I think I like this idea, won't affect anything from center on to right, but big changes in left.  This is NOT my image, but saw on another Board in terms of a rough possible idea: I th

The Orioles expect that it will cost up to $3.5 million to reconfigure the left-field wall at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, money that will be deducted from their rent over the next few years.

Top state officials on Wednesday approved a plan for the Maryland Stadium Authority, which owns the downtown stadium, to discount the baseball club’s rent in exchange for the work that’s being done.

The financials of the project have been released.

So, are you Commander Rick now? 😉

Had an email exchange with Weams before he got sick about weather I should change my name because of the debate going on, and one of the other posters kept complaining it was offensive to him. His guidance was as long as I was okay with RR, then keep it and dont let the hate from others influence your opinions.

You should go with Washington Football Team Rick.

How about Commando Rick? Commie Rick? Comrade Rick? 

What a terrible choice of names for the football team. Hard to say whether Cleveland Guardians or Washington Commanders is worse.

You guys need to stop telling Rick to go commando. This is a family-friendly site.

If he used that name, I wouldn't have any way of knowing whether he was living up (down?) to it. Maybe you would, but I wouldn't. 

I do expect some discussion of that issue and the Commanders in the next few years.

Oh yes. There's going to be no shortage of jokes headed their way.

      I hadn't read that, but it seems we are thinking similar things. 😃

      So true, I also love that surprisingly often you see a play that you've never seen before.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Exactly right. In the playoffs this would be all you need starting wise, if the bullpen gets fixed.

      Trey Gibson 2024

      By Sovaosfan · Posted

      His sophomore year was a disaster, had nagging injuries and didnt pitch well at all. When the season was over Liberty sent him to a training program in Utah. I will not get into why he didn't play his junior season but it's nothing to worry about. We took care or him in HS and travel never threw to many innings.

      FIX THE DANG BULLPEN

      If there is a way to get him work in the minors, then yes....perhaps a "mental health" injury stint.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      It's been a couple months, let's check in on where things sit. Tony's ranking in parentheses: Locks: 1. Coby Mayo (3) - Stud. He won't need to wait till the winter. 2. Cade Povich (5) - Bad start last night but 3.85 xFIP in AAA this year, he's looked really good. 3. Chayce McDermott (8): 14.36 K/9 in Norfolk but 5.74 BB/9 too.  4. Connor Norby (10): .386 wOBA, .309 xwOBA this year - I'm not a fan but he still gets added More Likely Than Not: 5. Brandon Young (26): The move to Norfolk proves they think he's for real. He has the best xFIP in the org (2.17) He hasn't thrown 5 innings in an outing yet though. They're still being cautious with him. 6. Kade Strowd (20): 2.88 xFIP and got bumped to Norfolk. He has a real shot to get added. He could be bullpen depth this year even. Other Names to Watch: Trey McGough - LHP, got bumped to Norfolk. 3.78 xFIP there so far. Luis Gonzalez - 32 year old Mexican league find like Suarez, Cesar Valdez, Miguel Gonzalez, but he'll get a cup of coffee this year the way he's pitching. 3.43 xFIP in 22 IP inNorfolk. Maverick Handley - .246/.357/.396 in Norfolk and reportedly has a strong arm. Do they trade for Blake Hunt if they like Handley to replace McCann next year?  Nick Richmond - Strong numbers in Bowie to start the year, 3.34 xFIP Eligible, but Not Playing Well Enough for Consideration: Hudson Haskin, Billy Cook, Justin Armbreuster, Keagan Gillies, John Rhodes, Carter Baumler, Kyle Brnovich, Moises Chace, Wandisson Charles, Carlos Tavera

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      Elias has so many factors to contemplate in consideration of trade acquisitions.  Among them is how he foresees the 2025 roster (and beyond) and whether trading a player or prospect away will affect that roster.  Luzardo would fit in very well, as we'd have him this year and two more, helping to offset the loss of Burnes after this season. Is it potentially worth losing six years of control of multiple prospects?  It was worth losing Ortiz and Hall and all their years of control for one season of Burnes.  Such considerations make for an interesting aspect of determining who to target and knowing what your max offer would be.  Being on the same page with the other team's GM may still find you on the outside looking in if another team ups their offer enough to outbid you. I'd be in heaven to be able to be with Elias as he has these conversations and to see how he views things.
