Pretty amazing how well the O's did in that draft.  Kjerstad, Westburg, Mayo, Baumler, Haskin...not a bad group.

Ah, Melvin Mora... One of my most favorite underrated Orioles from the past. That's a name I haven't heard in ages. Good times watching him play for the Orioles. He had tremendous heart and tenacity.

That was a bad draft at the top.

Wouldn't mind if tonight's game was rained out honestly. Bullpen needs a break, Adley needs a break, get a free day for the Hays recovery, etc. Avoid the cold night for G-Rod.

And then they get less of a break later on in the season, when they can probably use it even more.  What would the make-up day be for missed game?

True but maybe the team is in a much better position at that time, rest/injury-wise. Or maybe the pitching matchup is much more favorable in the make up game. Impossible to know. But fair point.

Gibson: 4.1 IP, 8 hits, 2 BB, 3 R

Bullpen: 4.2 IP, 0 hits, 8 BB, 1 R 

That's kind of an ugly beautiful contrast, and a nice mini-picture of why in 2020's baseball you might want Kyle Gibson to throw 15% of your regular season innings, and 0% of your tournament innings all at once.

Baseball has taken some steps, but not restrictor plate far enough if they care about professionals like Kyle Gibson having the opportunity to continue their craft in October.     A bunch of 3-game series are fine, but wildcard weekend maybe should get cut down to 20 player rosters.    Make Bryan Baker or Kyle Gibson a real choice for a 72-hour window.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I think that was very true for a lot of years. Too many, really. But I feel like things might have changed this year with the fanbase, as I think the last three and a half months really ripped the shine off of just about everyone and everything associated with the Orioles. I think the attendance at these playoff games and the intensity of the crowd (just based on what I saw on TV and comparing it to 2012 and 2014) reflected how fans felt about the product this year. Even the tone of this board feels different, and I am glad to see it. I don't think people are celebrating regular season win totals like they did in the past, or thinking not being swept in the regular season was ever cool when they got ousted in 3 by Texas when it counted, or having blind faith in Elias. If anything, I think the patience with Elias, Hyde, the coaches, and the players has finally run thin. Hopefully there are no more age excuses for Holliday when we have seen what the other young Jacksons in the majors look like, or Adley when we have seen what a much older and bigger Sal Perez is capable of, or any of our hitters who all came up so small in big moments. And after seeing how active Kansas City was last offseason even on the heels of a 106 loss team, there should be absolutely no excuses centered on small market or budgets. There will be injuries in 2025 like there are every year, but the players who are on the field and healthy need to step up.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      By eddie83 · Posted

      Gotcha.    At times they do things that bother me. In 2014 they created different season plans pushing playoff tickets then they abandoned them. The moment they win some they act like they have been perennial champs.    They are running a business, I understand that. I get trying to leverage success on the field but they misjudge the market and get greedy. The WC prices were too high. The bottom line is they have not had enough consistent success in this market to act the way they do. This isn’t the early 90’s with no Ravens and Nationals.

      I disliked it for aesthetic reasons. Still do.

      I guess I'm just not as in tune with the subtext emanating from an individual I've never actually met as you are. I'm also not as good at analyzing a player's body language as the experts in the game threads.

      I was in favor of it. I am now in favor of a middle ground.

      They could add some special custom seating instead of simply bringing back what they had before.  Some sort of outfield luxury box deal.  Might be a novel addition to the park.

      Adley's health this season

      By interloper · Posted

      I'd love for you to prove this. You can't. The guy has been extremely forthcoming since he's been here. He's done everything he said he would do. Just because we got bounced from the playoffs doesn't make him a liar.
