I voted Glenn, but honestly didn't think through SG's point of likely failed development. I still think its Glenn though. We could have been a much different team heading into the mid 90s. The Chris Davis contract shouldn't be as big of a deal as it is. In modern MLB, you've got to be able to mitigate or fix these mistakes, and be willing to eat all/some of the costs. While the contract itself was a disaster and a waste (I think most said that at the time), the team should have moved on in any direction at this point but we are a cheap, poorly run franchise who values staying afloat rather than building a competitive team.

I have invested about zero in this team recently, no expectations, just have some fun and build. Seeing this game from Dylan just sends me into a hole. I am so happy for him but damn, this team really cant catch a break.

Glad OH is sticking around. I hope everyone can forget the last 24 hours and focus on baseball.
-
I would if I could. I hope something gets rained or something and some is on a national broadcast. With YES pulling off most TV options and no games against the Mets I won’t see much Os this year. Was banking on tonight’s game being on TV given it’s Boston’s opener. Boo.

Boh

I can’t think of five times politics interfered with discussion in the 17 or so years I’ve been around here. I wanted to reply last night but thought I’d wait. I don’t even know what MLB has “done”, I guess I don’t pay close enough attention. Whatever it is I can’t imagine It would impact talking about our Birds.

Well, thank god we have last names on the backs of our jerseys.

Perhaps we are Brining in Puig.

I love it and hope its carried over into future seasons. In a 162 game there are far too many 10+ inning games that are completely meaningless, nobody is watching, and the players are just getting tired. Tradition!! Who cares. Id rather have meaningful baseball with fewer long 1-1 ties than continue down the path of purging viewers and fans because games take forever and you ran out of pitchers 3 hours ago. Id even be fine with ties (gasp!).

Poll: Will baseball actually finish the season?
MikeAD replied to interloper's topic in Orioles Talk
I am torn between the season never starting and them somehow making it a few games. I think/voted the latter will happen but there will be obvious signs during "spring training" that they shouldn't play. -
Understood but like SNY and YES arent beginning to break even. I dont know what MASN shows or how they are doing.
-
Lets just say nobody is buying or placing Ads for the 8th showing of an old milestone or playoff game, or worse a video game stream.
-
Not sure which is more likely, no season at all or they get a handful of games before extended disaster. I just don't understand how this benefits anyone except cutting into losses for tv providers and ownership.
-
Lord knows we haven't done this enough in the last 12 years lol. I'd leave them both off and write in Gary Cates from Delmarva

I feel like you cant go wrong with the top 3: Rutschman, Witt and Vaughan, outside of Witt going to college instead. If you have an idea Witt won't go play for Oklahoma, definitely a case to be made for him considering age. We are in a great position here to not mess this up!!
