Was at the game today (2/26 @ Tigers)  The young guys certainly looked the part. -Vavra had two impressive diving plays at third and was spraying line drives all over the place. -Norby

I’ve decided we need a thread that’s nothing but sunshine and flowers.  If you see articles that fit the bill, post them here!   Here’s today’s installer from Roch: https://www.masnsports.com/blo

Not an article but cool that he’s donating his hair to a group that finds wigs for people with cancer.

Lease signed at the All Star break. We pick up Scherzer or Degrom for the pennant run when the Mets and Rangers season turns unbearable. Degrom will be healthiest in years when we get him.

Now back to the regularly scheduled me. 

Means comes back early and doesn’t miss a beat. Hall and GRod exceed expectations. Kremer and Bradish prove last season wasn’t a fluke, making Gibson expendable so we trade him for a handful of blue chip prospects.

Here's my happy thought:

I watched Yusniel Diaz strikeout and ground to short in a spring training game today........ and he was wearing a Dodgers uniform.  I'm happy we don't have to wait for him to get healthy and play the "wait and see what he can do when healthy" game in the Irioles organization.  He was in the way of too many good young players.

When the O's eliminated the Red Sox from the post season on September 28, 2011 in the bottom of the 9th set up an off season that convinced me and a lot of others that a corner had been turned.  I really looked forward to seeing what would happen in 2012 but never expected the team to be as good as it turned out to be that year.

It was great to be an O's fan from 2012 to the middle of 2018.  I get the feeling that we as fans are on a similar threshold right now.  Hopefully it will last a lot longer this time.

This is a good one.

Substitute “August of 2017.”  The O’s were 7-21 in September/October that year and were awful from the get go in 2018 (8-20 in March/April and just as bad thereafter).   

Now back to happy talk.   Heston Kjerstad!  Terrin Vavra!  Jackson Holliday!

Stoking out of my mind.  Mostly because games have started but more importantly because we have so many talented players to watch.  Is it April yet?!?!? 

I can't remember a spring training where I was just as excited, maybe more, to see the guys who won't make the opening day roster.

      Any updates on the renovations to OPACY?

      By allquixotic · Posted

      Funny thing is, if the O's win, I'm generally so psyched on my way out that I don't even notice all of these annoyances. I'm just happy that the team won. That was my experience a lot this year when the team was doing well. Unfortunately about half of my 13 game season ticket plan was in August and September, plus I got to watch one of the pathetic WC games. You can smooth over a fair bit of fan annoyance with winning, but at the end of the day, someone has to care about the little things and actually invest money to make them better. There's no longer any question about whether the O's will be here to stay. The government and the team are aligned: OPACY and the Orioles are here, and we're going to make the best of what we have, and make it a centerpiece of Baltimore. That's great. But now they have to put their money where their mouths are. Show fans from all walks of life that we are able to reimagine OPACY and the surrounding area in the image of an efficient, clean, 21st century facility, starting with things as basic as infrastructure and plumbing, and ranging as far as parking, public trans, and food at the park. Honestly? I sort-of understood why they weren't investing in anything in the years when (1) the team was bad, and (2) ownership wasn't invested in the team, and (3) the renewal of the lease with the Maryland Stadium Authority was in doubt. The vast majority of points (1), (2) and (3) above are now non-issues, or have been majorly mitigated in the past 2 years. So it's time to make things right. Otherwise why bother with the long-term commitment at all, if you're just going to let the project languish?

      Get Gurgi on massive doses of Xanax so he's positive in every game thread.

      Hurricane Milton has apparently ripped the roof of the Tropicana Dome to shreds

      https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local-news/the-roof-of-tropicana-field-was-ripped-off-by-hurricane-miltons-winds And the hurricane was a direct hit on Sarasota... in coming days we will se ehow the Orioles' facilities there fared.   I assume that the fall instructional camp had already completed?

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      I still think Soto (Juan, not any of the others) checks off all the boxes here.  Insanely productive, plays hard, can rub opponents the wrong way on the field but is generally liked off of it.

      We're not a mid-market team. Small market for sure.

      Things looking bleak for KC. They left 11 runners on base, got a taste of their own medicine, I guess.
