It has yet to show its business model is profitable.  It has raised a great deal of money(90M) and spent a lot of it.

I'm not an expert and I'm not predicting anything but it seems possible.

Interest rates are so low and so much cash out there.  They will keep expanding to new markets to show growth.  Once they run out of markets to expand to or we hit a recession they will go belly up.

I went to Winter Warmup. If you would like to see photos, I have put them on my Facebook timeline, just look for Carl Lamy with the avatar of the guy wearing the O's gear. I have also shared the album

I went.  Showed up a few minutes before 11, I’d estimate about 200 there at that point.  Got a free blanket, enjoyed Santa Bird and the statues, got a DD card and some other freebies and saved a bundl

Cold rain is the worst. It’s the weather in western Oregon for half the year. It’s also why I am in Puerto Vallarta at the moment ?

I agree this thing appears to have been a disaster.   But is it really under Elias's purview?   Or is it more on the PR side of things?

I think Elias has other things to worry about. Maybe the thing next month if it comes to fruition will be better. I suggested do the Oriole signings across the state at the stadiums with current,former and minor league players. Mascots also from each team . Do one in Frederick,Bowie,Salisbury and the Naval Academy. York also if they can do it at Peoples Bank Stadium.Of course have the #1 draft pick at Camden Yards. Birdland members should get a free gift and a personal  meet and greet. Still looks like January 18th or January 25 and or 26th. 

Looks like very small crowd at the event and Elias signed in his office?

Well no one told me they put Santa hats on the statues!  They changes everything!  How festive!

They were going to put Santa hats on Sig,Mike and Hyde but analytics advised against it.

 

Perfect song for the Warm Up.

There's bells and there's holly, the kids are gung-ho
True love finds a kiss beneath fresh mistletoe
Some families are messed up while others are fine
If you think yours is crazy, well you should see mine

MASN crashes before the Athletic is my guess.  5 months a year, it carries little to no original content.  During the baseball season, you get the yin/yang of the worst (or 2nd worst) team in baseball and the current Champs.

Sounds like a recipe for success.

      How much faith do you have in Elias to address the needs this month?

      By ChipTait · Posted

      I have a ton of faith in the FO, but the way the poll was worded, had to cast my vote a little lower.   We won't know for years - if ever - which offers were made but rejected. Grayson has given everything I was hoping for from Bradish.  Burnes has exceeded the hype.  So, we need to replace the #3/#4 pitcher we expected Grayson to be.  Suarez is still a great surprise.  Kremer, in my mind, is trending upward.  A solid #3 would be thrilling. On the reliever front, one solid (non-elite) leverage-type reliever can push Tate/Baker/Akin back to Tidewater and make the whole BP look better.  And Coloumbe returns for the push. I guess I'm saying we don't need an ace and a closer, but a #3 and a 7th inning specialist.  Should be doable.

      Faith.  I hope he trades all of the prospects that are clearly blocked, and get some players we can use.

      Outfield PA the rest of the way

      Hays has certainly hit a lot better lately but he is just feasting on LHP’s. His wRC+ against RHP’s is 73, so he should not be taking any AB’s away against RHP’s from Cowser (or Mullins/Kjerstad/Santander assuming they are all healthy).  So much has been made about Cowser’s offense (for good reason) that it seems like the fact that he’s been the best defensive player on the team on a per game basis gets lost. With his defense and base running value, he doesn’t even have to be a great hitter to be valuable, like Kjerstad. His floor is closer to Mullins, yet it seems like he’s judged very differently. Put another way, if Mullins had Cowser’s overall offensive line right now, with his exit velo’s and quality of contact, nobody would be calling for him to lose playing time. It just seems odd that a rookie that has been so good defensively and has so many good offensive qualities (average exit velocity, chase rate, barrel %) is getting so much heat right now. He definitely does need to be better with RISP and in high leverage situations, and shouldn’t get an unlimited leash, but he’s not going to get better unless he keeps getting chances to work things out. And if he does work things out (as we saw in April) or even can replicate his season line to date the rest of the way, he’s likely the most valuable OF’er on the team.

      I was definitely joking around, but I bet the combined career WAR of several if not the majority of teams top ten will be less than the WAR the Orioles get out of Henderson.    ps. The entire top ten of a team, not the ten lists of multiple teams. Is that clear? My sleep gummy is kicking in, I’m in a legal state, and, well, grammar and writing clarity is getting challenging.

      Elias has to get off his butt and trade him. Peak trade value now.        😃
