My point was you were being obtuse, but you like to split hairs on technicalities.  Im guessing the point @wildcardwas making is the relationship with the current front office has benefitted this team in the form of trades. 

Obtuse.  Sort of like the Warden in Shawshank Redemption

So Perry Minasian became the Angels GM in November 2020.   He has been Mike Elias favor trading partner ever since.   First with the Iglesias trade, now with the Cobb trade.  I was wondering with 29 o

I used Yahoo. I also already knew.  The Yahooing was just to skirt your arbitrary condition. I am wondering why you think a post about him should be in Orioles talk.

Carly Rae Japsen threw out a first pitch at an O's game.  I'm not going to start a post about her in Orioles talk.

In my Strat-o-matic baseball league, we once had two owners who often made trades with each other.

One was very shrewd and the other wasn't.   The shrewd one got the best of all the deals, much to his benefit.   For some reason, the not-so-shrewd one liked and trusted the other guy so he made deals with him (that turned out bad) and was suspicious when the rest of us came with an offer.

So I guess the question is, which one is Elias and which one is Minasian?

There doesn't have to be winner and a loser.  They can both get what they want out for the trades.

They certainly could have a good relationship but at the end of the day, the Os are offering up players who LA deemed to help them.  I’m not sure you need to read any more into that that and I certainly don’t think we need to be dramatic about it.

That's interesting.  I can't think of anyone on the OH more dramatic than you.  That is not a put down.   Just a style of writing.

I didn't consider my post drama.   It was a quiz question about something I did not know before I looked it up.   No different from "Who hit the most homers for the O's in 1966?"  Except everyone knows that answer.

Before I Googled him I had never heard of him before.   But he has been quite important to the O's over the last few months.

I Googled his position.  

Apparently other posters didn't know him either without doing a search.   You are the only one that broke the rules.

Per usual, you are being over the top...you are being dramatic.

You started off trying to be cryptic and then whined because CoC didn't "follow your rules" and then you go on about how important he has been to the Os.  Its a bit much.

Why not just start the thread off with, what do you think the connection between Elias and Minasian is and how is It benefitting the team...something along those lines.

Instead you attack it like its some book report.    And I wasn't trying to put you down.  Just saying it was dramatic.  Are you that sensitive that using the word dramatic to describe your posts in this thread is going to hurt your feelings?

When he finally got around to making that post it was good.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      I was hoping that would be this season, but he faded this second half. But even Gunnar not living up to his lofty expectation is still a good player with an .811 OPS.

      Mike Elias simply can't offer Michael Baumann, Cristian Pache, Connor Norby and Kyle Stowers this kind of experience. Jack Flaherty was kind of Meh again, but hey, at least he isn't on Detroit for this weekend. It is a special player to get to watch.    He's reviving some of the Babe Ruth "he hits too brilliantly to let him pitch" stuff, but hombre is going to do whatever he wants to do, it is part of the deal.    It does seem pretty likely the SB to this scale are a 1-time deal with the legs getting the year off from the mound. I do have a baseball-y wish to see if he could be Ken Griffey, Jr. in center field if he tried.

      AL playoff picture

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      Hopefully it will be like giving a blood transfusion to a sickly patient. Yes some players haven't played as well this season, but it's mainly the injuries that have taken it's toll. The lineup gets much better if Westburg, Urias and Mountcastle are back. No longer does Eloy have to play and Holliday can be platooned. Plus O'Hearn will absolutely not see at bats against LHP like he has been recently at times. Webb and Coulombe provide depth to make the bullpen postseason viable. And Coulombe can close games instead of Dominguez assuming he's back all the way.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By survivedc · Posted

      Gunnar stands to improve on: fielding and stolen bases. I also think he’ll have a 1.000OPS season or two before he’s done.

      Maybe they were going by Tony's reaction, not realizing that with the winning run on third there wasn't any point in running.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By OrioleintheATL · Posted

      looks like some of y'all are gonna be pissed when we win 2 of 3 against Detroit, at least one in NY and 2 o 3 against Minn.  I'd be embarassed if I were some of you....projecting the apathy and misery in your own little lives onto our O's.  This is a F upped sport and a team with talent like this can turn on a dime and start winning consistently at any time.  This isn't over.  I you're mad that your life hasn't worked out well......please don't bring the rest of us down.
