I don't mind not signing Swisher as it would have cost us a draft pick. Besides, an OF of Markakis, Jones, McLouth/Reimold is very good.

Reynolds is a head scratcher just because of not many options aside from hoping that Reimold would perform well and be healthy. Of course there are others like Valencia and Canzler...but not having Betemit hurts as he is so good against righties.

Thats all I am saying. Not calling for DD head on a stick. For all i know the guy may well have wanted to keep him and is doing the best he can. I wont pretend though that its the move of a team whose first priority is bringing home a title. Its the move of a team trying to save money IMO. To the best of my knowledge DD does the best he can with what he is given. There is no reason on gods green earth this team could not afford to either keep Reynolds or bring in a comparable commodity

I wonder if this means anything? Would think modern stadiums could have gotten it done tonight.

Work in the medical field have some experience in this area. Even in modern stadiums were they can do an initial scan to check for a large scale injury they will frequently repeat the scan in 24-72 hours. The initial swelling of the injury can sometimes obscure the injury. Waiting till tomorrow wont affect much in terms of how they treat him moving forward.

I know it's player speak, but Buck said Chris is upbeat.

Yeah just heard that. I don't think we can understate his importance. The thing that would worry me is Jones pressing and swinging at even more pitches off the plate. He impacts the whole lineup. He is set up to have one of those special seasons. Man I hope we get good news tomorrow.

Makes sense. I just want the news ASAP like everyone else does.

Really? No decent back-up for Manny, no decent back up for Hardy, no decent back up for BRob, and no decent backup for Davis--seriously, where is the depth? I know Flaherty can play all infield positions, but is that what you call depth? I honestly think not re-signing Reynolds is going to haunt us deep into the season.

Where's the depth you ask? - well come on, you should know better. Ask Angelos - it's all about appearances, and if we win that's coincidental

I wonder if we don't see a setup of Flaherty/Pearce at 1B. Call up Canzler to DH.

Against lefties:

1. Reimold - LF

2. Machado - 3B

3. Markakis - RF

4. Jones - CF

5. Wieters - C

6. Pearce - 1B

7. Hardy - SS

8. Canzler - DH

9. Casilla - 2B

Against righties:

1. McLouth - LF

2. Machado - 3B

3. Markakis - RF

4. Jones - CF

5. Wieters - C

6. Canzler - DH

7. Hardy - SS

8. Flaherty - 1B

9. Casilla - 2B

Canzler has shown he can hit righties and lefties in the minors.

      Nobody put words in your mouth.  I asked you questions.  That you can't answer them should suggest to you how thought out our positions are. 1) The goal is the World Series.  What makes you think it isn't? 2)  That's the most generic statement possible that is impossible to analyze, 3) So Elfin, Burnes, Bradish, Cano, etc.  don't count because you don't want them to count.  But other than that, he's got a bad track record of trading..... .like what trade?  Are we all supposed to go insane and only evaluate one trade- the Rodgers trade- in the most hyperbolic terms necessary to justify our hyperbole? 4) So we judge him for hypothetical trades that we didn't make and can't even be analyzed?  LOL. Flaherty was a worthless trade?  This is the same Flaherty that started Game 1 of the World Series this year, right? Oh, so you just want to cry about Rodgers ad nauseum?  Cry ahead. So you want to fire the most successful GM we've had since Pat Gillick but you haven't even thought about who'd you replace him with?  And wouldn't even bothered until he was fired?  You understand how stupid that is, right?

      Rubenstein: Orioles will speed up the effort to get to a World Series

      I think he’s all in. That’s why I have hope that he will resign Burnes and add some veteran offensive a talent to help the team play better in October

      This is as plausible a theory as any other that has been trotted out since the end of the regular season and it's one I fully subscribe to. Personally however, I think restraint is advisable when it comes to comparing his historical business leadership to his newfound role as 75 year-old billionaire owner of a a sports franchise.  Especially given his demonstrated propensity for dancing on the home team dugout during the seventh inning stretch.

      Noted … I’d much rather have Teoscar. They would need to determine if Profar is the 2024 player or prior.

      Stop putting words in my mouth!    1) The goal needs to be the World Series 2) We need to spend wisely …but we need to spend 3) Oh Stop ….i gave him credit for Eflin and Burnes. The others were during the rebuild and selling trades. Which I said in my response to you,  4) It’s not one trade …. He’s tried to get help2 deadlines now. Beyond Eflin at two deadlines he’s done little to help the team reach the ultimate goal.    His moves in 2023 were Jack Flaherty who was basically worthless and Fuji who was so inconsistent that he’s not even pitching in the majors. Did I forget anyone? He did little to help an offense that was struggling mightily in 2024. He gave a lot away this deadline. They got Eflin but most everything else was mediocre or worse. The Rogers deal was just horrible. And why was he shopping in the bargain bin pile. Rogers was a 4.5 ERA starter before the trade which really wasn’t an upgrade and he crapped the bed after he got here.    I’m undecided over who I’d go after to replace Elias when the times comes.
