Or the 1969 Orioles.

How many more wins do you think we'd have had in 2023 if the wall wasn't moved back? Would we have broken the 1969 record of 109?

WAR is the equivalent of the gnostic gospels, from the Greek, gnostikos, or "having knowledge." (I knew that seminary training would finally pay off!)

While imperfect, they are much better than the "eye test" alone.

This is a bit like arguing how many angels can fit on the head of a pin.

Any truth to the rumor that you've requested “R. Kelly” as your new screen name? Sorry, I couldn't resist.

You should have to run laps for this thread title and post!

Wait? This is an April Fools joke? I just ordered his jersey. Curse you Moose!

Hicks looked completely lost in his at-bats against Rodriguez.

I picked a good day to renew my MLBTV package!

I've got a good feeling about this season.

Given a choice, I'll take better production over better talent. What does preferring talent over production even mean? We lose more games, but look better doing it. Sounds like you're making a News Max invalid deductive argument.

Beautifully written Roy. Your words speak for a lot of us who were touched by his kindness and inspired by his example. He was one in a million and there will never be another quite like him.

He also brought in Eve Rosenbaum as Assistant GM.

Elias must be playing some kind of 3-D Vulcan chess with this move.

I think Mateo should concentrate on crowding the plate and inducing more HBP to up his on base percentage.

There’s a lot that could be said, and has been said about Peter Angelos and his ownership of the Orioles. But as Tony has pointed out, now is not really the time for that. I remember when Angelos bought the team and how relieved and grateful I was that someone from Baltimore was buying it and was committed to keeping it in Baltimore. I’m not from Baltimore, but I spent three years living near there when my Dad was stationed at Ft. Meade. He took me to my first Orioles game at Memorial Stadium when I was 5 years old in 1966 and that was the beginning of a lifetime bond with the city and the team. I’m profoundly grateful that Angelos kept the team in Baltimore. I'm glad someone who was such an integral part of the life and fabric of the city ended up owning the team. He was a larger than life character, and faults and all, he was as quintessentially Baltimorean as Old Bay Seasoning, Blue Crabs, and Natty Boh. RIP Mr. Angelos.

I'm more excited about Mayo, but I'm glad to see O'Hearn is having a solid spring. Gotta like the nearly 100 point difference between his .306 batting average and his .405 OBP.

You left out pitching. He can't pitch, either.

I shudder to think where we'd be without Elias!

It's as if there's a correlation between performing well and ticket sales. Best get the boys down in the lab working on this.

But wait. You don't have Apple TV??? If we didn't need it Apple wouldn't make it for us. Sorry... I'm an Apple Fan Boy from way back. But seriously, if I didn't have Apple TV anyway it would be frustrating. I live in Charleston, WV so Baltimore is about a 7 hour drive for me so MLB TV is a must for me. I probably watched more games on MLBTV last year than I ever have in the past. I did enjoy the Apple TV coverage as a change of pace.

If Albert and Andrew Suarez make the team, what do they wear on the back of their jerseys?

I beg to differ, sir. They have both have pitched 5 scoreless innings, and their first names both begin with "A."

I don't just like this trade a "little." I like it a lot!
