Law, "That's a more reasonable return. It is not a bad trade for Baltimore. It's a little bit of an uninspiring trade for Baltimore." He then said later, "The return they got here was appropriate for a rental. It was more a quantity over quality trade. I don't think they got anybody in this deal who's going to be a star. It's probably quite fair for half a season of Machado. But there's nothing here to truly excite you, if your an Orioles fan..." Then shortly after, "They just got bulk."

There was more, some of which you alluded to, but trying to type and listen is hard. LOL! 

That’s fair. He did say those additional comments and I think even started with that. But I felt like their tone was generally critical and not really highlighting the potential in what we got back. To each his own and we’ll see how it all plays out.

Agreed... they were unimpressed, as was Callis.

Opinions are like you-know-what, everyone has one.  If you'd listen to "Peanut Reynolds" on MLB last night, the O's should've gotten back someone on the Dodgers' current roster. He thinks that would be something the fans could appreciate more.  This year is a huge write-off, Harold, you build for the future.

Harold Reynolds is a total moron.

What will I do without my Logan Forsythe Orioles jersey, all is not well in Birdland.

I don’t think the Dodgers were going to trade Walker Buehler. 

I’d rather appreciate winning 3 years from now.

Here's a video from the Dodgers' GM's perspective.  They had been working on the trade for about a month.  The Orioles wanted to get something done so they weren't up against a deadline day crunch and take whatever was available.  L.A. is in a tough division race.

Excellent radio interview with Andrew Friedman today...in particular, shoots down the media stuff alleging dragging out of the process by the Orioles..states that DD was a straight shooter, professional,

I got really jealous of Dodger fans listening to this.    Great team, great farm system, great front office.   And now they have Manny.     Not Gerardo Parra or Scott Feldman or Tim Beckham.

They bounced pretty good, after that nasty ownership divorce and custody battle.

I hear the Dodgers have a pretty solid Cable TV deal with Times Warner and that helps allow them to spend money.

For me, I am glad, Manny is on the west coast and especially the NL. I dont really want to see him play in another uniform.

I think Kremer is going to shock a lot of people as others have said. He may not be a TOR, but man is he really breaking out in a big way this year. You can't keep telling me he's destined for the back of a bullpen with his k rate, stuff, and command.

The Orioles did superbly to get OF prospect Yusniel Diaz in the Manny Machado deal. Some might say that the outfield is the least of their worries – behind pitching, the infield and a catcher (in that order). But when you have a chance to get a special player, you should go for it. And that is what they did. “A stud,” one scout called Diaz, who homered twice in the Futures Game, which may have cemented this deal …
— GM Dan Duquette did a very good job with the deal, and it’s interesting to see that he led the trade talk …
— Zach Pop, also acquired for Machado, has a 0.33 ERA at his latest stop in the Dodgers minors and throws 96-98 mph with sink …

When Harold's wrong, he tends to double down on it.  You can't pander to the least knowledgable fans - which is effectively what he suggested we should have done, and I commend the O's for not listening to pundits like Reynolds.

      Soto and Judge are both first ballot Hall of Famers when they retire.  Soto is younger than Adley, has a career bWAR over 36, and dominated the 2019 postseason as a 21 year old. Folks probably weren't paying much attention to him or the Nats back then, but he has been a force ever since being called up in 2018. And Judge...not sure why nobody else saw value in a six and a half foot man with a ton of raw power, but good for them for nailing that 32nd pick in the draft. Having these guys 2 and 3 in the lineup is such a game changer, because there is so much pressure on the opposing pitchers to not screw up with any of their other 7 hitters.  One guy you may be able to get around.  But 2.....much harder.   That being said, I do think it is more about us losing the division than anything else.  Tampa showed us last year how to keep fighting in spite of injuries. Those guys were decimated and were like a relentless swarm of bees hanging around us all the way until the last weekend.  They won 99 games with an extremely depleted pitching staff and a slew of no-name hitters who kept coming up with big hits.  We lost this division by playing uninspired, unclutch, and lame baseball for three full months.  And amazingly, we will have gone all of July, all of August, and all of September without so much as a 4 game winning streak.   Winning the season series against every division opponent for the second year in a row is something I am very happy about after years of being a doormat. I am sorry we couldn't win the division, but I am also glad to be playing next week and not sitting at home waiting to play a team on a high after winning a playoff series.

      It's game 160 tonight and we just discovered our bull pen has warts? Elias's fault, Hyde's fault - we've had ample threads of he sucks, they suck, fire him, demote him, etc.  Well we are off to the playoffs and the pen may be the reason we don't go far. And if so I doubt few on here will be surprised. It is what it is going forward with some but not necessarily significant adjustments. We play this year out with the hand we can put together - next Monday. Till then, just win one in Minnasota for the bottom line. Last night is over and IMO really didn't teach us anything we didn't already know.

      I didn't spell it out well enough.    I was meaning season long results of Orioles teams with full Rutschman seasons 2023-2027 against the Yankees.    They are now 1-1.

      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 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.
