Reminder that Chicago wanted Jackson Holliday for Dylan Cease.

Because if he can get through the 4th and 5th scoreless that saves the bullpen a little bit. I get that overall this has been a disaster of a start for him but it's not hard to figure out why he'

I came here just for this.

But to be fair, if Cease was on the Orioles with their coaching and Walltimore there's a decent chance his ERA would be under 5.00. That's a regular TOR ace, right there. Also, he wouldn't have to face the Orioles.

Frazier giveth and Frazier taketh away.

Too hard to tell if that throw would have been close at home but at least Frazier made them cut it off and let Cedric score standing.  

Yeah, Robert has a great arm, Frazier took that out of the equation and the run scored. It would have been nice to still be in the inning, but worse things have happened.

He is extremely overrated.

At the beginning of the season, I would have certainly disagreed (as some know I was advocated for the O's to try to acquire him). But I'm going to have to take the L and say I was completely wrong on that one! By the time June came and went, I did a 180 and changed my mind. Cease has had a really bad year, terrible when compared to last season,

There is no way the CHI SOX could get anything close to a top 20 prospect for him now, let alone #1.

Cease is less scary every time I see him.

I wonder whether he could be gotten more cheaply in the winter?  Verlander wasn't lighting the world on fire when the Astros traded for him, but they knew what the problem was.  Perhaps the Orioles know with Cease.

      Walltimore

      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.

      Any updates on the renovations to OPACY?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Yeah but if you think most of this money is going to upgrade things that are wrong or need improving, such as the ones @accinfo lists, I think you'll be disappointed.   They will be for new features, each one designed to create revenue via premium seating or premium "experience" areas or attractions that bring non baseball fans to the park to spend or sports betting related things. I'm not saying they won't fix some basic things that need it like upgrading the sound system or improving the point of sale technology.   I'm sure they will.   But the focus is going to be on the new attractions which are all designed with revenue enhancement in mind.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      I’m not a lawyer … perhaps @Frobbymight know. Loss of income, future revenues? Damage to their franchise….Even with MASN the Orioles lost a ton on annual tv revenues

      2024 Week 5: Ravens @ Bengals

      By Aglets · Posted

      Congrats to the offense on playing a heck of a game. Lamar was incredible to watch, especially the play when the snap ended up on the ground and he had to run away towards the sideline and still found Likely for the score. It's very frustrating to me that the offense HAD to play so well because of the poor coaching and abysmal defensive play.  It's odd to me that Harbaugh still messes up timeout usage after being a coach in the league for over 15 years.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      I have a 3 hour round trip to get to games. I can't speak about other directions, but the stadium is very easy to get to from the south...some more traffic with the earlier start times, but overall - games are VERY easy to get to, imo. You don't have the hike through the city to get to games. I'm a rural guy, and it's really not a big deal. We took the light rail from Cromwell for Game 1 (I usually park in BC or FGH) and it was a breeze. We walked out right after the game, and we immediately caught a direct bus that took us back to Cromwell directly. We did the same thing last year. I gotta be honest - I think the "they've been horrible for half the season" reasoning is pretty lame. Even when they were down (and dealing with significant injuries) after the AS break, they were still essentially a lock to make the playoffs. Then they get healthy-ish with some key guys back riiiiight before the playoffs and look great for a couple of series - but I guess it was too late for everyone?  Come on.  Just say you didn't feel like it. But don't blame August play for not showing up in October.
