  1. I’m retiring from the OH after 12 years. I am not pleased with the site owner’s temper tantrums, toothless boycotts, inherently racist ideals, and apology messages that miss the mark. Have some conviction in your life, Tony: stop being an O’s fan if giving black people equal treatment under the law is that offensive to you. Birdland is better off without your support. -ET

  2. Well heck, I've been saying Akin is not a nugget for a long time.
  3. Probably. You kids and your trophies.
  4. I said it was fifth best last night and this morning it’s sixth.
  5. They don’t give out awards to “hypothetically better“ teams.
  6. Fifth best according to fangraphs EDIT: overnight it changed to sixth best
  7. That's like ignoring your A1C numbers because why complicate eating a Twinkie?
  8. Wieters 2.0 Severino .6 Walker .6 Nunez .6 Schoop 6.1 Alberto 1.7 Turner 20.0 Ruiz .6 Machado 32.0 Valaika .6 Yaz .6 Mountcastle .6 Nick 2.0 Mullins .6 Villar 8.2 Santander .6 Cruz 12.0 Sisco .6 If we're just looking at lineup salary, there's 13x advantage there. Could be why we didn't keep all those guys.
  9. It would appear that Zach Plesac has worn out his welcome in Cleveland. It is my understanding that Clevinger has been remorseful and sincere with his apology, but Plesac “doesn’t get it”. Plesac filmed his half-apology for social media while driving a car, explaining that he does care about the safety others. Adam Plutko and Olly Perez have been outspoken as club leaders that they would opt out of the season if action was not taken against Plesac and Clevinger for going out on the town during a series against the White Sox. Cleveland took disciplinary action by optioning both pitchers to the alternate training site. The Indians could certainly use Plesac on the mound, but the action has the added effect of stalling Plesac’s service clock, putting a rare positive spin on the club decision to manipulate service time. Tonight’s tweet is the first inkling that the Indians might be done with Plesac, and the locker room dynamic irreparable.
  10. I definitely didn’t need the green text for this one.
  11. Again, we aren't talking about bringing back prospects.
  12. We are talking about trading Santander and Oriole prospects for Mike Clevinger.
  13. Why not just keep Santander and the prospects then?
  14. List of 1st round picks since 2016 that have changed teams: Taylor Trammell '16 SDP->CIN Trevor Bauer Eric Lauer '16 SDP->MIL Trent Grisham/Zach Davies Dane Dunning '16 WAS->CWS Adam Eaton Blake Rutherford '16 NYY->CWS Todd Frazier/David Robertson/ Tommy Kahnle Anthony Kay '16 NYM->TOR Marcus Stroman Jeter Downs '17 LAD->BOS Mookie Betts/David Price Shane Baz '17 PIT->TBR Chris Archer J.B. Bukauskas '17 HOU->ARI Zack Greinke Xavier Edwards '18 SDP->TBR Tommy Pham Jarred Kelenic '18 NYM->SEA Robinson Cano/Edwin Diaz Matthew Libertore '18 TBR->STL Jose Martinez/Randy Arozarena Josiah Gray '18 CIN->LAD Homer Bailey Will Wilson '19 LAA->SFG PTBNL
  15. If by this comment you mean it looks like the Orioles are winning too much and will jettison Santander to lose more games, I disagree. If you mean the Orioles will trade him for a first round draft pick, then yeah I can see that.
  16. By my count, the Orioles have exactly 100 homegrown international players in their system right now; Bencosme is the fifth youngest at 17y & 8m. Francisca is 32nd youngest at about 18y exactly. This would mean that one-third of our system is under 18yo.
  17. Brett Gardner. For a respected, tenured, career Yankee, he’s completely likeable.
