Dan is on top of his game, a real politician he is!

I don't find the numbers to be out of line from what I expected.

And you know, not trade them away.

It might take a better cut of beef and not just the cook time or method.

Why wouldn't you just sous vide it?

Do you develop the guys we got by yanking them back and forth from BAL to AAA and never letting them get consistent reps?

"Gausman is good," Duquette said. "If you look at his peripherals, it looks like he's ready to have a breakout season as a starting pitcher. Low walks, high strikeouts. Keeps the ball in the ballpark. He looks pretty good. We'll see his innings limit has been extended each year. He's right on schedule to have a good year."

Go sell some more used cars DD. The "top of the line pitcher" oddly never happened and he bottom feeds for a Korean OF. Just typical.

Sometimes I think I'm in an alternate reality where the Orioles have won the AL East once and gone to the playoffs twice in the last four years...

That was the former commissioner. Mr. Duquette never had any affiliation with any automotive concern. Nor is he much of a salesman.

An uniformed and "shocked" GM is not communicating effective expectations to the owner. Just saying.
