For the second straight year, we match our previous year's win total in the month of August. It's going to be REALLY tough to do it 3 years in a row. If we go .500 the rest of the way (15-15

Yeah, but the OTHER 50 ARE LOVELY AND SWEET!

Now we know why Santander’s back is sore.  He’s got the whole team up there.

That’s great! Would you be able to be here if we make the playoffs?

Probably not.  I was thinking I'd head to Arlington if we faced Texas but that's looking less likely; I won't even think of trying Safeco Field.

What's all this talk in the Santander thread about trading Tony in the offseason?  Crazy talk if you ask me.

Either trade him at his highest value or the following year when he is a free agent.  They are not going to sign him.

This team as that "it" factor. You just know in the later innings if the game is tied the Orioles are taking the lead and if the opposing team has a one run lead it's not going to last for long.

I dunno, a few people said earlier in the thread this team isn't as good as their record, smoke and mirrors, man. Smoke and mirrors.

Got my flights lined up for the final weekend of the season, to use up the last of my Birdland Member tix, the ones weams and I had since 2008.  Great seats for my needs, tho @SteveA didn't seem too impressed by them 😆

I'm so excited about being there, especially to help overwhelm the damn Red Sox fans who always invade OPACY. 

I may still have to cancel, but hoping it works out and can't wait to be there!

Hey I liked those seats!

I think it comes from articles in the paper where our owner brags on how the Orioles cant keep their good young players.  Tony will start to cost money and I really dont see Angelos paying the freight.  Especially when they have TWO players in AAA that will likely be at least league average next year.   

Only way this changes is if the Orioles win the World Series and Tony is the MVP of it.   Then he might pay up because he seems to be touchy with people calling him cheap.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      This is it right here. The ideal scenario.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Definitely don't want Soto back.  I'm on the fence w/ Dominguez. I guess he's a fine hedge in the event that Felix isn't effective from the jump.  I don't want Rogers on this roster. As said before, I want an open competition for the 5th spot between Suarez, Povich, McDermott, Rogers. If Suarez doesn't make the rotation, he goes into the bullpen. Povich/McDermott/Rogers all have options. If I had it my way, here's what the 13 pitcher breakdown would be: SP1: Free Agent Signing (Snell, Burnes, Fried, etc.) SP2: Eflin SP3: Grayson SP4: Kremer SP5: Free Agent Signing and/or competition w/ Suarez, McDermott, Rogers, Povich Closer: Felix High Leverage: Coulombe High Leverage: Free Agent Signing Middle Reliever: Free Agent Signing *or* Dominguez Middle Reliever: Cano Middle Reliever: Webb Middle Reliever: Akin Middle/Long Reliever: Suarez I'd like to see this club sign a SP1, SP5, a high leverage arm and a reliable middle reliever type..

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Too Tall · Posted

      Have you not noticed, Frobby is not among us and I don't blame him one bit. Has been absent since last Wednesday evening.  By the way, I long lost track of any point and particularly relevance this discussion has to Burnes and 400 million.  Seems we are revisiting a lot of he should have - they could of - why can't we now. Great tangent though! Again, for the record, I believe no one is going to give Burnes anything close to 400 million. So my answer to the OP is again - No One!!!!

      This posts wreaks of someone who has no idea what the cost of relievers are nowadays. Which is, of course, no surprise that you aren’t informed. Now that said, I don’t have an issue if you take someone out..I asked that very question. Who do you take out or what do you not acquire in favor of keeping Suarez?

      You always have room for another high leverage guy.  And Akin has an option left according to FG.

      Yea.  I feel the same way.  I really do not care strongly one way or another.  Sure, I think it's kind of ugly.  I also think HR's came pretty cheap before.  I like the exciting defensive plays it fosters and of course the random triple & odd carom make for some fun and unique moments.  But I don't think it helps or hurts the team in any substantial way short of helping out the pitching a little.   I sure don't think the players are changing their approaches.  If they keep it as is, that's fine with me.  If they modify it some way, that's fine with me as well.  It does seem like there is some opportunity for some unique seats down there by modifying it slightly.  When I first saw it, it almost appeared like a construction Phase 1.  That might be reasoning for pushing it back so far, allows them some flexibility in the future.   I also don't buy that a Free Agent RH hitter is going to care at all about the wall.   They are getting paid regardless.  I'd think that 1-maximizing payday 2-playing for a winner 3-finding a location that suits your family would be your priorities and your long-term stat line would be very close to the bottom of your list of concerns.

      His "ability to play RF" carries about $0 value
