MLB has decided to punish the city of Baltimore by not awarding them the All-Star Game due to the fact that MASN hasn’t agreed to respect the RSDC's decision. If MLB is willing to do that then can either the Nationals or MASN trust them to make a fair ruling even if it goes against MLB's own interest? The connection between the All-Star Game and the MASN Lawsuit is that they both show how MLB is willing to use its power in order to achieve their own interests.

It's not a nice world under there.

And this is why MLB is gonna be embarrassed a lot in the future. They played dirty and played both sides to get a viable team in DC. Now its coming home to bite them in the ass. Manfred will be exposed to his 2nd official case of questionable tactics. Its gonna be fun watching him sweat it out in open court.

I think it continues to be kicked down the road until Angelos and company decide to sell. It then will be hashed out in the sale.

I expect him to sell sometime in the next five years. He already got far into negotiations at least a couple times. I think the last time much of the now Dodgers group was involved. Pretty sure it was the Dodgers group without Magic and a couple others.

Bud Selig sent a very clear, written warning that if either party took MLB to court instead of following the process set out in the MASN agreement, there would be hell to pay. MLB obviously can't take any action that would affect the integrity of the competition on the field, so this is a way to follow through on their warning and punish the Orioles for disobeying that directive.

      You mean a AAAA starter.  Sometimes I think he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else, so he does things that no one else would do just to prove a point. I don’t actually think he wants to spend money on free agents. I think he likes the idea of trying to be the smartest man in the room. I think his attitude is going to change somewhat next off-season, After his many blunders at the trade deadline.

      I don’t think this is true. He’s had a lot of games as you described and there haven’t been these ten post reactions to said games. He’s going to hit. Would it be nice if he was producing this year like the other rookie Jacksons? Of course but no one (that I’ve seen) on this board is rooting against him or suggesting that he won’t be a high caliber major league hitter. His defense is another thing but he’s going to figure it out at the plate at the MLB level. You’re right though - his nice game should have garnered more attention, especially with the way the year has largely gone for him. I’m not sure what role he has in the postseason other than maybe as a pinch runner. Right now I don’t think I’m putting him ahead of any of the lefty bats on the roster. I guess he’s the only other ‘SS’ they have on the big club so he’s surely going to fill a spot but I can’t think that he plays ahead of anyone, including Rivera right now. It will be interesting to see how Hyde and Co. deploy Holliday come Tuesday.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Per Roch, Selby is the call up today, with Davidson presumably DFA.   Guessing today’s pitching looks like:  - Suarez (2-3 IP)  - Webb (1 IP)  - Soto (1 IP)  - Dominguez (1 IP)  - Coulombe (1 IP)  - Selby (2 IP) Bowman fills in gaps as needed.

      Holliday and Henderson is going to be an elite top 2 in the lineup.

      He’s also replaced the leg kick with a toe tap. At least with two strikes I noticed.

      Burnes named Game 1 ALWC starter

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Last year, of 8 WC teams: - 5 went with 12 pitchers - 2 went with 11 pitchers - 1 went with 13 pitchers I expect the Orioles to go with 12 pitchers. Given how Detroit mixes and matches pitching, we need to have enough platoon options.   I do think there is value in having more pitchers, even if it’s just an extra guy for mop up duty that saves pen in blowout game 2 so we aren’t running on fumes in game 3. However, I think 14 position players and 12 pitchers is the right balance for the wild card series.

      I don't think this is true.  He's struck out 3 times a few times and gone 0-4 several times and 10 posts haven't been made. I hope he has a nice view from the bench during the playoff series and gets an at bat here or there if we're up big or getting blown out.  I'd like to see him put in a lot of work this offseason and start 2025 on fire.
