The 2018 Orioles agree.

Yeah, I was OK with the “he’s young” thing when he was 19, 20, 21, 22.    At this point he’s a 6+ year veteran and should act like one.

Always root against the Red Sox and Yankees is my motto.

Yep! Been that way since 2004. I thought the RS finally winning would be therapeutic for that fan base but that combined with their football team makes NE sports fans my least favorite of any region.

“Manny, very quickly, is going to be described as evil now,” Buck Showalter, Machado’s former manager with Baltimore, told The Athletic. “It’s very easy to just go with the flow instead of think for yourself.

Quote

As Machado retreated to first base, he appeared to grab at his groin while staring down the home crowd. When Cody Bellinger followed with a two-run blast, Machado leapt into the air and pounded his chest. When Yasiel Puig added a double, Machado and Puig simultaneously chopped at their own crotches, their testicular fortitude showing as a rebuff to a similar act from Milwaukee’s Jesús Aguilar directed at Puig in Game 6.

“That’s Puigy’s thing,” Machado said of the gesture in question.

Quote

His free agency has already effectively begun — reached by phone, Showalter said he’s been in contact with several clubs inquiring on Machado the player and, most importantly, the person.

Quote

When the Dodgers first traded for Machado in July, Ward and several of the Dodgers coaches called mutual friends on the Orioles staff, who all had the same nickname for the skilled shortstop: Snow Leopard.

“He’s a rare species,” Ward said. “He’s a rare species at the plate, the arm that he has in the field, the instincts that he has and the different things that he can do at the plate. When he’s ready, he really is, and what he brings to this team is another level.

      Various Org Leaders for 2024

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      The fact that Justin Armbruester led all Orioles minor league pitcher with just 119.1 is pathetic! The pitching development guys are babying the SPs. This is emblematic of a philosophy that is destined to fail. Guys need to pitch to get better. Guys need to learn to get hitters out the second or third time through the order. I think this is a combination of a bad philosophy and not drafting SP talent in the early rounds. Broken system.

      The wall was yet another case, in the case of many’s. Where Elias thought he was smarter than everybody  and decided to make hitting homers to left field almost impossible and so in his “genius”he only drafted left-handed hitters. Hence, we have trouble hitting left handers ( the only good thing that came of this is they got Gunner Henderson Earlier than anybody else was willing to draft him. ) No right handed batter would sign  here ever unless it was an extreme overpay. I have hated that wall from day one and I don’t think it lasts much longer. Once they start doing the major renovations, I guarantee it comes in maybe not the extent of what it was before maybe  but it’s coming in.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Pickles · Posted

      And that's fine. I'm not trying to pick on you, because there are literally dozens of posts I could have responded to but didn't, but it seems to me a lot of people are asking for contradictory things.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Something that was an open question during much of the year was if Burnes' line about not trying for strikeouts was BS. Broadly I think he gave the market evidence in the end game that he is a master craftsman, and of course 30 year old pitchers have to regulate intensity to complete the season. The 2021 season was just weird.     At ages 25-26, he got most of a year off, and then he got babied like basically every pitcher in the world in Year 1 after COVID. In 2022 they pushed him for more, and the per-batter effectiveness eroded, setting up that notable 2023 Arbitration hearing that helped make him a 2024 Oriole. A GM wanting his services....don't nitpick.    There will be bidders. Unless Rubenstein is planning for three or more mega contracts at the end of the decade, I think there are places it makes more sense to go.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By Pickles · Posted

      It only takes 2 arms if you'd have him in the rotation over Suarez. Personally, I'd have Suarez in the rotation over him going in to next year as things stand now.

      I feel like they did it because our pitching sucked. Now it doesn't suck, so let's split the difference. I think it would be a mistake to go into 2025 with the current park dimensions.
