  1. I generally get annoyed at Grammar police on these boards... but when I read this post I initially thought Pinto had done something publicly embarrassing! (The sentence should read "Definitely a shame for Pinto")
  2. The woman who tried to pursue the legal case clearly was up to no good. There is video showing her smiling and unharmed after the supposed assault took place. She referred to Bauer as "her next victim" in texts- clearly trying to exploit his fame and fortune. I've never met Bauer or spoken with him. By many people's accounts he's a jerk, opinionated, narcissistic, and could potentially disrupt a clubhouse. I want his pitching for the Orioles, I don't want him for the Orioles.... If I were a last place team, I'd sign him and flip him for good prospects. That's a cheap deal for a top pitcher and as the season wears on and teams suffer casualties, someone will need him and give up prospects for him...
  3. Agree. Not true. Someone will sign him. I think if Gerritt Cole's injury shelves him for a bit, the Yankees might roll the dice...
  4. Did anyone see his 3 inning exhibition? Hit 99 MPH three times in the first inning. Splitter looked unhittable. I hear he's a complete jerk, but the stuff is TOR stuff...
  5. by trade or FA signing.... I think we must add one. Injuries happen. Even if a pitcher is lucky enough to avoid a serious injury, there are always tweaks and minor things that cause starters to miss a start here and there, even things like finger blisters. Second, beyond Wells and Irwin there aren't any starters with track records. We'd be forced to go with Zimmerman, Povich, McDermott, or Seth Johnson....
  6. Changing my vote. Bauer (aside from all of the off the field baggage) pitched only ok in the Japanese league but wasn't totally dominant.... Changing my vote to Blake Snell! Who is also a pipe dream....
  7. Trevor Bauer (I duck at all the rotten tomatoes thrown at me)
  8. Or I'd sign Bauer to a 1 year prove-it deal, but with contract clauses that he can't give any interviews and he must stay off of all social media...
  9. Did they say whether Bradish's injury is distal or proximal? Proximal UCL injury can heal without surgery. Distal almost always results in surgery. I must admit, compare the following 2 rotations: Burnes, Bradish, Rodriguez, Means, Kremer and Burnes, Rodriguez, Kremer, Wells, Irvin. I'd give the first an A. The second a C+. Ouch. I'd sign Ryu to a one year prove-it deal. Then I'd hope and pray. If you sign Montgomery or Snell to a 8 year deal, you'll pay outrageous sums for 5 years of non-pitching...
  10. I've long suspected God hates the Orioles.... ...Now I have proof....
  11. Add Snell!!!! Rotation: Snell Burnes Bradish Rodriguez Means I smell a World Champion!
  12. 1. Bradish 2. Rodriguez 3. Means 4. Kremer 5. best of Irvin/Hall/Wells/Povich/McDermott/Johnson/Zimmerman???? Yikes... definitely need another starter. Just hope we don't have to give up too many prospects.....!
  13. I'm somewhat surprised that there hasn't been more outrage over this. A championship caliber team just added the best hitter and best pitcher available for $1 billion. Yes, I know that is no guarantee of a World Series title.... I never harbored any hope that the Orioles would be in on expensive free agents of that magnitude. But this has gone from ridiculous to outright insanity. MLB is all smiles as the big market teams will do well and generate revenues for MLB. MLB does not care at all about parity, competitive spirit, even competition, ticket prices that fans have to pay, and MLB certainly does not care about any teams outside of NY, California, or Texas. Greed is ruining this sport entirely. Greed among the owners and among the players. It's becoming almost impossible to enjoy the game at this point...
