Put on a bra, Schneider. Put those puppies away.

I can’t stand Schneider. What a doofus.

Yesssssssss!!!!!!

Hit that one hard. Maybe we’re back to Bad Luck Mountcastle.

Back to back innings getting the first two on. LFG.

Ok Mateo steal 2nd.

If G rod can get through 6 without allowing more damage this isn’t gonna be so bad. I mean there are going to be the posters here who think this is a terrible start because he doesn’t look like a Cy Young contender but those people are a bit silly.

In fairness he was in elementary school when Griffey came up, high school when A-Rod was coming up and probably just out of college when Trout was drafted. So from what he’s actually SEEN, he’s probably telling the truth.

Damn we wasted that.

Omg omg omg Elias is saying he’s never seen anything like Jackson Holiday Omg Omg omggggggggggg

Here we go!

Westy gets it started.

I will crack a beer when Kiermaier retires.

Just got home. How’s G-Rod looking?

It’s a good day when LJ Hoes gets a mention.

Thanks, DB!

I guess so. We don't know what injuries will pop up between now and then. Flaherty is a bit of a wild card for me. We've got guys that are approaching their career highs in innings. We don't know if/when Coloumbe will be back. We don't know if/when Means will be back.

Too much time between now and the postseason to start thinking about this, IMO.

I don't think Angelos wants to do it. I personally think they're a little gun shy about the Chris Davis deal and how that backfired.

Well, a couple things here... Yes, it can get a little silly. We don't know if the young stars WON'T take the Acuna-like deals. We also don't know if any of them have been offered. But let's assume for a second that they haven't been offered. Let's assume for a second that the Orioles haven't offered an extension to Henderson, Adley, G-Rod, Westy, etc. It's hard for a guy to turn down a deal for 8 years, 160 million...no matter what. No matter who you are. Especially if you're in your early to mid 20s and that's money that can set you up for the rest of your life. And your kids, and their kids. It's practically guaranteeing that your family will be set up for generations to come if it's all taken care of properly. These guys also know that it could all go south tomorrow. Gunnar could tear an ACL and not be the same player moving forward. He could turn into Chris Davis. He could get cancer like Trey Mancini and not be able to mount a successful comeback like he did. He might want to wait it out and hit free agency...but to stare a couple hundred million in the face right now and turn it down? That's some balls. You're right, the Red Sox let Mookie walk and they were kind of dumb for doing that, too. That's a guy who should have spent his career in one uniform. Yeah, he might not be the player at the end of his career that he was at the beginning, but there's a certain type of value that comes with spending a career with one team. You're also correct, they're investing heavily in development and scouting and all that stuff...but that also means that a guy like Gunnar can be expendable. That in 5 or 6 years there's another guy ready to take his spot. I mean, people are saying that Jackson Holiday is going to be ready to play here next year, what's that mean for Gunnar and Westy? In a few years, are we going to have guys that can take all of their places? Do we care if Gunnar walks in a few years and there's some hot **** prospect coming up behind him?

That's fair, I don't blame you for thinking that way.

Am I the only one here who finds bitching about the Angelos family exhausting? Like, it's fine for a couple hours on a random afternoon but days and days of it is just a bit much.

Reminds me of that old joke that's attributed to Winston Churchill...but has also been attributed to a lot of others, too. A man asks a woman if she'd sleep with him for a million dollars. And she says yes. And then he asks if she'd sleep with him for 5 dollars. Her: (Highly offended) What kind of woman do you think I am? Him: We've already established that. Now we're just haggling over the price.

I agree with your final statement. I don't believe that moving the team to Nashville isn't on the table...although the likelihood is very small, I'd be surprised if it hasn't been discussed by him.

I think the people of Baltimore would riot and I don't think MLB would look too kindly on leaving Camden Yards. It is still a crown jewel of ballparks and I don't know what good it would do for JA to build a new stadium outside the city. Quite frankly, I'd rather have him just move the team to Nashville at that point.
