Well it does feel like living in a dystopian scifi movie already being Orioles fans. 

In 2028 after winning the AAA championship with an incredible undefeated season, GM Mike Elias says Adley, Grayson Rodriguez, DL Hall and others are really close to being ready.  Sees big things in the 30’s. 
 

In other news, the parent club Tennessee Dirtbags, lost their 17th straight after blowing a 9th inning 4 run lead without retiring a batter, setting a somber mood for the post game music festival headlined by Margaret Valentine. (Wife of John Angelos).

Elias doesn't need any more excuses. He's already given himself a pass on the Orioles' entire season. It's as if he doesn't want to weaken the Tides or jeopardize the Orioles' MiL ranking. The Or

How can you not love a rotation fronted by Lyles, Watkins and Lakins? We can turn our TVs off until Bradish, Rodriguez and Hall begin to filter up through the system.  This team will be totally u

Hyde said Means getting second opinions on elbow. Gonna be awhile - to get results and for him to pitch again. Hyde doesn’t know if Means will pitch again in 2022. Said doesn’t expect him back anytime soon #orioles

The second opinion is probably about surgery.I think Hyde sort of implied what is happening

Lakins is a relief pitcher, I don't get this move. And I have hard time buying Means will be back in 10 days. 

 

Did Connolly actually credit Elias for DFAing "guys he traded for" after he kept them on the 40-man roster all winter and Mattson for the last two unneccesarily? Everyone had Smith on their top 30 lists, some as high as top ten and I just couldn't figure it out. The second I saw video of him I saw a one trick pony (good slider) without much else.

These quotes by Hyde tell me he's going to surgery. It's always a hail mary to get that second opinion.

I'm hope this isn't one of those situation in which they try to rest and rehab it and all it does is postpone the surgery.

If he gets cut now he can be back next year.  Maybe for the start of the season, maybe by the all star break.  If they let it drag on and he still needs the surgery he could easily end up with 8 IP over a two year period.

Connolly has been no different than the state media on MASN.

I wouldn't say that. He was very critical of the Orioles when Elias arrived and got rid of most of the old school scouts and minor league personnel. Like me, it dried up most of our contacts.

Rooting to not hear anything about platelet rich plasma this month, and ideally quick treatment if that is indeed what is necessary.    He would be about same timeline as Boston James Paxton or Minnesota Kenta Maeda from last year if he goes this week.

Fangraphs offseason tracker still has Brett Anderson, Trevor Cahill and JA Happ as positive 2021 WAR's remaining jobless.   

Teheran and Foltynewicz are younger, Hamels is accomplished.

The O's need to sign someone.  They will more likely "invest" in the future of the club.

Thanks for posting. I pray Elias signs one of these guys.

      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.
