For what is worth he indicates the Orioles were going to sign a 30 year lease extension.  I hope it is true but I would wish he would be quiet until it is actually a done deal.  As we all know he has a habit of saying things that yet to come true.  Maybe we will hear something soon.

An Angelos only show their faces when the team is celebrating or enjoying a winning season. Never around to take responsibility during bad times, but always willing to be around to take "responsibility" for the good times.

I saw the same thing in 2014 when Peter Angelos came into the dugout during those celebrations. I was in those lockerooms and saw him for the first time in like ten years walking around shaking players hands. The players were gracious but I think half of them were like, "Who's this old guy?" 

I was actually told by several players that was the first time they had ever seen him.

It's the Angelos way.

He was obviously drunk when he made that statement.

Nothing he says matters. He’s never faced any real consequences for anything in his life so he can just say things. The child was excited and used his uncanny business instincts to show his commitment to the city so we’ll buy more playoff tickets and more merch.

That was super weird. I don't remember ownership being there for previous celebrations. My only hope is he realizes that winning is actually ego-gratifying and might be willing to open up the checkbook a little more.

      O's Getting Hosed, All Star Reserves

      By AlbNYfan · Posted

      I think there is a better term than "angry" to describe some of the O's. Anger seldom results in anything positive. Now, playing with attitude is another thing. GH is certainly the "King" of attitude on this team, no one is going to beat him. I believe there are several position players that show attitude in different ways. Pitchers?? SP throw 90 or so pitches. They can't afford to display emotions or they would be worn out much earlier. They also can't afford to have the "deer in the headlights" look. Of the O's starters, I believe CP is in that world at present. It's mainly an experience and growth thing.  GR, IMO, has approved significantly in that department over the last year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By chipster22 · Posted

      On close examination of Kjerstad today (July 7), I hope he is not part of any trade package. This kid is a bull, with power potential that is off the charts.  He runs surprisingly well and that throw to the plate from left was very impressive, if a bit high. I can see him planted in left field for a long time, perhaps in a platoon with Hays the rest of the year, but eventually full time if he proves able to hit southpaws.

      I like this idea better, but I am curious to what it would take to secure Mason Miller.

      I totally get it.  It’s a huge risk vs. reward situation, but getting someone like him (if he’s still strong) or Skubal could make a major difference come October for you guys over the next three seasons.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      IMHO it's not about whether Crochet is an "opener" or a reliever, it's the innings.  He's never thrown more than 65 innings (at college in 2019) in his entire college or pro career and stands at 105.1 today.  Let that sink in.  On top of that, there is Crochet's TJ surgery, where he missed all of 2022 and had multiple stints on the IL in 2023 as he was recovering, tossing a total of 25 IP. Does any of this mean he cannot throw double (130 IP) or triple (195 IP) his prior max?  No one can say for certain, but I'd think any reasonable person would agree that, at the very least, it's a far riskier proposition for someone like Crochet than a pitcher who has been a starter and has thrown 150+ IP before.  So, to recap: The most innings he's ever thrown was 65 IP in college (2019) After throwing 54 innings of relief for the White Sox in 2021, he missed all of 2022 with Tommy John surgery He followed up in 2023 by throwing a total of 25 innings of relief, as he dealt with a couple of IL stints recovering from TJ His first ever pro start came this season and he's been dynamite through 105.1 IP Elias and Sig are well aware of the risks and it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

      Tell me the cost and I would probably sign up. What about you Qauntrill, Scherzer and Yates and you got to keep all top 4 prospects?
