I can think of just two reasons: You've decided not to spend a nickel, unless MLB requires it or Elias says it's absolutely necessary, or you're just too inattentive or stupid to understand the situation the Orioles are in.  

“Too inattentive or stupid”?

the question was rhetorical because the two reasons that you posted are obviously what mode the orioles are in and it’s frankly an embarrassing franchise right now. 
I do believe we are on the right path but it’s  piss poor from a marketing perspective to not want to expose fans to the future stars of the club when that is all we have to look forward to.

Am I the only one who thinks it is pitiful that the O’s aren’t tv broadcasting any games this spring? that’s pathetic!

Just above the paywall:

"Sources confirmed the plan is for MASN to televise the Orioles’ March 23 game at 1:05 p.m. against the Tampa Bay Rays and the March 25 game at 6:05 p.m. against the Pittsburgh Pirates."

Guess someone in MASN or the Orioles finally decided how embarrassing it would be to not broadcast one spring training game when every other team is doing so. It's still an embarrassing decision on MASN's part to not cover the team this spring. Two games over the last two weeks of the season is throwing out a bone, but doesn't take away from the ineptitude of the decision makers within MASN.

Of course we get out coverage cut in half with the Nationals. Both fan bases deserve their own network and MASN should go away. MASN still thinks games from last year count as "classic" games. Just a purely lazy network run apparently on a nickle and dime.

      Cowser’s  swing decisions are determined before the pitch is even thrown. And I’ve been saying this all year, and I even said this at the game. I go it’s too early to pinch it for him because his defense is too good but he is 100% going to strike out and that’s exactly what he did with bases loaded. He decides whether he is going to swing a pitch before even thrown This is why he swings at a thrown pretty close to his face . And To be fair,he  had a pretty good season doing that but obviously can be  easily exploited

      Cowser's progress was one of the more encouraging elements this season, especially on the defensive side. I was already crediting him with being Some Kind of Good major leaguer a post back. Between his and Adley's standout bad performances on the HBP and 2-0 count, I give Cowser more of a grace.     Sure he had predetermined intent to swing, but I think the follow through was some raw instinct as hand bones fractured. Adley not swinging was the lowlight how incapacitated he was.    I believe he commands the strike zone, but to feel so low you can't pull the trigger in that spot...sheesh.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      I believe Elias plans to bring in two more SP's, the quality isnt what im sure about. But no question he'll want to replace Burnes. Which is why I didnt comment in this thread yet because Povich might not have a spot open at the beginning of the year.

      Elias: It's on me

      By bobmc · Posted

      So a “Pollyanna” then like me, @wildcard and others (joking of course) 😇 I’m in your camp but really wonder if Elias/Hyde and Co. can truly“flip the script” as @Just Regular alludes.

      So thats because the extra space in the OF allows for more balls to fall in? If so, I don't really see an issue if its providing offense in a different way.

      I'm neutral on it. I don't like how the old dimensions played like a wiffle ball field. Both teams have to play on it and the O's do have two good OF's so in that sense it helps us. RHH will probably hate it so very few would ever sign in Baltimore unless they thought the O's were in World Series contention. If they put it in the middle ground then the dimensions become like every other park and Im not sure I want that. At least Camden Yards plays different.

      I agree with this.  It was a completely idiotic take to criticize the fans.  And Russo on MLB Network did as well.  Did those guys watch this team at all this year? They were under .500 for the last 88 games of the season.....the worst team in the AL East.  These were the home series they played over the last three months: Chicago Cubs (swept and outscored 21-2), Yankees (lost 2 of 3 and needed two Yankee errors to walk off the last one), San Diego (lost 2 of 3), Toronto (won 3 of 4), Washington (split 1 of 2), Boston (split 2 of 4), Houston (split 2 of 4), White Sox (won 2 of 3 but lost last one 8-1), Tampa (lost 2 of 3), San Fran (lost 2 of 3), Detroit (lost 2 of 3). What is that, 15 - 20 in their last 35 home games?  And then they top it off by losing to the Royals 1 - 0 in the first game?  So fans are supposed to be excited and encouraged by that stretch of baseball?   You want people to show up to games, play like the Padres. Don't have your prized prospects go bust, don't have your stars fall off a cliff, and learn how to play fundamental baseball instead of obsessing about each swing's potential exit velocity.
