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.

      O’s cap every game

      By Frobby · Posted

      I must be in the minority.  I pay no attention to what uniforms and caps are worn on a given day.  You could ask me five minutes after the game what caps the team wore, and I wouldn’t be able to tell you. But I could tell you what happened in the game in vivid detail.

      Speculating on how the O's handle the pitching logjam

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I don’t see any kind of “logjam”. That would imply some sort of challenge with having too much talent in one place/spot. What we have is a hodgepodge of mediocre to below average pitchers who are very interchangeable in terms of their talents (or lack there of). Of the pitchers that you mentioned, probably Bradish (who we don’t know about right now coming off the elbow injury) and maybe Suarez (very small sample size) are any good.  The rest …. They can be swapped out for one another and I don’t think any real difference is made. I hope Means can be the John Means of 2021. But the reality is that was a long time ago at this point. I don’t think that it is very probably that he will make it through the season and pitch effectively into October and be healthy the whole time. That’s probably pie in the sky/wishful thinking at this point.

      This question was kind os answered today on BaltimoreBaseball.com.  I seem to recall that the choice was scheduled, Friday was black jersey and O's cap (before the city connect) and Saturday was the orange jersey.  Wondering when they changed to starting pitcher's choice.   https://www.baltimorebaseball.com/2024/04/26/midday-mailbag-orioles-wear-black-jerseys-often/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=midday-mailbag-orioles-wear-black-jerseys-often&utm_source=BaltimoreBaseball.com+List&utm_campaign=06dfb0fd98-RSS_MAILCHIMP&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cddc084dff-06dfb0fd98-47594557&mc_cid=06dfb0fd98&mc_eid=f169a521ef

      Most quality major league starter's hold their velocity throughout their starts. They may cruise for a bit, but have it when they want it. Typically command goes long before velocity.

      Do we not want to throw a left hander and take advantage of the spacious left field?

      4/25: Bowie Wins, Only Team Above .500

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Thank goodness a minor league system is not judged on wins and losses, because they are putting many Ws up of late. Delmarva is pretty much an embarrassment right now from the hitting side. The first real wave of international position prospects have been left wanting after the first month or so of the season. The Shorebirds are scoring a league low 2.29 runs per game and slashing a league worse .182/.259/.263/.523. The Tides pitching outside of Povich and McDermott to a lesser extent has been pretty bad minus a few decent relieves in Vespi, Krook and Charles.  Elias/Sig's thought on being able to identify pitching talent through pitch shapes and spin rates through the draft after the 10th round has been a pretty big failure. Armbruster was the flag ship pitcher and he's been a flop this year so far, though I had already seen major red flags from him last year. Not surprisingly these guys struggle at the high levels and why they were available that late. Glad to see Elias made a change in his draft philosophy last year and went after some younger, higher ceiling guys like Forret vs 21-year old juniors in those later rounds.

      Akin currently has a FIP of 1.11. He’s struck out 15 and walked 3 in 10 innings without yielding a homer.  I consider that well.
