    Here comes Texas!

    You are really making me hope Lawlar crashes and burns.  Face it, you don’t really know who will be better between the two.   Plus, we are still waiting to see what Lawlar will cost (if he is signed at all).   

    Lawlar or House, both would have been better picks. Just awful. So let me get this, a rebuilding club, in one of the toughest divisions in baseball, desperately in need of closing the gap in talent takes another corner OF over a franchise SS. Explain that to me Frobby. Fans are watching a crap product, we deserve the BPA.

    For those assuming that the battle for worst team in baseball came down to us and the DBacks, Texas has just tied us in the loss column, losing their last 11 in a row.   We have a 3-game set with them on the final home weekend of the season that could loom large.   

    Why does it matter? Elias would use the number one overall pick to draft the 12th best player, likely another corner OF bc you know those are always more important than a stud SS like Lawlar.

    Sounds like the guy may have psychological/emotional problems.   I hope he’s able to get his game back on track, and if he is having the problems I am speculating about (I certainly don’t know), address those effectively as well. 

    After the last few years, we all have psych/emotional problems ???

    I apologize if this has been mentioned already, but does anyone know what happened to his twin brother? Was in Twins org and when we took Wells with the rule 5, initially thought it was his brother. Seems like he is back in Australia now?

    As an out of market fan, I'm willing to pay $40 plus shipping if anyone gets an extra bobblehead.

    EBay was founded in 1995, there are several listed on there already. 
     

    Side note: I love the people that sit by the exit & say they will buy your Bobblehead for $5 or $10 as you walk out of the game lol. Like a whole $10?!?! Really???:)

    The results for Elias have looked good in the minors,but until some of that translates to the majors, I can't consider Elias a successful GM.  Concerning too that Elias decided to punt on pitchers in the draft.  Pitching is obviously the MLB O's #1 problem, so you think that would be a focus in the draft and everything the O's do. 

    Maybe his focus is on the sticky icky over quality, whatever gets you the edge, right? Like stealing signs.

    And don't forget it's a 6:35 gametime instead of the usual 7:05.

    My friend and I are going out and hitting a brewery or two downtown before the game, including Peabody Heights Brewing which is on the exact site of Old Oriole Park which burned down in the late 40s I think.   But we will head to the game in time to be there before 6.

    Wow! Didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing that! Good beer?

    You pick that outlet to be your rankings? I can find 3-4 saying O’s are top 5. 5th to be exact. 
    I’ve asked multiple times where you get your information for why you do or don’t like a player being drafted and you refuse to answer. 
    If BR is your way of learning you should expand your horizon. 

    The Orioles haven’t won a world championship since 1983 and won’t again until Peter passes and sale is complete. Why fans think these farm system ratings are a victory is funny. If you notice in particular, we have very few high ceiling guys in comparison to other teams because the great Elias is scared to death to draft a pitcher in the top rounds because of past failures and insists on skipping over drafting a stud SS in Lawlar for a corner OF, but hey, I am sure you are right, the Orioles are headed for greatness, carry on.

    You do realize that AM help bring a core of players that had this team competing and in the playoffs right? 
    you are saying that you aren’t team Elias and it’s because of the last two drafts but I still want to know where you get your information on these players to say that Elias doesn’t know what he’s doing? This team when from a bottom 5 farm system to a top 5 farm system under Elias. If he’s been that bad and the guys he’s taking aren’t any good how does the rankings change so much?

    We are top 5? Hilarious. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2945855-updated-mlb-farm-system-rankings-after-2021-mlb-draft

    Ball lookin’ like a beach ball for Urias recently.  He’s seeing it well and on an impressive heater.  

    I enjoy watching him. Hope he figures it out with the bat consistently.
