Email went out earlier: Paul Fry and Kyle Moore will be the guests this time.

Might go, as I like Fry, plus I should be off early enough to get there.

Anyone else going, or will I be the only one subjected to @weams talking about the food?

They are calling in and won't be there if it matters to you.

Not going but wonder if Kyle Moore's splittie is being revamped (oh wait - is he a coach?).  Also, is Papa Frita worried about Lucas or does he see a "brother in (pun intended) arms" to mentor.  Look forward to your "hot takes" (except for the food), if available.  ⚾

Question for Fry:  “How are you going to survive the three batter rule?”    He got yanked during an inning before he’d faced three batters on six occasions, most on the team.     He actually faced less than three batters 16 times, but in the other 10, he was removed between innings.   The new rule doesn’t affect those.

Where is the Hot Stove Show this week? Still at the radio station by invitation? Givens and Mancini are next and then Davis calls Elias and asks for a meeting to negotiate a buyout. Part of their plan. Millions more saved. Davis will not want to stay. We'll be under 40 mill pushing 30 afterwards and Elias can start over. It appears the days of trading major league players for at least one major league player coming back with prospects is over. I guess they'll stop selling jerseys in the Oriole store with names on the back. That will probably be ending soon.. Will fans buy shirts with Alberto and Ruiz on the back?

I went to a lot of games and I don’t remember seeing a lot of Villar jerseys.

I can't imagine there are many Jerseys that have been sold on guys that will be here or was last year.

Honestly, despite your feelings about anyone the moves this week it looks the the major league team hasn't hit bottom yet.

Here’s what bottom is, being as bad as we were last year and not having the #1 pick in the upcoming draft.

    • I always compare where we are in attendance to payroll. As it stands our attendance will be 19th in the league and payroll 22nd. The Twins are at 19th with 130 million dollar payroll which is 22 million higher than ours. I expect the Nats and Tigers to spend a little this offseason so that 130 million mark for 19th place may move closer to 140. Still gives this team 50-60 million to spend on either resigning guys or free agents.
    • Well, the changes to the flex plans this year led both me ($1200 plan) and my friend ($2500 plan) to not renew for next year. The decision to more severely limit playoff presale access and dramatically reduce the discount on food and drinks at the park just didn’t make it worth it to tie up that much money in advance. So, we’ll likely go to far fewer games next year. Given the press reports and online reaction, I have to think we weren’t alone in our decision making. 
    • Rivera and Soto are hitting.   Holliday and Mayo are not.
    • Holliday could fill the role of pinch runner that Mateo would fill. 
    • Yeah. I don’t get that either. SEA would win head to head tie with HOU and push HOU into WC race but it’s irrelevant if the loses don’t match.  
    • Regardless of how down I've been about their recent play, there's always been some hope. Getting some guys back in time for the post season will definitely help.    The way this team has been built requires a group effort. I mean,  Gunnar is a huge star, but the lineup when healthy can be competitive top to bottom. I'm not knocking NY here, but if you can eliminate Judge(almost impossible), you stand a chance vs them. I'm not implying that they will go on a deep run because we've seen how bad it can be, but simply saying that getting healthy and having a shot is the best we as fans could have hoped for with the way this season has gone.
    • So who goes when Westburg and Urias come back?   My first cut is Jimenez.   The second is harder.    Liv Soto is the backup SS so I keep him.     Rivera is a good back up at 1B.   He is out of options.   Then there are  Holliday and Mayo.   Both have options. What's a GM to do?
