  1. Would like to see Flaherty not be completely useless.
  2. Those Sumerians couldn't hit a curveball, I bet.
  3. I got your octal right here, Drungo!
  4. I want to see HK in the field to see what that looks like. I want him to get starts each of the next three days. I'm mainly just hoping that everyone makes it through healthy.
  5. I keep forgetting that Paul Richards was the GM before he was the manager for some reason. Good call.
  6. I have long said that if the Orioles win the World Series in 5 games, there will be people on here upset that it wasn't done in 4. Maybe we'll get to find out if that theory is correct this year.
  7. Obviously his chapter as GM isn't over, but is he already the best GM in Orioles history? Yes, hyperbole, recency bias, etc. There's a lot of great GMs in the history of the team; Harry Dalton, Lee MacPhail, Frank Cashen, Henry Peters, Pat Gillick and Dan Duquette. I am sure I am probably missing a name or two. But when you consider that a lot of those names weren't competing in an era where free agency wasn't a thing or when free agency was in it's infancy, I think Elias is in a class of his own. Gillick and Duquette were "win now" types that didn't put too much of an emphasis on the minor league system, even though DD's fingerprints are on the team that won the division last night. But I always think of DD as a guy who was fixing an airplane while it was flying. Taking into consideration the amount that other teams in the division spend and that the system was in the lower third of practically every ranking when he took over, it's hard not to look at Elias as the best GM in the history of the franchise. Going from 52 wins two years ago to 100 wins and a division title in two years is something no one has done in baseball history, IIRC. It's been a complete overhaul and it's a new "Oriole Way." Like I said, his chapter isn't over yet but given his circumstances (read: dealing with John Angelos) I do believe he's the best we've had.
  8. Elias is the man. Great interview.
  9. That’s not water they’re drinking out of the homer hose!
  10. Remember when the Orioles were bad for baseball? Hahaha
  11. What a great win. What a great team. This is awesome.
  12. Kevin Brown acting like it’s rare for a winning baseball team having a mismash of players from different backgrounds is adorable.
