It's just kinda insane to me to blame Dan for Hall's issues. If you know you can't develop him, trade him. To have him just sitting there not making progress year after year, it's baffling.

That might not be best example.

It's just another rant thread after a loss.

He had the excuse that his arm kept breaking.

If Hall and Grayson aren't ready who does that fall on? First round picks, liked by industry sources, been in the system forever. Why aren't they ready yet? We know Elias has a bias toward drafting hitters, is he emphasizing hitting development?

Can't say the current regime has done much to develop him. Which I think is a lot more important than who drafted him.

He's deloading. Which is something I didn't know existed a month ago.

The hat could be better but I think the actual jersey is pretty sweet.

Yea I think that was the one. My complaint was solely about production since Moose decided to attack the production values of the stuff I listen to. Even the noise rock I like, it's supposed to sound like that.

I want to bring up prospects.

Can they? Sure. Will Hyde let them?

Not talking about the quality of the music. Wasn't at least one of their early albums infamous for how poor the production was? And of course the trash can lids from St. Anger.

I'm pleased with the hot streak but yea, everything points to it just being a super fun run.

Hey now, most of the stuff I like is very professionally produced. Even the early Pixies stuff had Steve Albini doing production. Devo's first album was Brian Eno. Wet Leg's debut was produced by the hottest producer in England right now and sounds great. Get more accurate with your criticism. I'm not big on Metallica.

Cost is relative. If I have a lot more of something than I need it isn't "expensive" for me to give some of it up.

Wasn't going for original, much like your taste in music.

I guess you hit the head when Mateo is up? Cause that's about as pretty as your mom. And yes I know he had a hit last inning, Mountcastle gets the occasional hit as well.

Oriole First baseman has two hits and the only run scored. Gurgi - The O's First baseman on the IL is the problem!

Dude is on the IL and you still can't stop ripping on him. Geez man, he's not the problem today.

Illinois is in New England now? When did that happen?

The differences are numerous. Can be younger Can be less expensive Eliminates the possibility of choice from the player Can be a shorter duration commitment It makes no sense at all to just mention free agents that under performed as a reason to not trade for someone.

The fan refrain: I want someone good with years of team control left but I don't want to give anything up. The O's have been drafting one side and neglecting the other. They will need to trade from that surplus at some point.

I wanted Bassitt who has been healthy at least and didn't sign for a ton. Funny how people keep mentioning free agents and not players that would be traded for.

My guess? He's got years of team control left Could be acquired for little prospect capital Left handed
