34 today. Most of my points were on the Blue Jays 200 game winner.

Impressive.  My most points were from the Wash 200 game winner.  I thought the Expo path would help...  Not really.

9/9, 18 score today. I thought this one was fairly easy if you can remember some random all star players for column three and it's always easier when there's an Orioles category.

I just learned about a new daily gsme called the Immaculste Grid, www.immaculategrid.com. Basically it’s a 3x3 grid that you need to fill in with baseball players who meet the criteria of both th

Combined for a .1 on the Os portion. Jeff Manto .04, Scott Moore .02, and Jeff Fiorentino .04. Got a .008 on Casper Wells in the As outfield. Bombed out on the negro leagues and ended up 8/9.

They’re giving everyone an incentive to learn a little bit about the Negro Leagues, which is good.   I looked at a list of the Negro League players who are in the Hall of Fame (some of them also played in the AL/NL later), and I only knew 13 of the 34.  But I haven’t missed a Negro League question yet

I’m definitely for it. I got Larry Doby at 1B which I felt good about but I definitely need to brush up. My wrong guess was Hank Aaron. I thought his career started earlier I guess.

Got a pretty good one going, 8/8 so far totalling 37 points, and 7 of the 8 played for the Orioles at one point.

Have hit a wall trying to come up with Dbacks/White Sox.   Gonna leave it alone for a few hours and see if it can percolate in my brain until something clicks.

What did you get for Oriole HOF. I got 0.7, but it wasn’t the two you mentioned. I got 97 overall. Had a lot of popular answers.

9/9, 19 rarity score, all 9 squares filled with Orioles!   19 ties my all time best.   And it took less than 10 minutes, so you taxpayers who pay my salary don't have much to gripe about.

Spoiler

Don Baylor 3%, Mike Bordick 0.5%, Reggie Jackson 9%

Fred Lynn 2%, James McCann 2%, George Kell 0.7%

Mark McLemore 0.6%, Elliott Maddox 0.2%, Luis Aparicio 0.7%

I'll never do any better

Today I learned Andy Van Slyke was the 6th overall pick as an American high schooler, had a 40 WAR career, but was toast by 34.

3-4-5 before him were Washington quarterback Jay Schroeder, Juan Bustabad and other ex-Oriole Brad Komminsk.

I remember football announcers saying Schroeder "played baseball" back in the day, but didn't know the game well enough then to appreciate he was nearly Mauer, Wieters, Adley, etc. on draft pedigree.     Mauer famously had the Bobby Bowden QB offer, and I guess Schroeder kind of went that life path.

The scouting director picking Bustabad that high must not have been superstitious about names.

I had a 9/9 57 yesterday.

Baylor, Henderson, Hunter

Lynn, Scherzer, Gehringer

Ford, Bordick, R. Roberts

i had better guesses for Mets/As (Isringhausen) and A’s Hall of Famer (Grove), but I wasn’t quite sure of either one, and I’ve been burned lately on “think so but not quite sure” answers several times and decided not to risk it   

Today, on the other hand, was a mess, as I had nothing but wild guesses for PIT/LA and PIT/CLE.

Pete Reiser (.2), Emmanuel Clase (2), Everth Cabrera (.07)

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
