The bottom line is this. Management is placing $ over wins as far as importance this year

You might have convinced me if you had some relevant experience as an elite soccer, ice hockey, volleyball, rugby and 43-man squamish player, but without that .  .  .

He appeared in 28 Test matches for the West Indies cricket team in the 1970s, though, so you have to give him some credit.

Don’t a lot of those sports overlap seasons? You played multiple elite level HS and college level sports at the same time?  
 

This guy may be the greatest athlete of all time.

And then, after all of that was done, he became Big Ern McCracken!

I say this as a elite HS and college athlete in tennis, hockey, football, basketball and baseball and a current PBA bowler who has played on many TEAMS.

Prove it Champ.

Take it easy on him, guys.  He's a direct descendent of Jim Thorpe on his father's side, and Babe Didrickson Zaharias on his mother's side.  We need to treat royalty with more respect.

He forgot to mention that he invented pickleball as well.

Hes not wrong with the assessment that theirs 5 or 6 players at Norfolk right now that are better than 5 or 6 guys on the big league team.

but l’m confused is he saying he plays the PBA bowling video game or he’s on the PBA tour? and whats that have to do with the Orioles roster?

I’m confused, what profit is there to gain by keeping the prospects in the minors?

 I’m not saying those guys shouldn’t (in a perfect world) be in the majors. Hays, Urias and Mateo probably should have been traded but they weren’t. At this point, it’s hard to just bench 5 guys from a team that won the division and had the most wins in the league. 

I think the argument is that they are prolonging service time in order to save money on free agents or something like that.

    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
    • wow,did gunnar and adley have to do this last season? 
    • I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in. 
    • WE GOT US ONE - JD5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
