What is the level of concern that they will actually sign this core group to long term deals? I fear we will have to win a WS in the next 4-5 years while these guys are on their pre-arb contracts. Will certainly enjoy the ride now but I wish this org was more like the Braves and would lock up Adley, Gunnar, Westburg, and Cowser to long term deals.

What level of concern?  None...This ownership group might lock up one or two guys, but l can't imagine locking all of them up like the braves.  And I think the age and position make Adley the least likely.

That said, there are other ways to be successful long term and Elias has said he plans to be competitive continuously and I could see that.  With or without extensions or huge FA contracts.  Or, maybe Elias can sell Angelos on it...who knows?

But I join you in wanting a WS title and this group is gonna get a chance.

With the promotion of Cowser today and his performance at Yankee Stadium, along with Jordan Westburg...you can see something special really unfolding before your eyes.  The talent that's been collecte

A bit less than a year later, how about these same four guys homering today off of one of the best pitchers in the big leagues? Who'd never, in an excellent 10 year career, allowed 4 HRs. In a series

And then you see a 4-hit performance by Kjerstad at AAA and a 5-hit performance by Holliday at A+. The future is amazingly bright! 

Very bright.  And then there's Coby Mayo since June 1 in AA:  .359/.479/.752/.1.231.  I know he has a thread of his own going at the moment, but a 1.231 OPS sustained over 5+ weeks is every bit as exciting IMO.

But he was hitless yesterday!  Bust! 😉

Oh, I think Adley is great and refuse to believe otherwise. But we have such a strong program now we aren't relying on one guy to save us. 

My take on Adley is that he is very good in ALL areas of the game, and  it is like having another very baseball knowledgable  Coach on the field,  with him playing the very important position of Catcher.

It's not a coincidence the Orioles started winning more games than they lose as soon as Adley joined the team and once he got settled in.

I got my wife a Gunner shirt for her 83 birthday. She's not really a baseball fan, but she has really taken to these young players the Orioles have drafted over the last several years. She likes the way they carry themselves and remarks about how they really seem to approach the game in a serious/professional way - yet seem to be having fun with each other at the same time. For the first time in like forever, she wants to watch games.

I sure don't know what the future holds, but damn it's a good time to be an Oriole Fan. I'm sure we will continue to find things to complain about but last night made The Beer Seem Real Cold!!!

I sure hope the future holds many more years beyond 83 for you both to watch these O’s!

Cheers and congratulations!

You can see it.  Tonight, Grayson stepped up and delivered a gem.  First time he's gone 8 innings...and it was 8 innings of dominance.  If that's a coming out party of sorts, he couldn't have picked a better game.  I do believe he will get CYA votes next year.

Gunnar filling up the box score, 3/5, 2 runs, 3 RBI, and a homer.

Adley 1/3, RBI.

Three guys that are the core of this team moving forward had a great performance tonight.  Exciting times.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Per Roch, Selby is the call up today, with Davidson presumably DFA.   Guessing today’s pitching looks like:  - Suarez (2-3 IP)  - Webb (1 IP)  - Soto (1 IP)  - Dominguez (1 IP)  - Coulombe (1 IP)  - Selby (2 IP) Bowman fills in gaps as needed.

      Holliday and Henderson is going to be an elite top 2 in the lineup.

      He’s also replaced the leg kick with a toe tap. At least with two strikes I noticed.

      Burnes named Game 1 ALWC starter

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Last year, of 8 WC teams: - 5 went with 12 pitchers - 2 went with 11 pitchers - 1 went with 13 pitchers I expect the Orioles to go with 12 pitchers. Given how Detroit mixes and matches pitching, we need to have enough platoon options.   I do think there is value in having more pitchers, even if it’s just an extra guy for mop up duty that saves pen in blowout game 2 so we aren’t running on fumes in game 3. However, I think 14 position players and 12 pitchers is the right balance for the wild card series.

      I don't think this is true.  He's struck out 3 times a few times and gone 0-4 several times and 10 posts haven't been made. I hope he has a nice view from the bench during the playoff series and gets an at bat here or there if we're up big or getting blown out.  I'd like to see him put in a lot of work this offseason and start 2025 on fire.

      Trevor Rogers 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I’m not sure why people continue to ignore the ages of Norby and Stowers and how that effected their value. The Marlins received a 21 and 23 year old for Puk. Of course the Marlins still ended up with our 2 “old guys” but that was a last minute trade. They may not have known they would deal Rogers at the time and Puk was dealt earlier and may have carried more value. That said, it’s very possible Elias valued the long term starter over the short term reliever..and I agree that’s a mistake.

      Trevor Rogers 2024

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      Ok so not to beat a dead horse, but AJ Puk got me thinking. I know hindsight is 20/20 and I’ve got a Gator bias, but to my eyes, what the Dbacks gave up for AJ Puk is comparable to what we gave up for Soto or Rogers. If you’re Elias, why not target someone like this on the Marlins if you’re already scouting Rogers? It just highlights for me Elias’ failure to address the bullpen with ML acquistions (deadline or FA). It is becoming a real ding to putting us over the top thus far and is definitely the biggest concern we have going into this postseason. I came away satisfied enough at the deadline but can’t help but wonder if we perhaps could have combo’d getting Rogers and Puk with an additional fringe top 10 throw in? I’m still hoping that Rogers gains a few ticks back on his heater (a la Tillman in 2012) and that our bullpen will perform OK in these playoffs. But as much as I love Elias, I’m coming around to the fact that thus far, I think he’s made some head scratching decisions/non-decisions when it comes to the bullpen.
