  1. It wouldn't be the first time either. A regression to the pythagorean record, okay I could buy that. Not a regression of 14 games.
  2. The ESPN season preview is out: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39785389/mlb-2024-season-preview-opening-day-power-rankings-playoff-odds-all-30-teams I know these rankings are good for nothing, but here the predict the Orioles to win 14 fewer games than last year, and give no rationale whatsoever for that.
  3. This is the time of letting bygones be bygones. Whatever wrongs he made, it was what he believed was best for the team. Even hiring Tryft, even firing Miller, Johnson, letting Mussina go, etc. He never tried to sabotage the team to move it, or anything like that. Fans are passionate and get mad when they see what they think are bad moves, but just look around, there are much worse things going on in the world to be mad about.
  4. I don't like the optics of it, all for an extra year in 2030. I also think you should show good will to your future stars, it may pay off in the future. I know it's a business, and they know it's a business. But there's good will in business, too. It too makes business sense.
  5. If anyone thinks Angelos was a horrible owner, just look at what Snyder did to the Redskins. The Orioles are in great shape. RIP.
  6. I am not parking the Brinks trucks for Adley. I think he is what he is at this point. Gunnar is another story entirely. They have to break the bank if necessary.
  7. Do you take 12 years of a Ford Fiesta over 1 year of a Ferrari?
  8. One less thing to worry about in 2024.
  9. This deal tells me the new ownership wants to go for it in 2024. They want to make a splash out of the gate. I will be surprised if this is the only high-profile deal.
  10. If I could upvote this, I would. This is exactly what this is. A watering-down of the postseason. They wanted to mimic the NFL playoffs. Big mistake. The NFL is a unique beast.
  11. Not official yet, by the way. I was misled by X/Twitter. But here's the thread for when it becomes official.
  12. Congratulations all around! Now go win in 2024. Gunnar Henderson named Rookie of the year!
  13. Well. Yeah. That didn't work out so nicely.
  14. That was like Smoltz knew what was coming. Unreal.
