play the position on the field that maximizes his reach and effect. Over the past several years most of my baseball time has been spent going to various minor league affiliates and watching the youth progress. It's been fun to watch. Adley has been a joy to watch play. Looking forward to what comes next.
  7. Maybe so but let's see how things look in June. I am not saying it won't be an issue, just saying it's a little early to make that judgment. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
  8. It's early, not terribly uncommon for pitchers to not go that deep. If its still a major issue in June, then I might jump on board.
  9. I hated the trade then. I hate it even more now. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk
  10. Not only perfect through 6 he has hit a HR to boot lol He is so dominate right now its silly. Guys are just clueless against him. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
  11. It's been a rough couple weeks. It was nice to have something to be excited about. It always feels better when we win than lose.
  12. I hear ya. Today I had to load a good playlist and take a half hour jaunt in the woods just to get my head in a good place to watch the game. Your not alone in this regard.
  13. I pray to god he will be in Baltimore. Priority #1 this offseason had better be to get him inked to a deal. I don't care if its the only thing we do next offseason and we have to roll with AAA guys to fill our other holes lol (j/k but you know what I mean I think). My fear is if we don't get it done this offseason and the team slides back some in the standings next year, it will be near impossible to get him signed as he will likely just play out the final two years (after next season) and cash in as a FA. Again for dramatic effect ....he has to get done, its imperative in my opinion. Machado is a franchise cornerstone of a very rare type. You cant let that kind of guy just walk.
  14. While I would agreee with you in principle, not to many Mets fans are sweating what they gave up for Cespedes as their farm system is far better. I would argue that most of the angst about Parra revolves around the fact we gave up one of the few good pieces we have for him. If we had 8-10 other guys of similar talent to Davies like the Mets have.....we might be complaining that he has not lived up to expectations but the vitrole would be far less.
  15. I know that...was being sarcastic regarding a poster who felt that the window was a benefit to the O's resigning Parra Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
