After all the frustration and disappointment over the years this really does feel like liftoff. Great Stadium, Great GM and FO, Tons of talent at all Levels. And new deep pocketed Owners. No wonder all the other Fans in the AL East are freaking out. I am going to enjoy this ride.

Why does his baseball ref page say he's not a free agent until 2025 but I see elsewhere that's he's a free agent now? And isn't he missing most of the season? 

Non-tendered for 2024 due to injury.

Another MLB player who did not complete 6 years of service with his original Club despite being a 2-time All-Star.

Isn't it nifty how that 5.161 service time occurred across 7 MLB seasons?

"It seems weird to call a trade a win-win when the teams are both currently competitive. Doesn’t one have to be a loser? But I think this was a perfect reallocation of resources. The Orioles were wasting potential by having so many prospects blocked by their already impressive major league team. The Brewers needed prospect quantity and quality. The Orioles added more wins in 2024 with this deal than the Brewers lost because Hall will pitch more (and more important) innings in Milwaukee than he would have in Baltimore.

That’s about as both-sides-happy as it gets in baseball."

Sorry but they made the shift illegal.  You have to move someone to the left side of the infield.

Current Orioles own 4 of the top 8 pitcher-seasons by Stuff+'s reckoning across the last 6 years.

https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=36&month=0&ind=1&startdate=&enddate=&season1=2018&season=2023&sortcol=13&sortdir=default&pagenum=1

NFBC players as a group regard the Orioles as holding momentarily the 2024 AL's 2nd, 10th and 13th best SP.

Gerrit-Burnes-Gausman-Castillo-Kirby

Pablo-Skubal-Framber-Gilbert-Grayson

Eflin-Ryan-Bradish-Cease-Ragans

That's essentially three #1 starters in a 15-team league if you are a stickler every team must have one.

Keygans talked about a reunion with an old friend in this thread, maybe that's who they were talking about.

Tanner Scott?   He would be another one year rental but the 2023 Scott was probably a best case scenario for D.L. Hall this year.

    • How about..." we wont win another game in the regular season"?
    • i still like that winning your division matters, at least a little bit.  So I think there's a happy medium between how unbalanced it was, and what you are suggesting.  13 games vs each division team feels right to me, but there are going to be years where that skews the WC thing a bit, because there's always one really bad team, it seems, somewhere (not always as bad as the ChiSox, of course).  I'm not sure how else to further balance it.  Maybe cut back on the NL stuff a bit and play more games against your non-divisional conference rivals so at least there's more head to head to base the WC on.
    • Apparently this post of mine from one year ago killed this thread, as it was the last before today's bump.  In re-reading that, I am reminded (by a past version of myself, LOL) of why I love this sport.  It was actually a bit invigorating reading that back to myself.  LETS GO BIRDS!
    • I've found the older I get, the less interest I have in watching my teams lose. It's a waste of time so I find something else to do. Watching my team lose is not enjoyable so I'd rather do something I'd enjoy. It's not like I'm that old either, just 47. I get a lot more enjoyment out of watching good games with other teams, to be honest. Watching the Bills in the first half last night was fun. The Redskins/Bengals game was fun to watch. Man City and Arsenal on Sunday was great. The Chiefs/Falcons game was a good game. There were a few decent college football games this last weekend as well. I'll watch the game to start tonight and if the O's are down 3-0 after the 1st inning, I'll find something else to do, probably watch some of the other MLB games that have playoff implications.
    • It will be interesting to see if there is any carry over from the HBP's culminating in Heston's beaning.  Hate to say it but that's around when the .500 play started, now much worse.  I did like the way HK stared down Holmes after being hit-I think this series will mean a little more to him.
    • It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.
