  1. I think that if he thought a deal needed to be closed he would have pushed for it and it would be done by now.
  2. They knew all of this a month ago. Trying to make a deal after make this stuff public knowledge isn't the smart play.
  3. I would not compare my time as an Oriole fan with actual abuse.
  4. He also has said that most of the profit is realized when the team is sold, and the examples he cited were how the value grew over decades.
  5. The Angelo's family sure made a lot off of tobacco!
  6. Sure. I'm not judging, just stating what I've seen, mostly when I was in the Army.
  7. i figured it had already happened a decade ago. I've never know chewers to respect anti-tobacco rules in the first place.
  8. I just don't think the National media needs to spend more time on them. Yes he had a great year and it was noted, everyone doesn't need to mention it, The both of them have received plenty of attention. They do have 29 other teams with good young prospects to talk about,
  9. It's bed time but I'll give you this resource to peruse. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/jaws_P.shtml It looks at seven year blocks instead of 10. I think you can make a case for peak Johnson and Clemens, of course some of the counting stats won't look as impressive but that's because of the five man rotation.
  10. First place I looked. Walter Johnson had a stretch from 1910-1919 that was worth over 100 rWAR (led the league seven times) and won 265 games.
  11. You sure you don't mean He's an Oriole so I'm going to look for anything that could vaguely be construed as disrespect? No one has been anything but laudatory toward the young man. How much digital ink would they have to spill for you to be satisfied? For the most part I've seen him listed as the #2 Catching prospect in the minors. It's one season of data spread out over multiple small sample sizes.
  12. The lowest ranking is 27. Was he ranked by anyone last year? He's not being overlooked. He's rocketing up the lists.
  13. No one is overlooking Basallo. That's nonsense.
  14. Are they playing home games in one of those parks this year?
  15. How long has it been since a Knuckleball pitcher had a "successful" season? Last I can think of is Dickey in 2017. 10-10, ERA+ of 102 FIP of 4.72. I don't know if guys can really get it done with a K rate around 6 in today's game.
  16. It's not exactly rare for someone under the age of 21 to be on a ML team when they make the playoffs. Manny for instance.
