before the game vs Tampa that night. That is an Apple TV+ game, so the game won't be on MASN.   I hope at least MASN can carry the pregame ceremony.

Apple TV is the devil. If they are trying to expose their brand to baseball fans this is not the right way. Android 4 life!

I’d love to see Adam and Nick Markakis be induced into the O’s HOF at the same time.  They were the yin and yang of those 2009-14 teams.

Yea and I would bet whatever the issue was had zero to do with Jones.

I don't think Jones is a saint, and could see him being a proud man, but in dealings with the Angeloses, the benefit of the doubt always goes to the non-Angelos.

It's fascinating that this positive development can happen in the middle of a truly trying John Angelos year where almost nothing is going right EXCEPT the product on the field. I will choose to not ask any questions and simply be thrilled that Jones is being let back into the fold. He's enormously important for this organization and city, and was instrumental in those winning teams. He's a no doubter for the Oriole HOF.

Oh, I’m sure Jones is a stubborn guy but yea, when that family is involved, always assume they are at fault.

I don't think a window opens until Peter passes, but the pinnacle detente for Elias to broker is Mussina.

The Sigbot's mastery of baseball I think has some kinship with Mussina's approach to the game.     And I believe I have a good guess who a Thomas Jefferson high school pitcher going to pitch at Yale in a certain era's favorite Oriole would have been.

He was able to swing getting him back for the OPACY 30th luncheon.

Sounds like a fun night to be in the yard to bypass any broadcaster concerns.

There is no issues with Mike Mussina and the Orioles from Mike’s point of view.  Mike was inducted in the Orioles Hall of Fame and came down and was honored.  Mike’s brother and I sat at a game less than a month ago with Mark’s son wearing an Orioles #35 Mussina jersey rooting for the Orioles.

Maybe its penance for the NY Times interview.     I could imagine Cal Perry and Elias (and Rob Manfred?) cornering him in the aftermath.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      I would be pretty happy with that outcome and I think it's realistic. I'm not sure what the Rangers would want for Scherzer. Maybe Beavers or Bradfield? I believe he would need to waive his no-trade. That could be the biggest issue. We will have an opportunity to scout him first hand tomorrow.

      With a Major League that is this good combined with a farm system that is this loaded, I am not very comfortable with the idea of relying on a player to have be “gutsy” in order to be successful. I would rather just acquire a player who has the talent to be successful. To me, it is important to make additions with a high floor in order to improve our chances.  We tried the high risk/high reward/low cost acquisitions last year and they flopped and proved to be a net ZERO.

      Elias brought him in because he was basically free- a waiver claim making the league minimum. He's making over $2 million now and will only get more expensive from here. No rebuilding team is going to squander part of the value of their trade chips to acquire him instead of a prospect with a higher ceiling and more control.

      This schedule is brutal until after the All Star Break. The O's have 2 July off days before the All Star break, but they bookend a West Coast Trip It eases up after the All Star Break up until the Trade Deadline.  I think Elias is probably trying to play .500 baseball up until the all star break. His guys will finally rest, they will hopefully be playing winning baseball up until July 31, and he can take his time making the right pitching moves at the best costs.  He might have to trade for a back end starter for some depth to make sure they make it through July though. I think the big splash is coming, but I don't think it will be until the deadline bc he's gonna bargain

      Poll - Bigger Need… Game Three level SP or Elite Closer?

      By The Goob · Posted

      To get to the playoffs?  Any model you look at gives the Orioles greater than a 95% probability to make the playoffs.  I think all the talk of a starter is the focus on the ups and downs of the team over the last several weeks.  This team has a +110 run differential.  Does anyone think the Phillies or Dodgers are not going to make the playoffs? The Orioles are in the exact same situation as them as far as making the playoffs.  Only difference is they don't have a team like the Yankees in their division.  The more balanced schedule though means that fact does not impact our ability to be a playoff team. This team should be focused on what it needs to be successful in the playoffs.  To me that clearly is arms in the bullpen that can dominate a game after 5-6 innings from your starter.  Who starts Game 3 of a playoff series is not a significant determination of playoff success.  That guy may only get 4 starts in an entire postseason run even if every series went the distance.

      We will see, either way I think Urias will be in another uniform before long.  I have enjoyed having him in an O's uniform and he made an impact in turning this team around but it is time for the uber talented youth to take over.
