Tony did get hit in the knee last night

He's a future MVP

They mentioned this last night, but can we chalk up a lot of these close takes/not recognizing the strike zone complaints that some people have in this thread to the differences in the strike zones between AAA and the MLB? I think once he gets a handle on this new strike zone and starts being more aggressive early in at bats, he'll be fine.

Defensive liability? what?

Yeah I just said above what it is. They don't care about that sort of stuff (countries owning clubs, as I referenced in my post), but they care about if you wrote some mean tweets 10 years ago. Trust me, tons of people have dropped out, I've seen these purchases go through about 20 potential buyers before. When clubs start to fail and are taken over by the government, they have to go through a long vetting process to sell the club to a new owner and those new owners often have their own funds restricted. Just look at what is going on right now with Derby County and Reading.

I am excited to watch this this year

I don't think your last statement is true. There is a long vetting process in England, many owners have dropped out or been removed due to issues raised by supporters/government. It's just not for the reasons we'd all expect (human rights abuses) and tends to be just bad tweets, etc. I know there was a lot of backlash to teams essentially being bought by countries (Newcastle, Man City). Also Bayern still adheres to the 50+1 rule. They just have more money because they have amazing sponsorships and have been historically been THE team that Germans want to play for (or even players playing in the German league). I know they adhere to it because that's the reason why they didn't break off into the Super League drama from last year.

Didn’t the Red Sox pick before the orioles ?

Nothing ages better than a forum poster saying a draft is terrible. I remember the outrage at GrayRod. I was similarly upset but then i realized that I don’t know crap about any of these players and i doubt anyone here knows much about them either.

You can't legally stream the games for free though. You're just fine with stealing it (not casting judgment, but that's what it is, no?)

Yeah I don't really agree that this guy is killing this level. I'm no scout, but when I've seen him the 3 times I have, he has not looked like someone well above the competition. Good pitching seems to routinely have his number.

Certainly there must be some arms out there that can eat innings while we wait for the cavalry, right? Harvey looks like he's a lost cause.

We can see from the NFL with Mel Kiper how little people care about these so called "scouts" and predictors of success being accurate

100% agree. Was triggered by the Mike Flanagan thing. Would delete it if I could but I can’t. Apologies to all.

Eddie, I'm confused. You said that you wanted to have a discussion and you didn't like my short replies. So I made a long one. You didn't like that one either, but your response was short and didn't say anything except something that I never said. I think you're being intentionally dense here so there's not much left to say. I think my point was very clear. I didn't call you names (just returned a dig that you tossed at me, but certainly that hasn't upset you this much) and now I've got this jackwagon telling me to leave my children without a father. As for the other comment I made regarding this cretin who is levying threats and hatred, I think it's pretty clear that was a tongue in cheek comment. If you want to have a discussion, you can DM me, no one needs to see this back and forth.

You just called me ignorant and now you're going to say I'm ad homming you??? I guess you're not interested in a discussion either! But you can take solace, really genuine people like @OsFan2001can back you up with racist, homophobic, and violent statements on the internet!

Please point to where I said the data you used was made up. Actually, don't. I really don't need you to show me where I didn't say that. Who's ignorant now? My point was: I really doubt anyone was interested in seeing a giant post that takes up your entire screen with posts on it. You posted comments from accounts with a very minimal amount of followers. NONE of them are verified. NONE. This doesn't mean that they're BS, but it should be taken into account. What in the world is Hold2LLC? Why should I care what they say? Their twitter bio says they "invest intelligently in ourselves" - it doesn't say they are doctors, immunologists, or virologists. Moreover, Covid_clarity looks to be a clearly anti mask twitter who is picking on people consistently who endorse mask-wearing, so why would I believe their posts? Just because they say they "welcome all viewpoints" doesn't mean they actively do. I don't like wearing a mask either, but if it keeps me safe, I'll do it. I'm going to start doing it anyway in cold & flu season because I hate being ill and it's a very easy step to make that has shown positive results.

Don't really see the harm and seeing if he can figure out.

I am glad you've said your peace. This is an orioles board, not a spam everyone with twitter posts that support my beliefs board. Take it to 4chan

what a bunch of absolute tripe

It's pretty obvious after even a cursory search.

This has to be a troll job

they're up 6 runs!

I think this report is the exception to the rule, not the rule, and should be treated as such. Don't get all worried so easily
