The Nashville comment may also be desired hyperbole.

Hey John, if you’re reading this, no one gives a chicken fried f*** about your wife’s country music production company. Move to Nashville, sell the team and leave it here. Everyone wins, you ****

Is it possible that the buyer was planning to move the team and John nixed the deal for that reason?

Also it’s interesting that Peter prepared a new trust and power of attorney only 18 days after the medical event. 
 

I’m loving the airing of family dirt. Ok back to reading. More comments later

I agree with most of this. Two comments.

I know a little about the Angelos Law Firm. Once a behemoth in asbestos litigation, and the principal source of the funds that enabled Peter Angelos's group to win the 1993 auction for the Orioles, it is down to 23 lawyers on its website (I think it was around 30 when I checked six months or so ago), probably with zero expertise in the issues likely to be involved in this dispute. I don't know much about Maryland lawyers, but the ones Louis hired appear from their website (they are in same firm) to have very significant ability, experience, expertise and reputation. That suggests to me that Louis isn't just screwing around but is prepared to spend substantial maoney pursuing this. 

 

 

Peter Angelos built a  big law firm that never took a partner.  Most lawyers will gladly tell you this just doesn't happen.  I suspect since he has been out of commission this has to have had a negative impact on that practice.  Certainly from many lawyer friends of mine who interacted with him he was always the dominate player in that practice.

You also can't keep going back to the asbestos and tobacco well.

We all hope.

Why does this seem like a dual edged sword for Orioles fans? Conventional wisdom says a new owner possibly couldn't be worse, but O's fans know it can always get worse. 

I'm not hoping here.  I know better.

I don't see how any of this results in the Angelos family losing (being forced to sell) the franchise.  There's nothing terrible here.  There's no one using a racial slur.  There's no instance of sexual assault.  

It's just a stupid family that nobody likes fighting amongst themselves.

There is no sex scandal….

 

John is a sleaze ball if it’s true. 

I don't know if John is a sleaze ball or not but if you ever been subject to a law suit the lawyer from the other side is going to make you sound as bad as possible.  This is one side of this story.  I don't know how much is true or not.

If it makes John Angelos look bad, it's probably all true.

Honestly, Lou seems like a jealous child. I think many fans agree with the general direction of the team since Peter stopped making decisions. All of his assertions about John are vague and conclusions. No descriptions of how John harangued Mrs. Angelos, for example. It seems more designed to air family drama than present a legal case.

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.

      I agree. You have to wonder if the Yankees are behind him getting hit. Perhaps the ghost of George has struck
