Well all I can tell you from being born here, growing up and coming back to the area as an adult and choosing to raise my family here, is that you may be uninformed.

The fact that you speak about the mayor really shows me how out of touch with this metropolitan. Whoever the mayor of Baltimore is has literally less than zero impact on my live, like it would the Verlanders.

The poor reputation fed by infotainment doesn’t seem to influence the other sports team in town and their ability to attract desirable players/FAs. And I know this personally because there’s more than a few who live in my community.

But I think I have taken this conversation as far as I can. And apologize to all for taking it off track… Back to the trade speculations.

I'm sorry but that's just laughable.  

Most people don't want to live in communities that are famous for political corruption.

Yes, the people elected to govern the city (and the state for that matter) absolutely deeply affect your life.

Again, I'm very glad for you that you get to live in a place that is reserved for the 1%.  That's good for you.  You fail to understand that the other 99% probably have a different experience than you do.

We can leave it there.

You're kind of painting a caricature of Baltimore here though.  Baltimore has a lot of old money despite its bad rep in the inner city.  Why do you think a triple crown leg is here?  And its healthcare industry is pretty much second to none.  It's not like a Houston or an LA, where the city proper is a large chunk of the metro area.  Baltimore is like 80 square miles in a metro area thats over 2500 square miles big.  If Verlander comes to Baltimore he's almost certainly either getting a place in one of the nice parts of town like Roland Park or very close to the stadium, or he's gonna chill with Ray Lewis out in Hunt Valley.

 

Besides, you can point out bad parts of every city.  Dodger Stadium has 10 acre homeless encampment like a mile away that only recently got cleared out, and the homeless population in LA is equal to 20% of Baltimore's entire population.

Almost every urban area in the country is rapidly destroying itself.  You'll get no arguments from me on that.

Baltimore is just better at it.

All facts.

When you know you know. When you don’t, you don’t.

I was born and grew up in some of the worst places and conditions in Baltimore. So whatever you think you know about, read, or heard about; trust me I lived it and went through it firsthand.

Does the Camden Yards LF wall have any incentive for Verlander or others who would have to waive a no-trade clause to Baltimore? I'm sure not as much incentive as Kate, but it could help him sleep better at night knowing a bushel of HRs in most other parks would be outs at OPACY. 

Of course, in keeping with the thread, there are likely *other* reasons he sleeps well at night.

So what I've gleaned from the last five pages of this thread is that Verlander will be living in Roland Park in 24 hours. 

Can't you just see Kate Upton:

"Screw Manhattan

Won't you give them Dundalk nights."

I’m talking during the season.  Postseason these guys likely mean less although in a short series, guys can get hot and make a huge difference.

Mostly imo that's what these trades are about.  Better positioning yourself in the post-season.  At least for a team like the O's, who aren't really on the bubble.

I don’t know why you’re constantly bringing this up, but it’s obnoxious. Nobody is talking politics but here you go trying to ram it into every discussion. Maybe find somewhere else to get that off your chest and discuss baseball here.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      This times 1000.   A five game losing streak where we’ve lost exactly 1.5 games in the standings, by the way. You would think we were suddenly ten games behind the Yankees (who’s asses we just finished kicking five days ago) with the way people act.    Good time for an OH vacation for me because the flop sweat around here is flooding the place.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I don't know if anyone is questioning if the Orioles will still qualify for the postseason after this recent rough stretch. However, the concern that I am seeing/reading/hearing is that once October begins, we don't have the kind of pitching talent necessary to go deep into the Fall by winning multiple rounds against teams who have better pitching talent.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      I believe this is truly the "all in " year...not next year or the year after. After this year, it's conceivable we could lose Burnes, and Santander, and that would mean two of the best and(among) the most important players on the team. No Burnes(he'll command at least 30 million a year and likely more) would maybe give us ONE solid pitcher in Grod, and our outfield will be in flux. No, I think THIS is the year the Orioles have to win, and that means some dramatic, possibly risky trades at the break yield some significant upgrades to our beleaguered pitching both with starters and the pen. If we don't get it this year, we may never have a potential post season team in the next couple of years..not at this rate.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Luke Dickerson, SS, Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. There are shades of Jackson Merrill and Sammy Stafura with Dickerson as a northeast/mid-atlantic prep shortstop who has received a lot of late helium this spring. He’s an offense-oriented righthanded hitter with a background as a talented hockey player. He might fit better at second base or center field, but teams like his hit/power combination enough to take him inside the first two rounds. He had a solid showing at the draft combine last week, as well.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By terpoh · Posted

      As the bluejays continue to fade, I cant help but think that they would be a trade fit if they decide to sell.  Specifically Gausman and Berrios. Gausman is under contract for 2 seasons after this one, and Berrios has 4 years with an opt out after 2 years. So you would essentially have both of those guys for 2.5 years which would be a big boost for 2024, and the coming years with Burnes likely gone and Bradish out for 2025. They are both on hefty contracts (for Orioles standards) but with our payroll and new ownership group you would think that wouldnt be a huge problem. Not sure what the asking price would be for one of, or both, of those guys but worth looking into. I know its hard to look at trading within the division, especially what would potentially be a "blockbuster" type of  deal but I just dont see a ton of options on the trade market right now outside of the White Sox, A's and Rockies and none of those teams can match what the bluejays have to offer.

      By Safelykept · Posted

      He was all of that yes, but nothing close to Gunner so far or Cal's best year, and you also forgot about Eddie. not to mention Palmer in the 70,s
