Something related to Dillion Tate? Being sent down to AAA since he's off the IL? I also thought Mullins as well. Otherwise just his usual every couple weeks chit chat w/ the media.

That's a roster move.   We don't generally have GM press conferences for those.

He wants everyone to know he had nothing to do with the City Connect jerseys that they'll be wearing tonight.

I dig Elias, man.  Seems like an overall good dude, not afraid to sit in the stands at Yankee Stadium in what's usually a hostile environment.  Sitting there like a Sith Lord, hood up, watching his te

The time is odd.  4:45?  Not 4:30, not 5pm....4:45.

I don't know what to make of that.  Maybe it means he wants to wrap it up in 15 minutes, no questions, etc.  

I can't imagine it'll be a major story though.

He knows the reports are supposed to get off at 5 so he insuring them overtime for the week.

To me Elias is sitting in the catbird seat.   His major league team has the 2nd best record in the MLB.  His prospects are progressing nicely.  His AAA team is winning.   Almost everything he has touched has turned to gold.

He doesn't have to trade anyone but he is no doubt getting calls from GMs all over the MLB.   Some want  his major league players because they are being pushed by prospects.  Some want his prospects because he can't play them all.

He may just being going to talk to the fans about where he is, at the 50 game point in the season and assure everyone that he is push to the playoffs and focused on winning as many games as possible.

I like Elias a lot and I think he's easily been the most accessible GM we've had in quite some time, however I can't imagine him holding a press conference on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend to say we're really going to go for it this year.

Memorial Day Weekend is a prefect and traditional time to look at where the team is and what the focus is going forward.

I don't disagree that it's a good time to look at where the team is.  I just don't think many -if any- GMs call a press conference specifically to make a proclamation like that.

Seems like only yesterday that some of the same people who are now looking to build a cathedral to St. Michael of Elias... were the ones ridiculing "liftoff" after the winter meetings.

Funny how life goes.

Yes…wish we had insight into what offers were made to FA SP. Boras chimed in a bit, but I would rather know that Bassit turned down an $18m per 3 year offer, verses speculation.

Its would be a first of Elias as GM.   He has never been in a position to say the O's were going for it.    In fact  at the deadline last year Elias said the team was not positioned to make the playoffs and then had to fly to Texas and back track on the comments.

Def don't call a press conf for just something like that.

Yesterday our old friend Britt highlighted the Nats’ Mike Rizzo challenging all MLB GM’s to do an ice water challenge for ALS charity.   Rizzo lost his sister to ALS.  I know it’s the Nats but Rizzo mentions that MLB GM’s are a close knit community.   It would seem Elias has to get on board with this at some point to avoid the O’s seeming petty so might as well get on board right out of the gate.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
