I was raised to hate the Yankees first above all else, then the Colts. And then as a Ravens fan I developed a hate for the Steelers and Browns. After that, I’m pretty indifferent. I don’t usually go into individual players, but I was a kid when we lost Mussina and that really pissed me off. I also hated Teixeira for being from Maryland and going to the Yankees. I think the whole Jeffrey Maier thing made me an angry little baseball fan. 

It’s like me as to any Chelsea player who later went to Tottenham.  I talking about the cock-kisser in particular.  That is not what you think, as the cock is Tottenham’s logo on their shirt.

Live look-in at Tony when he hears that Mussina is coming to the 30th anniversary celebration:

What about when Ryan Flaherty went to the Yankees?

Mussina disappointed me too. I take solace in the fact that he never won the WS with them.

Funny how we can both be Orioles fans, but you root for Roman Abramowitz' boys.  I have no love lost for anyone who leaves White Hart Lane for Chelsea. #COYS

Davis doesn't want to get boo'd, probably a good idea. He should just slowly creep away from anything orioles after the way he took money and roster spot for years when he no longer could play. 

But, that's a conversation for another day.

 

For me, this event is an opportunity to remember the best and forget the worst.   On this occasion, I’d cheer Chris Davis for what he did in 2012, 2013 and 2015, and let the negative stuff slide.  

I must say though, I’m underwhelmed by the announced list of players attending this event.

Reboulet had some moments as a utility player on the 1997 Orioles, but Gibbons is a bit of a head scratcher given the PEDs allegations and his Orioles career flaming out in a hurry in the wake of the allegations. 

Reboulet had Randy Johnson's number in '97 post-season.

Guthrie, a very underrated Oriole.  Shoot, I had totally forgotten about him.

He kind of left a bad taste because of how he acted in the O’s - Royals series.   But yes, he was a stalwart for us during several of the lean years.

I don't think Davis would get booed. Time heals all wounds, and it isn't like he wanted to stop being a decent player.

Time heals all wounds but I’m not sure there’s been enough time here yet whereby Chris Davis would avoid boos.

"Baseless assertion". From the literal mouth of the subject of said "baseless assertion".  Totally "baseless" and made up out of thin air. 

Never change kool aid drinkers, never change.  This is a proud franchise who never does stupid, petty things. Any suggestion otherwise is completely 
"baseless".

Adam Jones said that he hadn't gotten an invite, which the team acknowledged and said that an invite was forthcoming.

If they did invite him and he is welcome to attend, he wasn't snubbed.

He is still an active player (although he is unsigned for this season) so perhaps the protocol for inviting him was different.

Is it possible that the team didn't intend to invite him until he said he hadn't been invited?

Sure, but there has been no evidence presented to that assertion. Hence that assertion is baseless.

I am certainly interested in hearing whether any other players were also invited subsequent to Adam's comments, as that would suggest whether the Orioles actually had intended to invite additional players. Obviously if Adam wasn't later invited that would be evidence of being snubbed as well.

The Orioles have had rocky relationships with Mussina and Chris Davis, and they were invited, so I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

What did he do?  I forgot.

I forget exactly but he wore a t-shirt with some annoying slogan on it and made a few remarks that sounded like a backhanded slap at the Orioles.   Not enough to make me dislike him but it seemed out of character considering that he was pretty much a class act with the O’s.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By casadeozo · Posted

      Let’s be clear. He’s pitching like an ace THIS YEAR. this is his first year in mlb and he was considered a back end starter when he was signed.  No one rational would say a 2.5 month performance in your first year in MLB requires the number one prospect in baseball PLUS MORE! Respectfully it’s lunacy.

      I’m not saying we can’t trade for Scott. Or that we shouldn’t trade for someone. More that we basically already have one reliever we don’t have to trade for. But a guy who will likely have a relatively high whip due to command issues but have a well above average k rate… I also just don’t love rentals in general. Hit or miss as to whether they perform well anyway (hey jack flaherty) and then it’s gone. If you don’t win that year it’s all for nothing. For the right cost I’m okay with it, but I don’t want to give up a major prospect for a rental unless it’s the piece that puts us over the top

      They are not in a rebuild. And I don't want to waste time imagining that the team is bad and trading our best young players. As a matter of fact, I hope we don't have to do that for years to come. I envision adding good players not how can we get rid of the good ones that we have. I have waited my whole life to finally have a team this good. I don't mind at all trading good prospects. And have no delusional expectations that we can get value without surrendering value. Nor am I in love with the notion that we have to have a cheap, homegrown team. As a matter of fact, I want and expect the org to spend much more money on payroll than it is doing currently. Lastly, what happened with Gausman is in the past and under a totally different administration (ownership + front office). We were selling then. We are buying now.

      Is there a reason it should be? He’s still walking 5.5+ batters per 9. He’s still got things he can work on. No rush to get him up unless it’s as a reliever down the stretch or a spot start.

      I mean Tanner Scott at least has a Major League track record. How much do you think Scott will really cost? Also, we have more position players and prospects that we could ever use. I understand maybe not wanting Scott, but I don't understand the logic of not wanting surrender any prospects (even some good ones). We almost have to at some point. Otherwise, you have 25 year old top level prospects like Kjerstad, who is in his prime now and killing it at AAA but has no place on the Big League roster. Stowers is even older and has contributed relatively nothing to the Orioles and is now age 26.
