I prefer Saturday evening games, but I'm sure this wasn't done randomly. They clearly have data that makes them think that this makes sense, even if some of us don't particularly care for it. I just wish they'd pass a law that all west coast games must start at 7pm Eastern time. 🙂 -
I think it's both ways. I agree that in most cases the Orioles are not seriously pursuing extensions with the young guys, but I do think it would be more difficult to get someone like Jackson Holliday to agree to one, particularly this early, given his father's career earnings are north of $150M so the money doesn't do as much for him and his family as it would a kid from Chourio who (admittedly did get a very nice signing bonus, but still). That said, I don't disagree with your assertion that the Orioles likely wouldn't extent Chourio at this point either. As to the question the OP posed: no, I don't make that deal. While our infield is more backed up than our OF, I don't think we have a need in the OF. We have Kjerstad and Cowser at the moment with Hays, Mullins and Santander still holding down spots. Norby could very well end up in the OF. And behind them are Beavers, Bradfield, etc. Now if it was a top end SP prospect in a similar situation in terms of levels, age, expectations as Chourio I'm more interested. -
I hate being in Oriole Park for hot summer day games. It's only bearable if you're in the shade. I suppose you'll get more shade at 4 than 1, but this is still stupid, IMO. Night games are fun, particularly when you don't have to get up for work/school in the AM. -
So you respect his ability to sign guys off the scrap heap but not his ability to sign a guy for $2-4 million? If Elias thought he could get equal guys off the scrap heap, don't you think he'd just do that?

For Orioles fans, life in the Angelos Era has turned all humor into gallows humor. All suggestions unironically become serious and even the slightest impulse toward optimism is quickly crushed as flat as three day old roadkill in the sun. Except for one whimsical, child-friendly joke - Lucy pulling away the football is still a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. -
I very much disagree with the bolded above. I think the problem with extensions for any of our young guys is ownership, not the players. Which means that we likely wouldn't extend Chourio either.

WTF are you talking about? I have said several times on here in this thread that the reason I wouldn’t sign this guy is because of Elias’ success in signing scrap heap guys.
