Well if they end up signing a 1 or 2 year lease extension instead of what is agreed upon in this memorandum, none of this teeth grinding is going to end. People who want to believe he wants to move the team are going to still believe it.

There isn’t going to be any kind of profit sharing. The state has no leverage to demand that. The building is useless unless there is a major league team playing in it. The benefit to the state of that is the positive effect it has on the area as far as jobs, sales tax revenue, etc. So them paying no rent but having to pay for expenses isn’t that shocking. The Ravens will get the same deal. You can argue whether it is worth it to have major league sports or not but it isn’t like they have a choice of tenants to pick from.

The article in the Sun says no lease was signed but a non-binding memorandum. I am not sure what that means. https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/bs-sp-orioles-lease-briefing-20230929-hfycgt755nc35e6fzketaqd34i-story.html

What a difference can a few days make.

Brooks hung on at the end because he needed the paycheck. He was swindled in some business transactions I am sure because of his good nature. At the end of his career her was making the most money he ever had.

He was in his 30’s. He may have been overweight but he was a young man.

Since the Tampa game starts before the Oriole game I am going tonight. 15 rows behind the dugout. I am not going to miss this. I will head out Thursday if necessary but I am hoping to wrap it up tonight. Also to go by the two Brooks statues today just feels right.

JT is GREAT!

NOBODY!!!!! BRING THEM ON!!

I believe the answer to this is yes but I am just checking if they clinch the division sometime midweek could they option Grayson and lets say pitch someone in the minors the final weekend? I am guessing the 10 day in the minors requirement would not apply.

If we get the lucky number to two or less tomorrow I am going to find two seats behind the dugout for Wednesday. I am not getting any younger and going to enjoy this one.

The Yankees have too many resources at their disposal to have those terrible seasons. They have lost 90 or more games three times since 1913. Never 100 games in that time frame. They won 99 last year and to Yankee fans this year feels like our 100 loss seasons. They haven’t won a World Series since 2009 which is how their fans measure success. Baseball unlike Football isn’t a level playing field.

They are eliminated.

The Orioles are 14-9 in September. That is a .609 winning percentage. Tired or not they are doing just fine.

They will not spend the money to get that type of starter. They may try to trade for one under a current contract but they will not bid in free agency to sign one.

This Cleveland team seems to make much more contact than most teams. I watched every pitch and if pitches like that I will take it every time.

That is your second too sane post for the Game Thread. I am not a moderator but I am warning you!

Again I will say it for all the ones who won’t. A great managed game from the Manager of the Year, Brandon Hyde!

You have to pay that bill!

What a tremendous performance from John Means when the team needed it.

Yes they will let him go 90-100 pitches and that will be it.

Just to point out Tampa plays their last home game of the regular season tomorrow. The rest are on the road in Boston and Toronto. They are 42-34 on the road.

Robo Umps are coming, it is just a matter of time now. Change just doesn’t happen overnight.

These statements are too sane for the Game Thread.
