  1. Yeah that's definitely what I meant by that
  2. Love Tim. Ran into him in Cooperstown when Cal was being inducted. The power went off in the town and there was a pizza place with gas grill serving everyone. He was in line with us. He's as short as rumored but very nice. Talked to us for a few minutes.
  3. Best case scenario is I’m drunk as a skunk in Baltimore this November at the celebratory parade after our World Series victory.
  4. https://www.si.com/mlb/orioles/news/orioles-viewed-as-one-likeliest-destinations-for-cy-young-winner-jon9 Can't see it but interesting.
  5. I think a good restaurant in upper left field would be pretty cool, especially if it was one you could visit year-round. The DBacks had that at Chase field when I visited. We went and got lunch during the day and ate on the 'patio'. Cool to see the field the whole time. You accessed the restaurant portion and went up to it without truly entering the ballpark.
  6. I would be ok with it and I am far from a 'fan' of Kimbrel over the years.
  7. I am skeptical but hopeful!
  8. Yeah I agree, Basallo wouldn't be needed for everyone I listed. He just has a lot of value and someone I'd still be willing to give in on if it was for the right starter. He's just below the untouchables for me (not trading Gunnar, Grayson, Adley, Holliday - obviously). I'd hate to move Basallo or Mayo, but I think if we do make a big trade (hard to define what big is exactly) the headliner is probably one of the 2. Kjerstad is in that same area, as you mentioned. I bolded your last sentence because I think that's really both of our points. Even if our spare parts are a bit better than everyone else's spare parts
  9. I think the package could be something more like Basallo, Norby/Ortiz, Cowser, and Mount. If you're really trying to get someone you want. That hurts to give up but I don't think it kills us. We have a deep system to get someone. I wouldn't completely rule out that a deal for a needle-moving SP might include one of Kremer/Wells/Hall being shipped out, so the other team gets an arm. I'd love to get one of Burnes, Freddy Peralta, Cease, Skubal, Gilbert, Bryce Miller, or Keller. But it will take a lot. Personally, the way I think about it, is that if I feel that it's a good deal for the Orioles - it's probably not enough. It's going to have to hurt a bit to get one of those guys. Some more than others.
  10. Good take, Tony. It's a nice short read with a sour taste in our mouths still but with a lot to look forward to. Very interesting off-season ahead and one where I do truly believe we will 'feel' the aggressiveness more. Don't get me wrong, we're not going to go nuts and out and get Ohtani, Snell, make huge trades, multiple big FA's, etc. but I look for 1 significant trade, a solid FA signing, and some bullpen help. What those moves will be exactly, who knows. A lot of decisions are ahead and for the first time in my life (30 years) I have confidence in the front office handling them. I won't blindly support anything they do but I feel comfortable. To do what we did the last 2 years while graduating significant pieces the #1 farm system...and to STILL HAVE the #1 farm system is really exciting. There will be some new faces next year but the faces of old (mostly young guys ) will be ready to roll and have this experience now. Damn, I had a lot of fun this year.
  11. My bet is on Angelos being the one now 're-selling' these tickets using the Orioles website
  12. What time do rosters need to be set? Sorry if it's in this thread already but I didn't see it when scanning. If we know.
