Does anyone know the Callis story behind his hate/dislike for the Orioles? It's been going on for several years. Did he work for the Orioles at one time or interview for a job and was turned down?  He never says anything nice about the Orioles.  It's interesting how his interview went on mlb network reviewing the players we received.  He said something like nobody above average and when they posted each players key stats on the screen for everyone to look at he said stuff like Bannon is okay and Pop is okay and Kremer is okay and was okay with Diaz. Valera he was okay with.  Before they posted their key stats on the screen he was totally down on who we received.  Anyone know why he dislikes the Orioles.

I think some of this is that the players that were rumored were better. Instinct is to say the haul is disappointing.   No rumors were as “bad”as what the Orioles ended up getting

Tanking with Tillman might not be the worst thing in world.  

Tanking is not my style. Waaaay out of my comfort zone.  Call it demanding your money's worth and I might get to sleep at night.  Maybe...

Ghiroli's tweet is huge.  Complete organizational sea change.  Must mean PA is no longer in control.  (Reaching for several grains of salt, right now).  Phrasing also seems to suggest that Duquette may still be around.  Color me gobsmacked if true...

I have been thinking over the last couple of weeks, with not much deep reasoning of course, that both Dan and Buck stay on...in slightly modified roles. Brady too. None of them are as senile as Thrift was yet. Plus they are "mature" so they don't need a sabbatical to come back from to reaffirm how awesome they are, or another team they can do a rescue 911 on.  They have become a vaguely functional/dysfunctional family. Onward!

BTW, everyone talks about AM getting a great haul for Bedard,  but reports are that he was offered Votto and Hamilton and chose Seattle offer instead.  Just something to think about. 

At the time a rival GM was quoted as saying there were better offers on the table.

I think it is the best decision to go with the team offering you the top player overall.  Get one sure thing over 2 high maybes.  I would have gone with the Dodgers offer over what the Phillies were rumored to offer.  I can only imagine how bad the Yankees offer was that they weren't even in the final 3.  Hopefully Cashman gets fired after this season when they Yankees lose in the play-in game.

Wanted Verdugo, may and lux but that was hopeful thinking. Solid return and I think they did a good job. I am most happy with them getting future players instead of “mlb ready” players. It means a rebuild and not a retool. A retool would have been sad, good enough to not get a good pick but bad enough not to make the playoffs. This shows we are on a two year plan and can be excited to watch the young guys come up. It also gives me hope that we are going to trade not only Britton but everyone else we can. This manny trade had to happen first because they didn’t want to trade off any other pieces that could have been packaged with manny. The next two weeks we should see some serious boost to the farm. The national guys will probably still say that the farm sucks. 

Come on Victor Victor!

I've only been in town for 6 years. Can someone tell me why Angelos wouldn't do international signings? I mean the dude isn't racist so what is it. Is there a story? I mean just look at how many good Latin players there are. And if he doesn't do international signings, how did we get Schoop?

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
