"Still can be" needs a backup plan.  Too bad the O's don't have a top farm system or they could make a trade.

This fanbase seems to like to hoard prospects and not cash them in for pitching elsewhere.  At some point maybe it needs to be accepted that, as much as Elias has done an incredible job, this organization hasn't produced a stud starter in 30 years.

No, THEY have found out WE are no joke. They have gone 24-12 since July 29...and they have lost 2.5 games in the standings to us.

Is it the fanbase or is it Elias and the fanbase is just following?

When you put all your hope into the future, it becomes hard to give it up to win in the present.  Normal for fans to dream they will all work out.

To get something, you have to give up something. Fans here seem to believe that Elias is supposed to fleece other GMs and get great pitching without giving up any of the quality prospects in the farm.

Well gentlemen and lady, looks like this one is a tough loss. Gotta come back strong against Cardinals tomorrow. Echo what someone said earlier… glad to get out of this ballpark.

Hopefully the Orioles will be able to shake off the NL monkey off their backs and have a great series. They are going to need it, because the team from Tampa is hot. Even though they now have to come out of the friendly confines of Tropicana Field, when they don't do as well.

Tell me about it. New England likes to boast about their poets and writers and their sports writers like to evoke them every chance they get. That's why I call where the Red Sox play "Segue Park".

I think that if Elias was to change course a large portion of the fanbase would switch right with him without missing a beat.

I think you're right. I think about all those trades in the 70s that sent prospects or starters. For the most part, things worked out in the standings for them in that decade, ie. five first place AL East finishes, 3 AL pennants, one World Series win.

This rain delay game is a little weird. 

Worley started for us so I know immediately that it's a 2016 game (we had him only the one season). 

Also Julio Borbon played in this game.  He played for us for maybe a week, then we DFA'd him.  He never played in the majors again after that, so this is one of his last games (if not his last game, I'm not certain) so that's kind of creepy.

True fact: few of those New Englanders have actually read the works of those great poets and writers.

Just like most in Baltimorians only exposure to Poe is reading The Raven in 7th grade.

      the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.

      I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.

      It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.

      Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Philip · Posted

      No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 24fps · Posted

      The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
