These are the same guys that let coaches go to cut costs.

 

I still don't believe those were the reasons they were let go. I think this team is run as cheaply as possible for sure, but I think they used that as a bad excuse to move on from coaches they were ready to move on from.

There is logic to the orioles not spending on the major league roster 

The lack of travel for broadcasters though is just cheap, and shows how little they care about the fans. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not even a large cost 

Yea there is logic.  It’s just terrible logic and it spits in the face of fans.

I just don’t know how much longer I can support this nonsense. I’m gonna need a secondary team for this year and then we’ll see.

It's great logic.

Spend less of the team, pocket more in profits.

That's solid logic from ownership.

I've been wearing a Baysox hat since 2018.

I went with the full mlbtv this year instead of just the Orioles. I’ve always liked the Giants.

I agree.   And we only heard this from the coaches who were let go.   I think the team is building the staff Elias wants.

Is Frederick going to have any non-affiliated baseball season this year?

No idea.

I'm in Florida, never been to a Baysox game.  I just liked the "Ghost Crab" hat so I got one.

They really need to sell the team...like now.

Or MASN now and the team when they blow through the MASN money.

Frederick will again be part of the (semi-affiliated?) MLB Draft League. I went to a few games last season...it kind of played like DII baseball, which is not the fault of the players, it's kinda hard to mash a team of college players who have never met under new coaches for a couple of months in the summer. The Cape Cod League it is not, but it's still baseball and a nice community-centric ballpark.

That being said, I wear a Southern Maryland Blue Crabs hat, which is part of the independent Atlantic League so you get to see some former/aspiring MLB players, and they were for a time managed by Chris Hoiles and you see quite a few former-Orioles minor leaguers/major leaguers cycle through, I guess due to regional familiarity.

No, they are still in that very short season "draft league".

Need PA to die to first.  That’s the hold up, if they intend to sell of course.

The last time this franchise let go of a nickel it was to get a better grip. 
 

Unbelievable. And yet by that I mean, totally believable.
