He is a hero to many and just an absolute class act. I was lucky enough to watch him through the minors.

Britt nailed it!!!! Kudos to Britt!!! Link:

Another great tweet from Locked on Orioles (big fan of Connor there):

Many people, myself included, are likely to have a different opinion of what to do with Mancini after the next 16 days. But these are the thoughts that I think should be consistently held: 1

She speaks of deflating the clubhouse and alienating the fanbase by trading Mancini, then talks about following the model of the 2011 Orioles. A few points: - The 2011 Orioles traded Derrek

At the end of the day the fans want the team to win.

apples and oranges. Chris Davis contract does not equal giving Mancini 2-3 year deal.

Do they still get the comp pick if they tender him in the offseason? If so I think you simply weigh the trade offers against that. 

I believe (not 100%) that they did away with the comp picks in the last bargaining agreement. Can anyone confirm that?

Who mentioned Davis?

How did the Roberts deal work, the second Hardy deal, the second O'Day deal, the Trumbo deal?

How did the Miguel Cabrera deal work out for the Tigers?  Strasburg for the Nationals?

2-3 year deal for Trey isn’t the same as a Strasburg deal lol. Senor Strawman says hi.

The Orioles aren't going to make a qualifying offer to Mancini because if he accepted it the Orioles would have to pay him $18M+ for 2023 which is not going to happen.

Whether there will be comp picks this offseason is still unknown, it is dependent on whether MLBPA and MLB can agree on terms for an International Draft.

And the other examples I cited?

I LOVE the idea that a stupid move isn't a stupid move unless it's a super duper stupid move.

Was the O'Day contract, which led to the O's trading Gausman for salary relief not actually a stupid move?

 

 

 

Also, I would think that someone who is so delicate that they have to ask other posters to not bully them wouldn't be so hateful as to laugh at others.

It's very mean and I now feel threatened.

I'm still amazed that:

  1. The O's tended Trumbo a QO
  2. He didn't take it.
  3. They brought him back anyway

Lol ok Corn. Frobby was butting into a conversation with someone else and saying he’s tired of hearing it. Then don’t read it or ignore it and move on….I see things I don’t like and try my best to ignore them. No reason he can’t do the same. 

 

This board man lol. Middle school theatrics.

You think begging Frobby to not be mean to you is doing your best to ignore them?

I would have thought you would have been more like Graham.

      The very concept is baffling  You are supposed to hit a round ball with an oblong bat and hit it Square.  That is very hard to do  No wonder only a very small % of people on the planet can do it very good.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By ScGO's · Posted

      I know the Brewers are in 1st, but I wonder if they'd be interested in trading Devin Williams if it was primarily MLB pieces being swapped. Looking at their roster, I feel they could use an OF and maybe a 1B/DH lefty bat.  When the time comes, I wonder if something built around around Williams for Ohearn, Santander could come into play? Depends on performance and need closer to All Star Break.  If Milwaukee thinks they can make a run and Williams was healthy, Id probably not trade him

      I have long said that baseball is the ultimate reality show because you just never know what will happen, what personalities will emerge, what fresh talent will shine through.    Very curious to see the show Netflix is doing with the Red Sox this year. I don’t think it will be the last of its kind because behind the scenes of a MLB team for a season is endless drama.

      And it really goes hand in hand. He is hanging in there more this year in ABs, getting into deeper counts so he gets a chance to hit some mistakes. That AB last night was the perfect example of it. If my memory serves he laid off one, and fouled off one prior to the hanger.

      He is having a better year statistically. He doesn’t have a better arm.

      One thing I love about baseball is its constant capacity to surprise you.   I feel like in other sports, players kind of are who they are.   You don’t see basketball players score 15 points per game one year and 27 the next, dropping back to 21 the following year.  You don’t see healthy wide receivers go from 60 catches to 100, then back to 70.   Hockey players don’t score 25 goals one season and 50 the next, then 35.    But in baseball, crazy fluctuation and guys coming out of nowhere is kind of par for the course.  Sure, there are some players who are very consistent from year to year, but it feels like team success is built largely on having several guys suddenly have career years, or players popping out of nowhere.    For the Orioles, nobody had Mateo doing what he’s doing.  Maybe 5% of fans (if that) could have even told you that Albert Suarez was on our roster when spring training started.  By the same token, I’m sure nobody foresaw Hays and Mullins being as awful as they’ve been.   Watching Tampa, last year a whole bunch of their hitters had career years.  This year, most of those same guys are crapping the bed.  But will it continue?  Stay tuned! Anyway, I love the unpredictable nature of the game and can’t wait to see what will happen next.
