Casey Stern "O's ownership doesn't want to win they just want your money"

Listening to 105.7 tonight and Casey Stern from MLB Network was on. He repeated what a lot O's fans like me feel. He said " O's ownership doesn't want to win they just want your money." I am pleading with the moderators not to delete my post. I know I am get attacked by the apologists who think we are just fine losing the arguably best reliever in club history, a gold glove right fielder, and the AL home run champ. No one in the local media has the guts to call out Angelos like this. They are all afraid of losing their advertising. That is how King Peter works. Kudos to Casey Stern!!!

If only Stern had the "sources" Rosenthal had during the winter meeting DD/Os hostage crisis.

I prefer the chess match DD plays, knowing we can play again tomorrow. (Switching parlor gangs now) If we pushed all our chips into the center and bust, there are no more hands we can play.

We don't delete posts that are true. If Casey said this, then the post can stay. He hates the Orioles. He's a jerk. But hey. Have a take. Make some noise. Get down tonight.

I know this is not a subliminal Wang Chung reference, but it's now stuck in my head.

Sigh.

I don't live in Baltimore, but wasn't there a local nutcase with a hobby radio station that would do that every sweeps period?

When the team had lost for 14 years in a row, my six dollars and my home brought food and drink were a great value.

Imagine how I feel about that now.

It's kind of funny. The fact that we were so aggressive at the deadline and willing to make a trade for 2 months of a relief pitcher (in what some baseball talking heads said was the biggest steal of the deadline for Boston), is now used against us. That same relief pitcher is now evidence of our refusal to go for it and try to win.

Casey Stern is a Mets fan. A Mets fan. Now you figure it out. How those Wilpons for owners bud? Their best friend was Bernard Madoff.

I dont disagree with your take on Casey....With that said I do believe the Angelos family cares more about making money & or protecting the MASN gold mine to spend in free agency.

I'm disappointed that they let Markakis & Cruz walk without having a real game plan to replace them. We heard all around the winters meeting that they were looking at this guy and that guy as an option to Cruz and Markakis. They we watched those sign elsewhere as well...We watched as other teams have made trades only to hang onto 6 SPs and three top rated pitching prospects.

I'm not counting on anything from Davis and Machado at this point and to expect that team to do as well or better next year minus Nick & Nelson is quite optimistic in my mind.

If only we could lock up our own version of Granderson and give up our draft pick to sign our Cuddyer. That would be proof that our ownership has us going in the right direction!

Perfectly ok post. It's fine to be terribly negative at this moment. Come August, we will be hanging on every game again. With that great hope that this will be the year.

    • Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that. 
    • The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.
    • Looks maybe concussion related. 
    • How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.
    • I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made. 
    • Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
