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.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I think that was very true for a lot of years. Too many, really. But I feel like things might have changed this year with the fanbase, as I think the last three and a half months really ripped the shine off of just about everyone and everything associated with the Orioles. I think the attendance at these playoff games and the intensity of the crowd (just based on what I saw on TV and comparing it to 2012 and 2014) reflected how fans felt about the product this year. Even the tone of this board feels different, and I am glad to see it. I don't think people are celebrating regular season win totals like they did in the past, or thinking not being swept in the regular season was ever cool when they got ousted in 3 by Texas when it counted, or having blind faith in Elias. If anything, I think the patience with Elias, Hyde, the coaches, and the players has finally run thin. Hopefully there are no more age excuses for Holliday when we have seen what the other young Jacksons in the majors look like, or Adley when we have seen what a much older and bigger Sal Perez is capable of, or any of our hitters who all came up so small in big moments. And after seeing how active Kansas City was last offseason even on the heels of a 106 loss team, there should be absolutely no excuses centered on small market or budgets. There will be injuries in 2025 like there are every year, but the players who are on the field and healthy need to step up.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      Gotcha.    At times they do things that bother me. In 2014 they created different season plans pushing playoff tickets then they abandoned them. The moment they win some they act like they have been perennial champs.    They are running a business, I understand that. I get trying to leverage success on the field but they misjudge the market and get greedy. The WC prices were too high. The bottom line is they have not had enough consistent success in this market to act the way they do. This isn’t the early 90’s with no Ravens and Nationals.

      I disliked it for aesthetic reasons. Still do.

      I guess I'm just not as in tune with the subtext emanating from an individual I've never actually met as you are. I'm also not as good at analyzing a player's body language as the experts in the game threads.

      I was in favor of it. I am now in favor of a middle ground.

      They could add some special custom seating instead of simply bringing back what they had before.  Some sort of outfield luxury box deal.  Might be a novel addition to the park.

      Adley's health this season

      I'd love for you to prove this. You can't. The guy has been extremely forthcoming since he's been here. He's done everything he said he would do. Just because we got bounced from the playoffs doesn't make him a liar.
