  1. Time for Matt to go…he is worse than Ubaldo and Tillman at the end of their stays combined
  2. That last line was my only point. I learned my lesson with Matt…Adley is going to have to show me, over the coming years, if he is Johnny Bench or Johnny Flaherty lol.
  3. Did you say that back then? That he wasn’t the be all and end all? I didn’t .. I was in for the HOF career hook, line and sinker.
  4. There was no more frenzied and hyped anticipation than when Matt Wieters was a prospect. Doesn’t matter what Adley looks like, it only matters what he does and thus far he has produced less in the minors than Matt did. Is he going to be a perennial AllStar with a HOF career? Pretty unlikely given the odds against. I will be very, very happy with a Joe Mauer or Buster Posey career production but it is not a given. Nothing in life is.
  5. “Pitching at the top of a playoff rotation sometime soon?” It would be helpful first to have at least one other guy that can pitch. Lol
  6. Agreed...for me, us getting rid of cable has meant no MASN, and I am in a blackout area so no MLB TV either. But frankly I have not missed watching this season at all
  7. At least I don’t have to watch Chris Davis anymore.
  8. Bring back Buck ...he would still wheel out Davis to first
  9. I agree with much of this, in particular believe that Hyde and staff need to go. Bring back Buck lol
  10. Avila was hired in summer 2015 ...Elias was hired in Mid Nov 2018 Elias had essentially no ability to impact in the initial 2018 offseason compared to someone coming on in summer like Avila did so basically Avila has had 6 offseasons and Elias has had two with one of them being COVID No comparison imho. If we get to end of 2023 season still in last place then yes.
  11. I agree....I think the next announcement could well be an MRI.
  12. I know which jersey I am wearing from here on out...John Means saw my brother’s hospital video and sent him a personal video message ...how awesome..I love baseball
  13. Thanks so much... Scott had also just been awarded the Officer of the Year award by the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation for his work in their Badges for Baseball program for the last 13 years. Scott played at Towson for Billy Hunter and has just retired after 30 plus years as first a Baltimore City and then NC DARE officer. https://www.instagram.com/p/CObA5g7L7SP/?igshid=a02f385g9178
  14. My younger brother is in the hospital with COVID and he was so thrilled , as we all are, with the no hitter yesterday. His son, a radio show broadcaster in Winston Salem, posted this selfie video and it got picked up. He and I are Os fans for all our lives. Please keep him in your prayers, he is doing a little better each day https://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2021/5/6/22422742/john-means-no-hitter-fan-hospital-covid
  15. Printing costs...same way with menus in restaurants which have been vanishing in lieu of a scannable link on the table
  16. My younger brother Scott was a Baltimore city police officer then for years was a police officer in Nc and is retiring tomorrow..in college, he played for Billy Hunter at Towson and was the college media guy...to make a long story short , Floyd Rayford became a friend and Eddie too really liked my brother..so my nephew got Eddie on Cameo to do a retirement greeting for him Happy Birthday to Eddie Eddie the MAN! Hey check out this Cameo video! ? https://v.cameo.com/e/O4lBKojwaeb
  17. It is a “mathematical algorithm” that claims it is a “projection” but it’s “mathematical algorithm” mainly “projects” estimates that are often wrong. I have never found ZIPS very useful as a fan. Are there any articles out there that have retrospectively studied the accuracy of these predictions?
  18. Oh yes, those are no problem...in fact, I might have him play both split squad games.. three innings one place, then haul him over to the other location for a few innings.
  19. Well played, Chris! If I am Hyde, he sits every single game I am writing out the lineup.
  20. Congratulations to Kim Ng! I was a fan of hers getting the Os job!!
  21. This story makes little sense to me. Do organizations have zero input over what their employees do just after giving them 5 million? How does getting a degree right now advance his baseball production for the Orioles?
  22. Lol...he can hit his 389 homers from both sides....that would be OK.
