They can still call him up after the game as long as it’s before midnight.

These Guardians feel like the 2014 Tigers to me. They worry me. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing them again in October.

Pretty cool that he’s from Portland, Maine. I visited there with my girls a few years ago and it’s definitely a cool place. Chris Holt is a national treasure that should be protected at all costs.

The guy has a great chance at winning AL MOY this year. Why wouldn't he be the manager moving forward?

Yep. They’re gonna promote Gunnar and Grayson. Brandon will win MOY. Adley will win ROY.

Adley has been hyped for years. Everyone knew of him.

I agree. Too many people underneath him putting up better numbers.

Ahhh yes, the return of these threads. It’s been a long time!

The biggest thing that stands out to me are the tablets in the dugout. The hitting coaches and pitching coaches are teaching after at-bats and between innings and they're using those tablets. I don't know if it's video or whatever data, but whatever it is, it's working. Elias and Sig are building a monster. I recall Buck's notebook, but never a tablet in his tenure. I think Brandon uses a notebook.

So I went and found it. Looks pretty tough. They literally have to notify MLB of their every move.

I've always wondered how MLB manages this program in the offseason. Especially with the foreign guys. Granted, I've never actually wondered enough to do the research.

Dan would have Westburg up to play 2B. Buck would have still ran Odor out there. You wont see Westburg or Henderson until Urias, Mateo, or Odor goes on the DL. That not how Elias rolls. Whatever happens this year is a bonus to the plan.

It's been a hell of a run for you and this board. I think I found this place in the spring of 07, so I've been looking forward to your content for 15-plus years. I'm glad you're feeling better about everything. I think Elias is right about the next decade.

No more references to genitalia or this whole dumpster fire of a thread will get locked. We all love the O's and want to believe, but y'all need to get a room with all the genitalia talk.

@Sports Guy is gonna have a stroke. It finally happened.

Good for Trey. He has a real shot at a ring this year.

There will always be questions about his health. While it can be managed, it can't be cured. I grew up around someone with it and it comes and goes when it wants. If I'm a GM of another team, I may be leery of giving up too much for someone I could lose for an extended amount of time to surgery at any moment.

I remember a time when we would be reading various articles of the same nature about the Orioles. Say what you want about Elias, but he is turning this organization into a well oiled machine.

There was apparently a deal in place but was nixed by the Trump administration for whatever reason they had. *We can be adults. Please do not make this political. https://www.npr.org/2019/04/08/711234347/trump-administration-kills-baseball-deal-with-cuba#:~:text=The Trump administration has canceled,in the U.S. and Canada. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/26472986/white-house-scuttles-mlb-cuban-agreement

Me either. I realized it like 20 minutes ago. lol

It is for a high schooler. Torkelson played college.

Should have been by like at least 7-8 feet.

He’s actually decent on the radio. Far better than on TV. I’m still pissed that we had to listen to hIm call the no-hitter instead of Thorne or Brown.

Baz has just been shut down with an elbow sprain. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/rays-shane-baz-shut-down-four-weeks-injection-elbow-injured-list.html

A definite momentum buster if you ask me. Somehow MLB knew the Orioles would be pushing .500 this year and this was designed to stymy their chances. Cito sucks, and so does whoever approved this schedule.
