Nick does not want to see the O's to put a good effort into signing Tex only to be left at the altar - same goes for the fans. We have heard the "confederate money" excuses way too often. AM/PGA needs to prove to everyone that we have turned the corner... we are in this way too deep now.

If we don't sign Tex, we trade Roberts, which is basically RBIs for Nick. So then Nick wouldn't have any protection nor anybody to drive in.

So why should he stick around then?

I honestly wonder that IF B-Rob is traded, would Markakis be our lead-off hitter? Who else is there with the OBP?

Plus, Roberts said on the Scott and Anita Show yesterday that Nick texted him on Sunday to ask if Tex was at the Ravens game. If anybody thinks that Kakes and BRob are not HIGHLY interested in the outcome of the Tex saga, they are clearly mistaken!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh boy! We are getting to the point where we have exhausted ALL there is to talk about in regarsd to Tex until the deal is done.

So basically the Texeria saga will determine how quickly our Orioles can return to contention. He signs with us two or three years he doesnt = ???? correct.

I don't see Markakis liking that one bit because it would hurt his #'s and lower his value in FA.

As a #3 hitter and corner OFer he's looking at 15-18 million a season. As a leadoff hitter that # goes down IMO...

How bout we re-start a thread with what we know as facts absent all "insider" information; cuz what we are looking at now is a predictable hand full of nuthin. What we know: Boras is really good and Teix has intimated he'd love to play at home and PA has a very (in his mind) rational bottom line. Which jibes with what every national outlet has reported.

Ain't that the truth?

Do you think Markakis heard that by reading the Tex threads on the hangout? Like, maybe he's sitting at his computer hitting refresh as we speak? :eek:

Bingo. No Tex = forget about competing for the next 4-5 years at least, especially if the Sux get him.

Tex = winning.

That thread would be no fun. The thread title would be "O's won't up offer to Tex, shift focus to Tim Redding and Paul Bako!!!!" :eek::eek::eek::eek:

      Mountcastle activated, Jimenez optioned

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      Loved seeing Eloy's enthusiasm at joining the team over the summer, but yeah it was way past time for this.  I didn't realize he still had options remaining, so I guess he's still around for a 'break glass in case of emergency' moment - hopefully he's done for the year though.  And declining the option is beyond a no-brainer, so that is in all likelihood it for Eloy as an O.

      How "fired up" are you with this Yankee series?

      By CP0861 · Posted

      I've been fired up every day since my divorce hearing on 11/12/19. The third best day of my life. In all seriousness, life is good. Remember the 15 straight losing seasons? They're not perfect, but today is a new day and yesterday doesn't matter. Westburg, Urias, et. al. have returned, our BP is stronger and we have our best 3 SP set to go this series. We're 6-4 versus them this year, including taking 2/3 last time we were in NY. Pick your heads up a little bit. Will they win the WS? No, I don't think so. But guess what??! They've got a chance! I was at the game Sunday, and I'll be tuned in to every inning of the last 6 games. LFG.

      I need to be a better fan

      By Too Tall · Posted

      I don't think there is any way to be a sport's fan and not require some form of therapy. For me, OH is my therapy center. If you invest any part of your being in a sport's team, there is no prescription for tranquility. You just have to come to a strategy that best allows you to follow your team. Mine for the most part is to walk away and turn it off. Wife gets mad at me because I won't keep watching a game when we are losing or playing poorly. Says I'm not a real fan. She's probably right but I don't view watching poor performance of any kind as a good use of time. I also don't get too much into second guessing or modern statistical analysis. Not interested in coulda - woulda - shoulda and though I am awed by all the data, it's just too much for me to digest and use. I let you all do that for me. If I think it's over the top I may say something but mostly enjoy the read. In this way, OH has helped me get through the down years and the good ones too. And it's also great in between.  So, in some fashion, we are all addicted to a game - a team. The trick is to remember this is entertainment - not life. And that can be hard. Now beat the Damn Yankees and make me feel better cause the way you've been playing is killing me 😄!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
