Did Akin get hurt? What the heck happened to him?

Isn't it funny how most of us expected the Orioles offense to be terrible this year especially with Mancini being gone. The Orioles have been a very pleasant surprise this year. I'm looking forward to next year.

Since Stewart was a high draft pick, I really hope he pans out. I think the Orioles should have Trey Mancini play first base once he comes back. Stewart could rotate between DH and the outfield.

Talk about a class act. Holy cow. Nice job Richard.

With the coronavirus out of control, will the 2020 season be shortened, postponed or cancelled? The NBA has already suspended their season.

It is comments like that why I won't miss this message board.

On November 1st, I finally got married for the first time in my life. I am 34. Now that I am married, my priorities have changed and I won't be following the Orioles as much as I used to. I can totally understand Tony why you would want to shut the site down and reshift your focus some place else. There are more important things in life than baseball.

I am not real thrilled about the Orioles exposing Sedlock or the other pitcher. You hate to lose young pitching especially when the Orioles pitching is so bad. The Orioles have several guys on the 40 man roster who could be bumped off. Why not bump them off instead of risk losing two pitchers?

I sure hope that she wasn't involved in the cheating scandal. Mike needs to be careful who he hires from the Astros.

What's the hold up on the coaching staff? Why haven't the Orioles announced the coaching staff yet? Who are the candidates to join the coaching staff?

Means, Bundy, ?,?,?

Whose idea was it to make Hunter a reliever? Hunter is an absolute beast as a reliever. I see an All Star in the making. It is about time that the Orioles are finally reaping the rewards of drafting him.

If the Angels made him an offer, you would think that he would choose them. Maybe Oakland has an offer out as well.

If they send Chance to Norfolk, I am going to be very upset. Chance deserves to make the team.

I am really surprised that the Orioles let Josh Osich go. Wasn't he looking pretty good so far this spring?

I don't know why Diaz couldn't turn out to be as good as Adam Jones if not better.

Since the Orioles are hoping to rebuild their team through the draft, wouldn't the proposed draft changes absolutely kill them?

I absolutely love the thought of having a DH in the National League. That sure would make inter league play more fair for American League teams. It is also a safety thing when you have a pitcher batting for the first time in a year. There have been countless pitchers that have got hurt during inter league play.

I don't see why lowering the mound is even being talked about. Just leave the mound alone. Can you imagine how much the game will change if a reliever has to pitch to a minimum of three batters? Talk about a major change.

Would lowering the mound help the hitters or pitchers? The draft changes would certainly affect the Orioles in a negative way. I like the thought of adding a 26 man to the roster. I also like the September rule changes http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/25935056/mlb-players-discussing-rule-changes-alter-game

How can you not be excited the direction the organization is headed? I am absolutely pumped up. Mike Elias is going to lead the Orioles to a world series championship. I would bet money on that.

This makes the Orioles look absolutely dumb if you ask me. It is so frustrating to have guys like Gausman and Arrieta dominate for other teams. I expect Gausman to be a very good pitcher for the Braves. I still cannot believe the Orioles traded him especially for the players they got in return.

Fry was absolutely sizzling tonight. I absolutely love him.
