He goes on vacation/hiatus during the most Orioles newsworthy week in the last 15 years, at least.

Man, Rich really picked the worst couple days to do a little protest.

In the future when O's fans talk about the Streak, fans will have to clarify if it's Cal's or Roch's.

He can't splash cold water on anything this week

He sure does, and he just posted this:

Yeah, he told me it was driving him nuts. But he just needed some time away.

The longer you've been retired, you've progressively become more snarky.

I like it.

So Roch is back and posted on the Burns trade. Two points.  
 

1. Each successive time he uses his “scout from another organization” it gets funnier and funnier.   
 

2. The scouts take and Roch not providing any specifics of “why” is so lazy.   Burnes is really good.  He’s not good just because he won a Cy Young in 2021.  It’s a steal because we got him for two players and a draft pick.  So Henderson, Rodriguez, and the pick would have been a steal too?

Do better.

 

However it plays out, however long Burnes is in an Orioles uniform, the early reviews on the deal are quite favorable for the Orioles.

A scout from another organization texted this morning that it was “highway robbery.”

“Two years removed from Cy Young for two players and draft pick!!!!”

That’s four exclamation points, if you’re scoring at home.

He actually posted that two days ago.  Interrupted his well-earned but poorly-timed break.  

I’m in the “good deal for both sides” camp.

Interestingly, he hasn't posted anything except that one on the Burnes trade. Nothing for four days since.

Is that when his suspension ends?

He said he put in for a week of vacation starting last Friday. That's all we know publicly.
