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

Stop with the snarky comments. There are around 4 players that could be replaced by far more talented players in AAA.  Everyone knows this. Elias slow playing is hurting the chances for a Trophy. Don't know how anyone could dispute that.

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.

Agreed. The part about “profit” and money don’t make a lot of sense, but there is a lot of truth that Elias not clearing a path for the young talent in the off season is the reason there is a backlog in AAA.

There is some truth to this but when he’s talking about money, that’s wrong unless it’s about super 2 stuff.

If they strictly were valuing money, they would have traded the expensive guys and brought up the cheap guys.

I realize the opening post. I am talking about winning a World Series.

Add Holliday, Mayo, and Stowers to the lineup. Doubt we would have these games scoring 1 run and struggling.

To me it has nothing to do with payroll. Just win.

This place can be brutal.

You win games by scoring the most runs. Simple concept.

Btw, I  was elite at  

1. electric football

2. air hockey

3. hockey where you control the players with the rods and handles.

4. Rockem Sockem fighters

5. Battling Tops

6.  Arcade baseball

7. Skee ball

That’s 7 and all mastered before the age of 10.   I know quite a bit about elite competition at the highest level.   My first question is “Who are these old guys he’s talking about”?

Offense has scored 36 runs in 6 games.   On pace for 972 runs in the season, which would be the most prolific offense in Oriole history.

Are you talking about the electric players the wiggled around the board?

Two blowouts and the rest were less than inspiring.
