I suspect that by 2024 there will be a new GM and you will be praising that man or woman or whomever is the GM and you will forget all about the time you argued with me about Elias.  

Hope.  You hope Elias will have been fired.  And replaced with someone who puts much more emphasis on short-term endorphin hits.

I hope whomever is hired after Elias thinks about both short-term and long-term results.  And doesn't make excuses about why he can't be competitive for 5 years.

LOL. Now you are telling me to root for another team because I don't believe in the way the team is being run.  Did you find a new team when all the previous GM's you thought were mismanaging the team?  

No, I criticized when I felt they were taking the wrong turn, and praised when I thought they were doing things right.  I never thought they were 180 degrees out from everything I ever believed in.  You are currently rooting for a team that you believe is perpetuating a massive fraud on the entire Oriole fanbase and the city of Baltimore.  If I believed that I'd find something better to do with my time.

Really you don't need to tell other people what to do with their time.  It is my time and if I feel like wasting it following the Orioles in the end it is my time. 

Shoot I followed the Frank Kush tenure with the Colts.  So I saw this play out before.

Your argument here is almost incoherent.   Many Orioles players showed improvement last year, and the team won 7 more games than it did the year before despite the fact that almost all its good players had been traded away the previous summer.   The minor league teams also performed much better, and there were many minor league players who improved significantly.     None of that is inconsistent with the thought that wins at the major league level are not the priority right now.    

Pretty coherent:

These guys are so smart that they can make players great.

A lot of guys they had developed in AAA last year will be with the Orioles

The team should be able to win 70 games next season with such greatness around them and two other teams in the division tanking.

Plans <> Excuses.  And nobody ever said five years.  Just that rebuilding a 47-win team with gaping holes in infrastructure might take a bit of time.

Your posts aren't just bad, they're boring.

Oriole fans, the kind who actually enjoy the process of building a good organization, aren't really into you spreading hate and discontent all over every thread.

You said in June that the 2019 Orioles were probably going to set an all time record for worst winning percentage in Major League history.  Perhaps you were spot-on in that analysis, but Elias and his underlings turned a 30-win team into a 54-win team.

I was just responding to Interloper who for some reason tried to make the thread about me.  I am not spreading hate.  I don't hate Elias. I think the whole thing is a fraud predicated by cheating.   I think he will fail here as he has shown me nothing. I think he was terrible at drafting pitchers. 

But you can dream all you want. It is not like I am going into threads looking for places to blast Elias.  If someone mentions me I am going to respond.

Yeah with so many teams tanking it was hard to be the worst team of all time.  They might even have a better record this year than last but I don't think they will be better team even if there win/loss record is better. I  think so many teams aren't trying to win.

Got it.  You don't hate Elias, you just think he's a cheat and a fraud and he's done absolutely nothing positive, and a ton of negative things.  But you don't hate him.

No why would I hate him? Seems pretty silly to hate someone just because they aren't running a baseball team the way I want it to be run.

      Yea.  I feel the same way.  I really do not care strongly one way or another.  Sure, I think it's kind of ugly.  I also think HR's came pretty cheap before.  I like the exciting defensive plays it fosters and of course the random triple & odd carom make for some fun and unique moments.  But I don't think it helps or hurts the team in any substantial way short of helping out the pitching a little.   I sure don't think the players are changing their approaches.  If they keep it as is, that's fine with me.  If they modify it some way, that's fine with me as well.  It does seem like there is some opportunity for some unique seats down there by modifying it slightly.  When I first saw it, it almost appeared like a construction Phase 1.  That might be reasoning for pushing it back so far, allows them some flexibility in the future.   I also don't buy that a Free Agent RH hitter is going to care at all about the wall.   They are getting paid regardless.  I'd think that 1-maximizing payday 2-playing for a winner 3-finding a location that suits your family would be your priorities and your long-term stat line would be very close to the bottom of your list of concerns.

      Any updates on the renovations to OPACY?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Yeah but if you think most of this money is going to upgrade things that are wrong or need improving, such as the ones @accinfo lists, I think you'll be disappointed.   They will be for new features, each one designed to create revenue via premium seating or premium "experience" areas or attractions that bring non baseball fans to the park to spend or sports betting related things. I'm not saying they won't fix some basic things that need it like upgrading the sound system or improving the point of sale technology.   I'm sure they will.   But the focus is going to be on the new attractions which are all designed with revenue enhancement in mind.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      I’m not a lawyer … perhaps @Frobbymight know. Loss of income, future revenues? Damage to their franchise….Even with MASN the Orioles lost a ton on annual tv revenues

      2024 Week 5: Ravens @ Bengals

      By Aglets · Posted

      Congrats to the offense on playing a heck of a game. Lamar was incredible to watch, especially the play when the snap ended up on the ground and he had to run away towards the sideline and still found Likely for the score. It's very frustrating to me that the offense HAD to play so well because of the poor coaching and abysmal defensive play.  It's odd to me that Harbaugh still messes up timeout usage after being a coach in the league for over 15 years.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By CP0861 · Posted

      I have a 3 hour round trip to get to games. I can't speak about other directions, but the stadium is very easy to get to from the south...some more traffic with the earlier start times, but overall - games are VERY easy to get to, imo. You don't have the hike through the city to get to games. I'm a rural guy, and it's really not a big deal. We took the light rail from Cromwell for Game 1 (I usually park in BC or FGH) and it was a breeze. We walked out right after the game, and we immediately caught a direct bus that took us back to Cromwell directly. We did the same thing last year. I gotta be honest - I think the "they've been horrible for half the season" reasoning is pretty lame. Even when they were down (and dealing with significant injuries) after the AS break, they were still essentially a lock to make the playoffs. Then they get healthy-ish with some key guys back riiiiight before the playoffs and look great for a couple of series - but I guess it was too late for everyone?  Come on.  Just say you didn't feel like it. But don't blame August play for not showing up in October.
