Nope, still an amateur.  Never had anyone willing to pay me for it.

I hate to say it but until he can put up some numbers like he did before they started cracking down on the sticky stuff then I don’t think I totally believe he was as good as he seemed.

Got a real chance to match last year’s loss total of 110. 

I hope not.  I mean, Means being out for the year with Tommy John certainly helps that but you also hope that G-Rod and other prospects come up and contribute to keep us from that number.

In other words, if we lose 110 again this year, we're completely proper ****ed, with or without Means.  I admit I was being a bit hyperbolic in saying we iced 100 losses.  If we do, it's because we've got Harvey up here and the prospects are miserable.

I hope this is the push Elias needs to start promoting prospects up from MILB. And that Means isn’t seriously injured.

I think Elias has made it clear that he's going to do what he wants, when he wants.  He's not on anyone's time table other than his own.

I hope Means isn't seriously injured but I don't know forearm tightness to mean anything else other than a precursor for Tommy John.  I'm pretty sure that he didn't just blow his arm out tonight but also the fact that it's tight probably means that he's missing a few starts and he needs to be handled with care from here on out.

Elias is probably now wishing he had made a couple waiver claims for SP’s over this past week.

Mat Latos is pitching for the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs of the Atlantic League, maybe we can entice him to come pitch. Though the Blue Crabs went to the Atlantic Lg playoffs last year, so the Orioles might not be as enticing.

      Glad Bob Melvin and I don’t see eye to eye on that issue Well said, that make two of us, Bunting Ced down 5-3 with nobody out that late in the game is absurd.

      Sorry to hear this--wishing you a sound recovery, in time for the O's run to the Series! (That would speed up the healing!)

      Santander is a good case for the Rule V draft. That's unfortunately the same system that's going to make his next contract potentially look bad. If only he were a couple of years younger. It's hard to commit 25+M to a player at 30+. He's going to be missed in Baltimore, on the field and by the fans, but he's someone that they're going to have to let move on.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By sevastras · Posted

      While I agree and find your comment funny, maybe just say something along the line of”Don’t give up on this team” or “Quite being Debbie downers” instead of assuming they are projecting the own misery in their lives. People might take it better if it doesn’t feel like a personal attack. Either way, that win felt good and I HOPE this is finally the turning point going into the playoffs soon.

      I've made it clear that if they don't sign Santa and Burnes I'm ok with it as long as the money is allocated to other players they feel that fits their profile better .You know you have people on here like SG who only hears what he wants to hear. I need to learn to ignore that guy.

      I also think Santander will age better than Trumbo, despite my repeated comparisons of the two players. But I don't know that he will age better than Trumbo and all of the other one dimensional sluggers who were enjoying the retired millionaire sports star lifestyle by their mid-30s, and I don't want the Orioles to be on the hook when the world finds out in 2 or 3 years. Re-signing Santander to a 4 year, $80 million dollar deal is something the DD/PA regime would have done. Hopefully the ME/DR regime is smarter than that (and I think they are). 22nd percentile is really bad, man. And it's unlikely to improve in his 30s.
