No effing way. This guy is untouchable on a team that already clearly doesn’t give a #@$% right now. How many middle fingers can you give fans? They’re already pretty apathetic. Do you want to alienate them and make sure it takes longer to make them ever care again?

My hunch is he got hurt. He had to run and make a tricky cross body throw on a chopper of a ball that ended up foul. The throw ended up pretty off the mark if I recall right. Never saw him again after.
Dude is wayyyyy bigger than anyone else who was on the field too.

Nunez strikes me as a guy who is fine for teams like this but his shaky defense and all or nothing at bats don’t have me expecting him around even a few years from now.
Santander and Severino possibly, but I’d be less surprised if the 2023 Orioles still had anyone who is on the 25man today. (Means possibly but he’s on the IL)
Those guys may be the most we see left from today.

I think Roch was more speculative. Maybe something will change in a couple of months. But it won’t be significant.

NOw that he is here it is absurd to even consider playing Rickard over Hays. Rickard may be on his way to being the next TJ McFarland in that Buck will keep going to the well for something not there.

The Orioles offically own MASN, and the Nats literally can't go anywhere else with their TV rights besides MASN due to how the deal was structured when they moved to DC in 2005
I stand corrected then.
Do you think MASN can pay out potentially in excess of $100m though? If they can't pay up...
-
Not sure thats the case. Orioles don't own MASN, the Angelos clan does -- I believe.
There will also be another appeal and then the negotiations. But my guess is this a step towards MASN going away. Or at least the Nationals getting on CSN instead.

Bet the Orioles are sellers now...
Today the Washington Nationals won a major legal victory when a New York State appeals court ruled the Nationals are entitled to have the amount of rights fees the team is paid for television broadcast of its games be determined by a committee of Major League Baseball owners and executives.
The decision arises from a long-running dispute between the Nationals and the regional television sports network MASN, which is super-majority owned and wholly controlled by the Baltimore Orioles. MASN broadcasts both Nationals and Orioles games, pursuant to a 2005 agreement entered when MLB moved the former Montreal Expos to Washington. The agreement expressly provides that any unresolved fee disputes between the Nationals and MASN should be decided by MLB’s Revenue Sharing Definitions Committee (the “RSDC”), composed of three MLB team owners and executives appointed by the MLB Commissioner. The RSDC’s membership changes periodically.
In today’s decision, the Appellate Division ruled that MASN and the Orioles are bound by the contractual commitment they made to have rights fees disputes arbitrated before the RSDC. This will allow the Nationals to proceed to a new arbitration before the RSDC of the rights fees for 2012-2016, as well as an arbitration to determine the fees for the forthcoming five-year period of 2017-2021. The disputed amounts exceed more than $100 million for each of these five year periods.

Dickerson is among the least of the problems. He's had some pretty gutsy sends that paid off. You'll never be perfect in that job, and sometimes the OF will just make a good throw to beat you. But if you're complaining about sending Hardy last night then you're just looking for something to complain about and someone to scapegoat.
Meanwhile all those people bashing Dickerson, uh, did you guys forget about his work as infield coach too? Or have the Orioles become complete hacks with the gloves around the diamond too?
Out of all the coaches on the staff Dickerson has separated himself as the very best relative to anyone else. Russell might be the only other one in the conversation.

Imagine if they weren't so unprofessional and complacent...

Man, I'm seriously thinking about going even though it's a work/school night at Bawlmer is 2 hours away.
I have to be up at 4am the next day for work. And I'm in.

No way I'm missing it.

Can we lock this silly thread now?

At this point, it's your own fault if she gets on your nerves and you still pay attention to her. If there's someone who is that grating, misinformed, and insulting, I simply no longer pay attention to them. If they're a writer, I stop reading what they have to say. If they're on the radio, I find another station and don't turn back until they're gone. If they suck at Twitter, I stop following them. The quickest way to render a media figure irrelevant is to stop paying attention to them. Nothing good comes from alienating your audience, but I really don't understand those who allow themselves to be repeatedly alienated, too.

At some point the bullpen is going to collapse if the rotation keeps struggling though. Adair needs to make some fixes, fast.

Wowwwwwww *SMH*

I LOVE me some MASN2 HD. Not regular MASN HD, since I don't get that channel. But I do get MASN2 HD. Giddy up!

If you work in PR and you want to pitch a story to radio news people. Call me three times during morning drive and I'll go off like I'm Jules Winfield picking up itty bitty pieces of skull and brain. Like Winnebago Man, the **** will hit the fan.

Scott's short hair. Looks like he should have stuck with bald. In a few years he'll have no choice.

Me, Tony, and Scott got together last night. We may as well lock this thread up right now because I doubt it'll ever be topped.

This thread is still around? And at 30 pages? Interesting.

This thread still exists? WTH??

It would also be a bad indication that Elias didn’t learn anything from what happened to his old colleague in the LCS celebration.
