Well that should take me up until I'm dead.  Glad to put this to rest.

Also, it’s possible John doesn’t understand the legalities involved since he is unable to pass the bar exam after multiple attempts.

It’s very weird being both a rabid Orioles fan and a Maryland taxpayer.   Anything that keeps the Orioles in Baltimore long term and is financially good for the team is something that benefits me as a

Can’t wait to see the plans! Also can’t wait to hear poster’s thoughts on desired modifications. I do feel an Atlanta-esque hotel/restaurant/shop area between and around the stadiums would be a great idea for the city, but we’ll see what they decide.

Haven’t we covered this already?

Will a couple years ago ,one of the plans was to get rid of some of the lower deck seats under the overhang and you could see the game from the concourse. Also to get rid of the upper deck left field corner. Where talking about 36,000 seat stadium or so. But I am sure plans have changed.

MSA will meet on Tuesday to discuss the lease and most likely give their approval. Then has to go to  the state budget committee for final approval. 

From the Sun.Not sure how people from the MSA don't have details.

The Maryland Stadium Authority board had not received details of the agreement as of Thursday night, according to two people familiar with the board’s operations who requested anonymity because the deal is pending.

The board’s next regularly scheduled meeting is Tuesday, though it’s not certain the lease would be on the agenda.

So it isn't signed.

Can't imagine he'd back out now but still typical behavior.

The agreement requires the approval of the Maryland Stadium Authority board as well as the Board of Public Works. The General Assembly would need to approve any new expenditures.

      Clearly he has a roster spot for a playoff series with the Yankees….

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      My stance would be pretty simple. Im not trading any of the top 3 prospects and im not trading any of the young talent that is controlled long term that is currently on the ML roster. That means besides the very obvious guys that players like Cowser and Kjerstad are also off the board. Now, if a player like Skubal becomes available, that could cause me to change my mind but as I look around at the reported available players, I don’t see anyone worth a top 20 prospect or young contributing ML talent. Guys like Norby and Stowers fall into that latter category but they aren’t here right now and they are just redundant on our roster. So I’m telling teams if you want to deal with us, guys like Norby, Stowers and Beavers are who will lead deals and that several vets, led by Mountcastle, are also on the board in any potential contender/contender(fringe contender) type deal. I think whether it’s Fedde or relievers like Estevez or Nardi or Garcia or even Scott, I think we have enough to get deals done without trading any of the guys we would rather not lose. This is all to say that I just don’t see that proven elite high end talent available this deadline to justify trading any of those top guys.

      He’s an interesting test case. Prior to 2023, wasn’t good. In 2023, he threw around 200 innings iirc in the KBO and learned the sweeper. Now he is pitching much better. His statcast stats are pretty good although he’s not missing bats or getting Ks and he has a tendency to give up some hard contact.

      I don’t think he can be counted on for that. If you can get him cheap fine but his career WAR is 3.5 and he has 3.7 this year. Plus he’s 33 innings short of his career high …did 120-130 range twice. How could that be your acquisition that can be counted on when he could quite possibly run out of gas? Or get to a team where performance matters and feel the pressure versus pitching for the White Sox…A horrid team that everyone knew was going to suck.

      Yea but how are you defining that?  Is Fedde a #3 or better, for example?

      Bring up Mayo already!!

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      With all due respect … I think you are counting on Mayo to come up and immediately perform. I don’t think it’s realistic… possible yes. But, most guys have an adjustment. If it’s one thing we’ve seen from Hyde is the reluctance to give regular time to the rookies. Didn’t see it with Stowers, Norby, etc. They did  give it to Holliday but I think there was pressure being put on him to do so.  You think he would replace Urias who doesn’t play everyday with Mayo and sit the other guys to play him every day which is what a player needs during that adjustment period?

      Spencer Watkins coming back?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Roch retweeted this. Lots of fans are speculating that it means Watkins is coming back to the Os. It makes some sense as we need fresh arms.  His numbers aren’t great this year but not sure that is going to matter.
