Maybe being drunk brought out that particular outburst, but the reporting is that this guy had a ongoing grudge against a reporter who was holding the team accountable for acquiring a domestic abuser.

Jokes aside, the current management structure has me the most excited I've EVER been as an O's fan and the hiring isn't even complete.

This is gross. Don't be that guy.

Two examples are a culture now?

Actually 3.  Two incidents with reporters in 2 months and then the press release where they called sports illustrated liars.  I don’t think the controversy will end here.  The press release is unacceptable.  Most likely GM will lose his job.  If they just suspended the guy for.a month to begin with it would have all blown over

I don’t buy that. I have been drunk hundreds of times in my life and I have never yelled at one person in anger when drunk much less made offensive comments towards them.

And every drunk person you’ve encountered has behaved like that?    If so, your experience is different than mine.   
 

Of course, I have no idea if Taubman was drunk or not, nor would I excuse his conduct if he was.

No some persons are belligerent when they are drunk.  But alcohol lowers your inhibitions it doesn’t make you a mean person. It just lets out what you were holding back.

For the most part I agree with your points.  NonetheIess, I think that two or even three examples don't constitute a culture - even in America's newfound culture of exaggeration.

Well everyone has done something stupid when they're drunk. Just not offensive. Some people just mess that part up.

Would people be against it if we hired this guy in a behind the scenes role?  

He would first have to go through a comprehensive counseling program and prove himself in a much lower position for several years while reporting to his counselor. I don't believe anyone should be unemployable because of past mistakes, but he'd really have to prove that his attitude and behavior had changed.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Was jealous on DSL last year?  Hadn't heard of him?

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      Oh get real man. You said that they probably wouldn't even make the playoffs at a time when that was a nearly a statistical impossibility. You were right about nothing.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By ChuckS · Posted

      I would think MLB would like to see offense spike, given the current state of things.  But also, I don't see why anyone wouldn't want the game played with a true strike zone. It will benefit hitters more than pitchers, but ultimately the net impact on offense would be less than you might think after the pitchers adjust and target certain parts of the zone where they are more likely to get calls (possibly the high strike, as umps tend to miss more often off the plate).

      I'd say there's zippy chance of Basallo being up here this year.  I mean, maybe for a September call up and a few games in Baltimore but that all depends on the pennant race, etc.  No chance Basallo is on the postseason roster unless something unforseen happens.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Who did the Rangers bring up with there great pitching prospects?    The Astros won with a lot of low level international pitching guys they signed for very cheap.   The draft is such a crap shoot as is the international signing guys so you try to bring in as much talent as possible then figure out who you have.  Look at how many high draft picks never even touch the majors.  Do you think Elias thought Mayo was gonna be one of the best prospects in the game drafting him in the 4th round?   Do you think he knew Basillo was gonna turn out to be one of the best hitting prospects in the game yet other teams pretty much let him land in our lap by not going after him.  Every single team passed on Henderson, Westburg, Mayo(multiple times) so it isnt like these guys were sure things(not that anyone is).  If he knew Henderson was gonna be an MVP player, Westburg was gonna be an all star, Mayo one of the top power hitting prospects in baseball and all the other guys like rutschman, Cowser, Kjerstadt and Holliday were gonna succeed then maybe he would have looked more at pitching earlier but you don't know which players will succeed so lets blame him.  Druw Jones was the consesus top pick in the MLB draft going in and when we took Holliday everyone was kinda like what are they doing and so far it looks like we are the only one that knew what we were doing.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I think we should wait for the deadline.  We're a lock for a WC spot.  So why make a big trade unless it's for a Game 3 SP?  If it's a home game at OPACY then I want a LH SP.   The names that could be available are Snell, Montgomery, Quintana, Tyler Anderson, Reid Detmers, Manaea, and Kikuchi.   I know we've lost 5 in a row, but it's not that bad.  Look who we've lost to.
