  1. Does anyone have a video of this? I missed the game and I’m totally lost on the context here.
  2. This made me openly laugh. How does that happen in the stands if you are the announcer? Why did no one in the section or the section next to you say anything? There’s a camera crew there with eyes on you, how did they not see or record anything? This sounds unironically like a Seinfeld bit.
  3. Did he? It's a been a while, so my bad on missing that.
  4. To Bowie they both go, I presume.
  5. Kjerstad's numbers are highly encouraging, but I think seeing how he'll do in AA is going to be a way better catalyst for what is to come at that point. Maybe in June he'll get a call to Norfolk unless he's really knocking the snot out of the ball, then get that call to AAA sooner. Overall though a lot of the young guys have had great springs.
  6. My guess would be at this moment if nothing else happens, that's the plan. Whoever your weakest two starters or whoever gets hurt gets replaced by Hall, GrayRod or both
  7. Tampa has kept Wander Franco and Brandon Lowe, so if we play our cards right we can probably keep both Adley and Gunnar; assuming we're going off the Tampa Bay model. They've won, and they've done so in convincing fashion since 2019. 2020 they made it to the WS. Yes, it was a Mickey Mouse year but they've been very successful being aggressive. They made the playoffs with almost everyone hurt last year, which is a testament to the depth the organization has invested heavily in. Depends on whose knocking and who has what. We're obviously not getting a TOR starter, but someone in the middle of the rotation wouldn't hurt. Miami, Minnesota, Atlanta, and teams who need OF help who lose out in FA can make offers. It's not insane to say that we can get value for either of them in a package deal or together. If you have capital to replace them, why not explore the option?
  8. I think that's another reason why the O's haven't signed anyone just yet. They have a ton of prospects down the pipeline, and why would you stifle DL Hall and GrayRod? Kyle Gibson should be there to eat innings early, and at worst we just turn him into a spot starter down the stretch. He's mainly just an insurance policy incase so they don't rush Hall and GrayRod. No one else is an insurance policy, but an investment.
  9. Thank you for clarifying. Tampa does the same thing, which isn't a bad thing. If you can get a good return then I'd say go for it.
  10. Oh you can most certainly do both. The main point I was getting at is that if you're in a budget crunch, then what do you do?
  11. If you're the Orioles and Elias, you've invested in scouting. What would you rather have as fans, someone who outbids for pitching help and shells out a ton of money which leaves us cash strapped for the future, or do you trade excess of what you have for what you need? We can trade Hays and Santander for pitching. Hays has 4 years of control left and Santander has 3 years of control left, for two above average outfielders. We can get creative with packages depending on the return. Personally I'd rather do that and trade off excess goods for pitching rather than sign free agents.
  12. HOW BOUT THEM O'S IN PENNSYLTUCKY, HON?!
