Seriously though, who do you guys think Prince Fielder will sign with.

My money is with the Rangers (even though they are signing Darvish too). I just think that they realize that it is now or never time for them. And if they could get a mutual opt out after 3 years it's a no brainer (assuming ownership will put up the money).

Texas or Washington.

I really hope it is not Washington. Besides them probably taking away from our fan base if they get Prince, I don't think they would have enough money to extent Strausburg, Harper, or Zimmerman and I do really like to see franchise players stay with one team.

I hope it is WAS.

I am almost at the point where I want things to go bad for the Orioles if they aren't going to seriously try to improve the team. I can appreciate DD for what he is doing, but sooner or Angelos will grow tired of his new pet and put it out on the curb. The O's shouldn't be allowed to field a 95 loss team and be guaranteed to get 1.5 million fans like they have for the last 5 or so years.

So if Fielder is down the road and the Nats are playing well, let people spend their money down in DC. I probably will to.

That is an interesting way to look at it. I can't say I blame you at all! A little part of me probably feels the same way. It would suck dealing with all the new "Nats" fans though.

Maybe the O's could work out a deal with their MASN partners to show Nats playoff games on the OPACY Jumbotron. Less hassle than fighting through two beltways and DC.

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
