I've said it before, whomever comes next might be worse.

Maybe  WAY worse.

That's a possibility there could be someone worse. If the Orioles ever leave Baltimore then I'm done as a fan.

Angelos outbid Jeffrery Loria.  It can get worse.  But let's face it, it could be a hell of a lot better.

[utvolzac]

Agreed, there’s no guarantee the next owner is better, but at this point I’m willing to risk it.

The Angelos regime has been mindnumbingly dysfunctional and incompetent. I’ll roll the dice.

Not a great look there Bryce 

Since it is the random thought thread : The pic on the left reminds me of when Hardy, Reynolds and a few other guys went to a Ravens preseason game in 2012 and the crowd went nuts when they saw them on the jumbotron.  What a season that was 

[Moose Milligan]

One of the crappiest things about this season is that...if I turn on the game after it's started and the Orioles are up, I can't figure out what part of the batting order they're in.  Like if Mancini is hitting, he could be batting leadoff, or 7th.  Schoop could be 2nd, he could also be 6th. If it's Trumbo, I feel like he''s probably 4th.  Our lineup is just a murky mess at all times with no discernible shape or rhyme or reason to it.

I read yesterday that Palmer only had 13 double digit strikeout games in his entire career.  

I just counted, Nolan Ryan had 17 double digit strikeout games in 1972 alone.

Goes to show you how amazing the Orioles defense was during Palmer's peak years.  I'm hopeful that the Orioles will focus on defense in the very near future.

I wonder how Palmer would have fared with an average defense.

In a strike-shortened season, to boot.

Is it me or does Caleb Joseph's bat look extremely thin?  It almost looks like an extended wiffle ball bat.  I think he should try a thicker bat to increase his chances of making contact.

Perhaps some type of large paddle?

Jeffrey Hammonds is 47 now.  Wow.  Wish I'd seen him play healthy. 

Glad I saw Harold Baines hit at all.
