Ugh… Fuji! I won’t even eat the apple anymore after that.

I agree. I think Rodriguez is their target. He likes it here, probably affordable and he’s a lefty which plays extremely well now at Camden Yards. If it happens I just hope he stays healthy and consistent.

I completely agree with trying to swing this trade. Makes the most sense for us, but I would try to include either Hayes or Mountcastle with a couple of prospects, as they are much easier to replace given our depth. This solves two big needs for us and we have the prospects they should covet. I believe Williams has two years left.

Look at Elias’ track record with the Astros when it came to pitching. Quite a few pieces were acquired via trade and now that we have a stocked farm system with some position depth they need to take advantage soon especially if they are going to entertain the idea of extending some of our young hopefully soon to be superstars. I personally would love to see what it would take to get Burnes and Williams from the Brewers. Burnes has 1 year of arbitration left and Williams two. That would solve our two biggest problems this offseason and I think it makes a lot of sense. Now who are you willing part with? I’d give some serious thought to something like Hayes/Cowser/Norby/Basallo and maybe we get some cash back

Let's not forget Mateo's two baserunning mistakes that he somehow got away with, not once but twice trying to advance to 3rd on a ball in front of him. That's been the problem with him most of the year, mental lapses in the field and on the bases. Granted we got our ass kicked yesterday, but if we are going to start winning these games those little things are going to matter. This team has been resilient all season and if there is one team that can do it, it's this team. Most of us are not accustomed to Orioles teams being resilient, but I definitely hope this becomes the new norm. Let's go O's!

Nice!

Could be once in a life time opportunity. You don't want to look back next year and wish you would have gone especially if they clinch that day. Now strap in, fire up the Pinto and get ready to roll!

I didn't seem to have any issues and was able to get tickets for all ALCS games. Did anybody notice the price increase though over being a Flex plan member. The club level tickets during the presale for ALCS were $250 a piece. Today they were $400!

I'd be surprised if it was sold out. My link was active about 10 minutes before noon and the availability for each section would update when I changed the number of tickets. Unfortunately, needing 4 tickets to each of the games pretty much limited me to club level down the lines, lower reserve and upper box. Every time I tried to add them for Field Box or Club Box they would be gone by the time I tried to add to the cart, but I went back in around 12:30 and it looked like the upper deck in Left and Right Field still had plenty available.

That’s pretty good in my opinion. Mine is at noon today. Could you tell if there were a lot of club box available? I get 4 tickets to each game

Absolutely strike 3!

Hell yeah!!

Is it just me or does anybody else hate the non buttoned up jersey. Abreau looks like a slob out there and I know he’s not the only one doing it.

These aren’t even playoff games yet. I’m going to need some major doobie to get through the playoffs!

I want the Blue Jays in! We own them this year. Texas, Seattle, and Houston are all tougher I believe. Any matchup is going to be a challenge. They just need to keep doing what they've been doing all season. Attention to detail, aggressive and doing the small things well.
