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 ****

Agree. This part of the narrative is so silly.

If the Oakland A's can't relocate to San Jose out of a stadium leaking raw sewage, then I don't have any worries about the Orioles moving out of one of the best ballparks in all of baseball. 

Especially when the state of Maryland has pledged $600M for upgrades that should only help (gambling) increase cash flows to ownership.

Actually none of it is(except I'm guessing that he would rather sell vs move).  Its what I know and its an easily found fact that he has a house/lives in the Nashville area.

Isn’t the fact he already has a home there proof of how flimsy this is as a motive to go through all the hoops required to move the team?
 

I see no reason why the Orioles being in Baltimore offers an impediment to his wife’s career, or why the move to Nashville would improve it, especially if they already live there. I suppose he could call in favors to get his wife in some extra shows but that seems so tenuous compared to the other factors at hand. And I haven’t researched this but I’m guessing it’s completely normal for sports team owners to spend a lot of their time elsewhere working on their other business ventures whatever they are.

Yea, they aren't moving. This has never been a real threat in any way.

Let's say John Angelos really does want to move the Orioles. I can't see MLB owners approving relocation given the Angelos family's tumultuous relationship with the commissioner's office and fellow owners. They would force a sale before considering relocation of the Orioles.

Right...which is why this isn't a serious discussion.

If they owned the Nashville Orioles it would immediately make her a star! Just like James Dolan and his band!

I didn't notice it until yesterday either, I was too caught up in the drama of this story. 

I don't get into this stuff at all.   I think it's a whole lot of nothing.   It's all about the money.  Louis Angelos wants more of it.   All the other stuff is just window dressing for his lawsuit.

I just want the Orioles to be owned by a stable ownership group for the first in forever.

      Lol it'd be pretty funny if Getz is so excited/distracted about the potential Crochet trade he just dumps Fedde to us.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By interloper · Posted

      If anyone is looking for the smallest of Crochet silver linings, Elias has said things in the past like (paraphrasing), "there's no hard science on innings and we just do our best", and, "it's time to win so we won't be babying Grayson with innings", etc.  So while he usually does try to play it safe with innings when it makes sense to, I think he knows it's all kind of a mystery, and in certain scenarios you just roll the dice.  Still don't think it's very likely based on the type of guys he normally acquires. A guy like Scherzer really seems like his preferred type of dude, assuming he's healthy and the Rangers sell.

      Chayce McDermott 2024

      By emmett16 · Posted

      McDermott’s stuff is pretty nasty.  I’m really curious to see how/if it translates to MLB. My observations from last night and in general are: 1. He takes a long time to get going.  Walked the lead off batter on 5 pitches in the first.  Walked the lead off batter on 5 pitches in the 3rd.  Would have walked the lead off batter in the 2nd, but the batter swung at 3 pitches out of the zone.  Walked the second batter of inning 2.  Through 3innings he was at 58% strikes. 2. The swing and miss he gets are almost all on pitches out of the zone.   3. When he gives up hard contact it tends to be in the beginning of games.  3rd out in 1st was smoked right at the RF. 4. As he settles in batters take awful swings against him.  You really see some awkward swings at pitches way out of the zone.  It looks like the batters have no idea what’s coming and where it’s going.  He keeps the batters off balanced and induces a lot of swing and miss on really  bad swings.    5. he changes levels well.  His fastball is a weapon up on the zone when batters are looking for the low curve/slider/change.    The stuff is undeniable.  You can tell no one is comfortable hitting against him.  I guess my question on him is if MLB caliber hitters will be able to lay off the pitches out of the zone.  I feel like if a team game planned him like the Yankees did for Povich’s second start and just not offer at pitches that were even close, he’d be in a world of trouble.  Even with the 71% strikes last night Is still like to better command.  I’d like to see him challenge hitters inside the zone and not depend on chasing so much.

      I couldn't care less what we get in August-Sept as long as he is in good shape to give us 5 innings in Game 2 and beyond in the playoffs.

      Do Jon Miller and/or Gary Thorne belong in the Orioles Hall of Fame?

      By Philip · Posted

      Haven’t even read the comments before saying yes. Compared to the embarrassing mess that is the current entire broadcast system, I cannot imagine anything other than regretful tears that Thorne and Miller are gone.  Has anyone equaled the “He’s not gonna throw it at all!” Call? And not just that one. “CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? REIMOLD….and CLEVENGER.” Not fancy wordplay, but an infectious excitement, and a perfect Bass baritone voice with just a hint of gravel in it.  Again, it’s not just the word choice, but the way they are delivered, and the voice that delivers them.
