Ya know, everyone says how great it is to get 2 outta 3 but I refuse to do cartwheels over it. So what has changed because we took 2 outta 3 from the Yankees? Practically nothing has changed. We separated one game from the Yankees. Whoopty doo. What about the Detroit Tigers? They are coming fast and furious for that 2nd wildcard spot and guess what? We are STILL tied with them for it after winning 2 outta 3 from New York. So excuse me for not wringing my hands together in excitement. Now had the Oriole bats not been embarrassingly putrid today, then Baltimore would have separated THREE GAMES from the Yankees. Now THAT would be substantial. Plus Baltimore would have a 1 game lead on Detroit but whatever. 2 outta 3 flat out doesn't change a whole lot.

Series WIN! You're an idiot.

It's not outlandish at all for this team to get on a roll. They just need one good hot streak. The offense is capable of that, and barring that they're still better than they've shown recently. The Tillman injury does hurt us big though as he could be covering up some of this. Btw it's important to remember that we still have 3 games left against DET so we have a chance to knock them down. On the other hand I can understand pessimism given our tougher schedule and and offensive slump. But to say it can't happen is absurd.

Calm down internet tough guy who is probably scared of his own shadow in real life. I have every right to be aggravated about yesterday's game and our huge 2nd half slump.I can express it however I please, regardless of how negative you find it to be. Lastly, how come you never attack anyone else like this? There are dozens of other frustrated, negative posters on here and you haven't said ANYTHING critical about them...Interesting...

I never said it can't happen. I hope and pray it DOES happen. The playoffs are a fun, exciting thing to be a part of and I desperately want to go back.

We gained a came on the Jays, Astrols, Yankees, Royals,and Mariners. We stayed same with Sox, and Tigers. That seems like a good weekend to me.

You might have wanted to take a look at the standings before you went on your little rant. Birds are 3.5 up on the Yankees in the standings and 3 up in the loss column.

      How should we look at FA contracts going forward?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I don’t see the point. By and large, I think these extensions are very overrated by fans. I think it gives you a nice, warm and fuzzy feeling that your favorite players are locked in but for the team, unless you are getting a big discount, they don’t make a ton of sense. For a pitcher, who you have for another 4 years after this one, I don’t see it making sense unless he’s signing for real cheap. (Ie, I’m getting 2 FA years for 25M a year or less) If I’m getting that, I do it. But I think GRod has TJ surgery sometime in the next 3 years, so I’m really wary about it.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      It's going to take a market deal at minimum and maybe even a record deal to entice them given who the agent is. But PLENTY of other young stars have extended. The Witt deal would be the comp/starting point for Gunnar.

      Exactly. I had this same internal dialogue today, actually. He could break over the next 5 years, or he could be worthy of extending. Either way, that's not a today problem. Just let him be for now.

      This is the kind of thing that drives me nuts about him. Every start it's like a totally different pitch mix. Or he'll get a K on a 96 mph heater up in the zone and you never see that pitch again. Or he has a guy 0-2 and chucks a random cutter down the middle. Like... throw a curve in the dirt man!

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      This is a good question. IMO - You try with all 4 and see who's interested. Gunnar is obviously a superstar talent who is ascending at age 22. He already owns a sliver slugger and a ROY award. He also has Scott Boras for an agent. So I doubt there would be any discount on their end. Which is fine by me because we have a bilionaire owner, a growing/more engaged fanbase, who hasn't paid ANYONE in years. I.e. we should definitely have the money. I would love it if we did everything we could to make Gunnar an Oriole for at least the next 10 years. Adley is older at 25, but he arrived first. (If that matters?) Obviously at his position, you don't want to go as long with the deal. But he is closer to FA and the price will continue to go up. As the team leader, you would like for him to stick around. Burnes is probably the most valuable/most irreplaceable, in that he is the most rare commodity, an actual game #1 type starter, where no matter the matchup/opposing pitcher, we are never at a competitive disadvantage (plus he has experience). This is not to say that Grayson is not a budding ace in his own right. But you would like a few top notch pitchers to give yourself the best odds to go all the way in October. Burnes, (a healthy Bradish if such a thing is realistic), and Grayson ALONG with this lineup is a good recipe for post season success against ANY opponent (including the Dodgers or Braves). I would love to extend Holliday, but again the agent is Boras and the dad is a very wealthy former big leaguer, so there wil be no discounts there. I don't think it would be the best for team morale if we pursued an extension for Holliday first and bypassed Henderson and Rutschman. They are more accomplished players to this point. And it would be likely for them (if they were open to an extension) to harbor feelings of resentment with the rationale of "what has he done (Holliday) compared to me?"

      By Sanfran327 · Posted

      The way the blue chip FA contracts are going lately is that they're only 2-3 years at a time to keep up with market value. I'd spend our ownership's money at $50m/yr to keep Burnes for 2-3 more years. Let someone else pay him in 2027 or 2028.

      Royals Series 4/19-4/21

      By interloper · Posted

      Haha I guess I see what I want to see. They did put up like 9 runs on the Red Sox in one inning with basically all singles, FWIW.
