A-Rod is definitely back on the juice.

Any man stupid enough to slap a ball out of a glove in a division game AND get caught using steroids on multiple occasions and get away with it, is going to screw up again.

The only way he doesn't is if the Yankee organization sits him down and explains to him that they will, under absolutely NO circumstances, continue to pay to cover up any future positive drug tests.

The jerk's 39 years old. At this point in his career, it's all about the money for him. He knows his days are numbered, so there's little risk in continued use of PEDs if it means he gets paid this season.

See that makes zero sense.

He can suck and still get paid.

He gets caught cheating again there goes the money.

That was disappointing.

I desperately hope the O's can snap out of this inability to manufacture wins. Because winning 1-2 games a week won't cut it once the season starts. And even though spring training wins and losses don't matter, it's not as simple as flipping a switch and turning the inablity to win into instant success when the games start to count. They need some kind of momentum going into the season, and aside from the 2nd week of camp, they've had no momentum to speak of. The bounceback after a loss isn't there, the late inning comebacks aren't there. I don't know if some of these guys aren't giving 100% for fear of getting hurt before opening day, but again, this isn't the kind of thing you just turn on and off. Winning takes momentum, and losing is a contageous disease.

      Before the season, I was one in trade Mateo camp . He only played SS , but with Gunnar locking up SS , I was not sure about his value anymore. But when he started playing at Second and CF , he looked like he picking up at these positions.  I think maybe he should be their utility player now.

      Elias addressing media at 4:05 today

      I  regret to hear news on Wells and Means setbacks.  I like Means because Orioles drafted and developed him .  He will be free agent this fall , should Orioles tender him or let him walk ? As for Wells, he has the stuff but durability is his drawback . Every season Orioles slotted him in starting rotation, then he gets put on IL this season, 2023 and 2022 seasons also .  When Wells returns next season  , they should slot him in bullpen permanently  , JMO

      Yes and at one point was a higher rated prospect in their system than Aaron Judge. It took awhile with the bat but he was always an amazing athlete with the ability for defensive wizardry.

      I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.
