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.

      How much faith do you have in Elias to address the needs this month?

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      LOL.. IMO with a possible World Series championship on the line, that would be a professional malpractice type move. Especially with how things turned out last year trying to do it on the cheap at the deadline. IMO the stakes are too high this season to consider settling for bargain basement type shopping. There’s absolutely no credible reason to do that. Plus we are on the verge of messing up some guys’ careers like Stowers, Norby. You can’t just bury guys at AAA forever and never give them opportunities. And you can’t keep selling guys like Gunnar and Adley (who are ultra competitors) on “Well, we might really try next year. Maybe?” They don’t get these seasons of their careers back. And as much as I or any other poster may want to win, those guys on the field want it a WHOLE HECK OF A LOT MORE. IMO the org has to pick a course and do the right thing by the players (both those on the roster and those who belong in the Big Leagues).

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      No you don’t need a star but Vavra is below replacement level.  Norby may hit enough to justify his defense but the Os aren’t likely to go with poor D up the middle.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By AlbNYfan · Posted

      I have concerns about Holliday. I know SSS and the O's put a lot of pressure on the kid. T-shirt day, his first appearance. Really?? Who the F planned that? Still, I saw nothing that impressed me, hitting, fielding or arm. I know all the scouts had him one or close to it. I sometimes wonder if their ratings had anything to do with his father's success. So, the O's send him back down to fix him. I think this kid lived baseball and was probably given the best coaching on a near daily basis by his dad, players and coaches on the Cardinals. He's young and may be great. Sell high. Mayo...everyone looks at the O....where to hide him?  No way 3rd. This site is pretty tough on players that play poor D.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Passan drew this link between Dombrowski and Elias in his big piece for this week.     That's the basic question before us as Elias has excelled setting it all up...he's playing the highest stakes games now.      Adley's 3.5 years is perhaps ballpark similar to the timeframe the Phillies' great players remain a championship caliber nucleus.     Adley's final 3 years - unless payroll grows, the opportunity for rosters with Burnes-Santander-Kimbrel level supporting players may shrink a little. It's more about ensuring a window doesn't close without a team maximizing its opportunity. In this regard, the Phillies and Orioles are quite similar, though Dombrowski's counterpart in Baltimore, Mike Elias, gets a little more leeway because the Orioles' period of contention is longer than any team's. The Phillies' isn't short, by any means, but every year Bryce Harper (31 years old), Trea Turner (31), J.T. Realmuto (33), Zack Wheeler (34) and Aaron Nola (31) age is a year closer to an inevitable downturn. That's when, as an executive in charge, you push. And when it comes to a willingness to look past what a computer system suggests is proper value and potentially overpay for talent, nobody matches Dombrowski. Robert fits the bill and fills a need.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Since I currently have Basallo 3rd, guess I have to be consistent and say he would go first.  I think Mayo and Basallo have the chance to be absolute impact power bats while I think Holliday has a chance to be a very good OBP guy with some pop.  I'd only say Basallo because he has more risk than the other other two and Orioles seem to be gradually transitioning from catch to 1B (he's basically split time between C and 1B since he was allowed to throw. Saying that, Basallo may have the highest ceiling bat wise of the three.  Mayo is the safest bet because he's major league ready now and has developed that game power now. The arm strength gives him a chance to stay at 3B for a bit but even if he transitions to 1B or RF he'll have value. Holliday hit just .222 in June in AAA but had a .444 OBP because if his ability to draw walks, walks that he might not get with major league umpires until he establishes himself.  Really, I'm not trading any of them, but if I had to, it's Basallo followed by Holliday.
