I said I would be happy to trade Mountcastle and Stewart... wouldn’t you be? Is anyone on the team off limits? I’m thinking “no”

But you won’t get anything for either one

To say you won't get anything for Mountcastle - a top 100 prospect who crushed last summer - is absurd.  There is no way you can say that with a straight face.

The problem with guys not coming up is not just at the major league level.  People see it just up here say we want to bring up Wynns.  He isn’t on the 40 man so you have to make room for him by releasing someone else.  Let’s just say the release Sisco to make room on the 40 man.  Now you are short at Norfolk so you have to make A move Adley to Norfolk but you don’t want to push him.  Then you either have to trade for one or sign one off waivers.  It isn’t just a 1 for 1 move.

Well, it’s probably  irrelevant because it won’t happen,  but let’s see if his name comes up any.

It's incorrect and insane.  Irrelevant isn't the right word for it.  C'mon, you're a smart guy.  What in the world are you talking about, that we wouldn't get anything for Mountcastle?

You have got to be kidding. Mountcastle has tons of value.  We would get more for him than for Mancini, for example, not that we would consider trading Mountcastle.

Of course we should consider trading him. If we are discussing trading Means, shouldn’t we be listening on anyone? But it’s irrelevant because he won’t be traded.

Actually...No.

Norfolk has 3 catchers right now. Wynns, Cumberland and Taylor Davis. If you send Sisco down, you aren’t short. To get the 40 man spot, they can call up Richie Martin and put him on the 60 day DL, as he is hurt and out for the season. Or, put Marc Screlor on the 60. Open roster spot.

If Means had five years of control left no one would be discussing trading him. No one.

(Yes I know there's always the "listen to a deal for anyone" concept.  But realistically no rebuilding team is going to trade a top 100 prospect with 5 years of control left).

Kremer has two pretty good inning and one where he really struggled with his command, a bad strike zone, and a poor catcher.

He still can right this and have a 5 inning effort that he can look at as progress, IMO, despite the runs allowed.

      I'm guessing that they could solve it this offseason if they want to. It's easy to put up a wall. What's difficult is putting in seating.

      I think you can read a lot about the way he said things and his emotions while speaking. Just my opinion.

      I think the opposite, Astro fans have an expectation of success, Oriole fans don't.

      It could be a boon if you are targeting pitchers that are in a situation in which they need a one year make good deal to rehabilitate their value. Other than that,,,

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      By ThomasTomasz · Posted

      The 13 game plan is guaranteed playoff tickets…….if you purchase them.  Since I assume you went through the team and chose your seat and purchased it with a card, you should get it back.   At least for me, my wife and I thought we were going to be moving 30 minutes away from our house, but instead of an hour from Baltimore, it would be 1 hour 45 minutes, so season tickets of any sort didn’t make sense.  I also figured that we would get hit with 4 pm games mid-week to start, so it all just didn’t make sense.   I am also surprised that my rep didn’t reach out to ask why.  I opted in before as a 29 game holder, in 2014, 15 and 16.  I went back to 29 games this year after two seasons with 13, and I’ve been a Birdland member since 2014.  Oh well.  We may be opting back into 13 next year, or not at all.  We will have to see.  My wife will sometimes get tickets from work, and they were always when we had tickets, so it didn’t make sense to take them.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      That Jimmy Fallon movie was Fever Pitch.  Came out in late 2004 I think, because they had enough time to have the last scene being him and Drew Barrymore on the field in St. Louis celebrating the World Series win.  It actually was a really good movie at the time. But because the Red Sox and their fanbase became completely insufferable beginning with that comeback against the Yankees and carrying all the way through their 4 championships without so much as a loss in the World Series, it is hard for me to still enjoy it. But the underlying premise and that question of what has your favorite team ever done for you definitely resonated and certainly does even more so now with the Orioles.  And for Os fans the answer to that question is over the last 40 years, they haven't done much at all.
