Blackout restrictions need to go die a quick yet painful death.

Odor.. 3-1 with RISP, pop up to short left.  I will be happy when we no longer have players like this playing everyday.

Two unearned runs technically, but the Lyles play (and runner) weren't technically an error / unearned run.

I'd break it down 1 Lyles, 1 Mountcastle, and 1 Odor.

Can't win many games when you give the other team three free runs.  These are the games that are the most frustrating.

The Royals were averaging the second lowest runs scored per game among AL teams coming into today's game. The Orioles (unless there is a ninth inning comeback) have basically gift wrapped a win for the Royals in game one of this doubleheader.

Odor shouldn’t be here.

Nobody defends Owings, useless.

Laskins? Sure gets lots of chances…

Elias’ roster management is his awful. Maybe he should have actually signed some meaningful players (not necessarily top tier, say Chris Archer?)  in the off-season, just a thought.

Inexcusable to lose to a crappy Royals team  like this.. but losers know how to lose which is what this team is.. all this talk last few days of turning corners etc and this team goes out and lays an egg returning things to normal.

Tanner Scott has a 3.51 ERA with a 1.147 WHIP and has a 16.7 SO9 with the Marlins this season. I'm convinced he would be the same old Tanner Scott if he was still pitching for the Orioles. 

His ERA was 4.61 when I looked a few days ago.  I guess he’s had a couple of good outings.

I actually did look his stats up prior to my response.  Outside the shortened 2020 season, he's been worse for us every year than his 2022 season.

      I'm certainly not "fixated" on this. The real issue is the budget. How high will Rubenstein be willing to grow the payroll?

      It will be retired with the first big $$ free agent or extension signed under Rubenstein.

      I have no idea what you are arguing.

      Cool, nice work there.   So? Are we owed a large market? Does DC not deserve their own team? Should the fans of Baltimore just become Redskins fans and not tried to get their own team when the Colts left?  (sorry to bring up football again but come on, that fits). I laid it all out a couple months ago, MLB has more teams bringing home the hunk of metal than other sports since 2000.  The competitive balance is fine.  It's harder?  Yea?  OK it's harder.

      The Cowboys have an owner with deep pockets. I agree 100% … There is some cap manipulation that happens. At the end of the day they have a $255 million limit they are required to operate under. The Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc can decide each year how much they want to add to the luxury tax fund as opposed to not being able to fit a potential move under the cap. Here are the 2024 payrolls for the NFL and MLB   https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/03/mlb-team-payrolls-2024-highest-lowest-mets/73139425007/ Highest $305 million vs $60 million  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/_/year/2024/sort/cap_maximum_space Highest $259.5 million vs $217 million these numbers will likely get tighter once they make additions before the trade deadline.  If you can’t see the difference I’m just wasting my time. The biggest driving force in MLB beyond the ability of some to spend lavishly is the tv markets. The club controls so much of their tv revenue that it’s an unfair game. The moved that created the Orioles didn’t have much of an effect on the Senators tv market which was likely nonexistent then. Plus MLB is allowing contract manipulation like Othani’s contract. Instead of $700 divided by length 10 years, Somehow he only counts as like $46 million which is laughable. Plus they are paying $85 million in luxury tax fees in 2024.    The Orioles were a large market team when the Expos moved to DC. They could afford to spend with the Yankees, Red Sox , and Blue Jays. Could the Orioles afford to pay $85 million in luxury tax fees? Could the Yankees? I know the answer to both.  What grounds ? Who cares ? The impact was astronomical …It made it very difficult to compete in the AL East without tank a thon! It split their tv market in half. Obviously MLB papered over that long enough to get an agreement done.    They turned a large market team into 2 small/mid market teams. The Orioles and Nationals payrolls combined place them only 11th in baseball. Obviously they could afford to spend more. But it’s doubtful either will ever be top 10 for more than a season  or two as they try to hang onto a window.
