Hey, seriously ....... IF we win again tonight, you think that there is a chance that a pretty good number of Red Sox fans that have tickets for tomorrow´s game will shamefully stay away from the park to avoid the possibility of facing Oriole fans after getting swept ???

They would be more likely to just leave the pink hats in the hotel.

Yeah. Or better yet, take the hats them with them, but don´t wear them until the 7th or 8th inning, and only if the Red Sox are winning.

I am really enjoying watching Jones bat, he has gotten selective. Rocketed that one, but an atom ball. Patience, can you really learn that in the big leagues, especially after spending a few years looking silly with out of the zone breaking balls? :2yay-thumb:

Some comments from SOSH on Dempsey:

"I hate this guy more than Hitler and rapists combined "

"Ick. First time hearing Dempsey talk. So far he's got a voice perfect for silent film."

"This is the PERFECT game to test out MLB.tv's "park only" sound option. "

"Ack. What is this voice? It's not Kermit....I'm not sure. "

"Do you think MASN did it on purpose to get us to switch over? Whew, he's on something, Red Bulls and candy bars! "

"Dempsey sounds like a desperate salesman trying to sell you new carpeting... " (Editors Note: LUUUUNAAAAAA)

You mean an "at-em ball".

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      Paging @Tony-OH to the thread.  🤣 I've actually advocated for this in the minors forums...letting other teams draft and try to develop guys to see which have a shot of sticking and which don't.  Essentially let other teams make mistakes in the draft and trade for guys that are still in the lower levels in other systems but you think have a shot.  I do believe that's part of Elias's strategy....as risk adverse as he is, he's not going to take risks on drafting pitching if he views that's the biggest risk in the draft. All I'm saying it'd be nice to have a Skubal come through our system.  Does anyone really disagree with drafting and developing a Cy Young winner or is that something you guys aren't interested in?

      Oh, I get that. I just think you'd be hard pressed to say year in and year out the Central is anything but a mediocre division.  Typically, the AL East has at least 3 strong teams, with some seasons where 4-5 of them have winning records or close to it.  But it doesn't matter. As said before, I've been saying for weeks prior to the end of the season that the Tigers were a very good team. I just wouldn't trade our org, team, farm, whatever for the Tigers.

      3 of the 4 AL teams remaining are from the Central.

      Does it matter if they get drafted and developed vs. traded for and developed? Hell, the O's starting rotation was a strength this year. Here's a breakdown of how it was constructed: Burnes - traded for (Elias) Suarez - free agent (Elias) Kremer - traded for (Duquette) Eflin - traded for (Elias) Grayson - drafted (Duquette) Bradish - traded for (Elias) Povich - traded for (Elias) Irvin - traded for (Elias) Tyler Wells - Rule V (Elias) Rogers - traded for (Elias) McDermott - traded for (Elias) Means - drafted (Duquette) I'm excluding Bowman being an opener and getting a starting credit.  But that said, out of all of the starters that the O's used this year, none were drafted by Elias, and only 2 were drafted by the O's (GRod, Means). 8 were acquired via trade (7 by Elias, 1 by Duquette), and 2 via FA or Rule V.  I don't necessarily think that Elias needs to draft starters to build a rotation, but it would be nice to see a couple make it before being traded, TBH.  That said, I don't think the above is sustainable, but the strategy would be sustainable if you have free agency play a bigger part. Look at the Royals. Their best 3 starters weren't drafted by them (Ragans - traded for, Wacha - FA, Lugo - FA).

      Elias on contract extensions

      By Chromehill · Posted

      Unfortunately, it's looking like there is a lot of truth in that statement.  I believe Steve Bisciotti (Ravens owner) once said, he wanted to have a good team every year, get into the playoffs enough, eventually things go your way and win the Super Bowl.  This was in response to playing salary cap games for a few seasons and then eventually having to pay the piper with the dead money and being uncompetitive for a few years. Hopefully the O's can be consistently good and get hot at the end of the season and make a run through the playoffs.  Go back to June 1st and the five best teams in the league were the Orioles, Yankees, Guardians, Phillies and Dodgers.  Two are already out, Guardians fading fast with the Yankees and Dodgers still alive.   A Tigers - Mets World Series would be quite fitting.

      Elias on contract extensions

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Elias has a history (albeit as an AGM) of extending core players. He did it with the Astros. The main question: did he not do it here because of John Angelos wanting to keep the books clean for a sale...or as some fundamental shift in GM strategy. I think it's more a function of ownership, because outside of Chris Davis and Adam Jones, when is the last time you saw a longish term contract for a position player? I think Peter Angelos and Duquette screwed the pooch on not extending Machado, and I think Duquette set this organization back years with an incredibly poor trade deadline return for so many players.  All that said, players I'd look to extend in terms of priority: Gunnar Henderson Jordan Westburg Adley Rutschman I'm on record as thinking that Adley's second half woes were a function of nagging injury (wrist, back). I think he bounces back next year. But we absolutely need to get Gunnar locked up long term. I don't want to hear any nonsense any longer from GMs or ownership about taking two to tango. If the Braves, Astros, hell the freaking *ROYALS* can do it, we can do it.  You cannot repeat the sins of letting Machado go. He's been a near 24 bWAR player for the Padres in 6 years. I'm not talking about his recent contract extension, but rather his original 10 year, $300m contract back in 2019 when he was only 26 years old.  Get it done, Elias. Rubenstein, step up to the plate.

      I would too…but again, Bradish and GRod could be that. The point in bringing up Burnes is we “lucked” into that guy for 2024. It didn’t work out in terms of winning in October. Lots of teams with high level starters don’t make the playoffs or see those starters fail in the postseason.
