  1. Finally… but that performer was worse than can be acceptable. Elias needs to replenish this bullpen RIGHT NOW
  2. This is the most despicable bullpen performance I have seen maybe ever ..
  3. One daggone inning without 5 runs is all we ask of this pretty useless bullpen not named Felix or Cano. Sheesh ..this yahoo needs to go and Elias needs to trade right this moment for at least one but better two bulloen arms
  4. Particularly if they have never won one
  5. Player signs contract worth $50 million or less: Draft pick after competitive balance round B (before the third round). Player signs contract worth more than $50 million: Draft pick after first round. Former team pays competitive balance tax: Draft pick after fourth round regardless of contract size. Angrls were not paying competitive bakance tax team so they would get comp pick after first round
  6. We easily could have signed him. "That's not the way it was," Reggie said. "I wanted to stay. I liked the team. I liked the city. My mom was there. My dad was close by. I had other family close by. And I loved playing for Earl. When I got there, he told me, 'You know I like guys who can hit the ball over the fence, Reggie.' And I said to him, 'Earl, I can do that.'" "Baltimore would have been a really good place for me," he said. "Really good lineup. Best pitching in the league. And they were good on fundamentals the way we'd been in Oakland. Get 'em on, get 'em over, get 'em in. But the way Earl liked best once we did get 'em on was with homers. I only played 134 games that year once I got there, still hit 27 dingers and knocked in 91." "During the season, I made them an offer," he said. "One point five million for five years, average salary of $300,000, which would have made me the highest-paid player at the time. Then I wanted them to throw in $30,000 a year over the length of the contract for my mom, and $30,000 for my dad. So the total value would have been $1.8 million over five." “They waited too long to make up their minds," he said. "And then once I had played out my option, the offers started to come in. The Expos offered me the most money, a deal for a million a year, but I didn't want to play there. Ted Turner came after me hard. But in the end, I signed with the Yankees for five years and three million. Mr. Steinbrenner threw in a Rolls-Royce." Reggie paused and said, "It was my time, and I was gonna get paid." https://www.mlb.com/news/reggie-jackson-1976-orioles
  7. Os are not, should not, will not trade for or sign Ohtani. Getting him in a trade would feel a little bit like when we got Reggie Jackson which in a different world and time was shocking to me as an Os fan. Not in any way comparing the two, just how improbable and incongruous it was to see him in an Os hat
  8. Os win and lose 1/2 game as Rays sweep DH against the single A Royals
  9. On Gameday that last pitch to Mountcastle looked behind his feet lol
  10. Man the prospects are really getting it done .. in the field and at the plate.
  11. Great .. Mullins out again … Enrique, suit up!!
  12. Sure am glad that much better defender Westburg was out there throwing the ball wherever… rookies .. sheesh
  13. I have the same thoughts about Adam that Elias and Hyde do. Baaaa!!
  14. Exactly..and thanks for the correction .. 3rd in MLB…although I think Adam continues to make significant swing adjustments and I would not be surprised if he hits for even more power in 2nd half. And I do twenty bows in front of his poster nightly as my contribution to our winning.
  15. Now now … name calling isn’t helpful. Just because you have to be right and can’t stand anyone disagreeing with you. Feel free to block… baaaa
  16. Oh I was and am an unabashed advocate of Elias decision and of Adam’s professional contribution and still am and I have that poster proudly next to my Cal and Farrah Fawcett.
  17. Yeah I do given the reflex negativity that any positive action he performs being minimized and denigrated by the naysayers. I will stick with Elias and their judgement, not yours, thanks.
  18. 3rd best record in AL and Adam has contributed in a major fashion whether the naysayers admit it or not. Could our record be better if whomever you think needs to be here instead of him was here? All of them are here it seems to me. I think Frazier in the second half is going to be outstanding and make the 8 mil look like the best money ever spent!!
