Couldn't happen vs a more deserving opponent. 

Don't quite understand the hatred towards the Royals.  I grew up 2 hours from KC and got to see several Orioles games growing up, including some of Cal's last games.  Not a Royals fan per se, but have wonderful memories in Kauffman.

You've erased 2014 from your memory. Great move!

Did you “honor” RSD today?

edit: is that just a Colorado rhing?

I didn’t know that was a thing.  I spend way too much money when I go to the record store so it’s probably good that I didn’t honor it.

That playoff series was so annoying to watch.  Everything they hit dropped in and everything the O's hit found a glove.

Can’t really put my finger on it, but something about them just really gets my blood boiling. Don’t like Salvador Perez at all. I’d only root for this team against the Yankees.

That entire series went like the top of the second inning. Brutal.

They were a young, confident team...just like we are now.  They seemed annoying at the time, but now I get it.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      I mean imagine having Burnes for 1 single year, and your only other move is Kimbrel. In hindsight it seems pretty ridiculous.

      I'd pitch Tate or Akin over Cano, even Perez or Baker, probably.

      By interloper · Posted

      I agree with the OP. Elias seems to have wildly miscalculated his bullpen and overall pitching staff. Bradish and Means should not have been factored into the equation at all given their injuries, and counting on Wells was suspect as well.  He didn't find this year's Danny Coulombe or Cano. No magical waiver claims or trade finds to speak of this year.  Way too much reliance on guys like Perez and Webb, and even Cano, who he should have figured would regress.  Just a lack of action with regards to the pitching. He made two pitching moves in the offseason and 0 that have worked out  so far during the season (the various waiver claims and minor league deals).  What are we doing here exactly?

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      By Ripken · Posted

      If "all in" means there's a legit chance to win a championship... this is "an" all in year, but it certainly won't be the only one.  Elias is not going to sell off half the farm out of desperation, nor should he.   He really needs to add more pitching though, which we all know and which has been true since the beginning of last season.  It will be true next year and probably every year.  In this regard, I'm not thrilled with his efforts to date but there's another huge opportunity in front of him right now.  The Orioles really have to start developing and paying for more pitching going forward because the bats are here and ready.

      IMO, this off season is a time for Rubinstein to prove himself as much as Elias. An owner doesn't make trades and if you are talking about taking on big contracts - takes two to tango. I'm not using this trade delined as an indicator for new ownership, but I am anxious to see how next year's budget/payroll plays out.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      It's low hanging fruit to laugh at the doom-and-gloom crowd, the sky-is-falling Chicken Littles, and the run-for-the-hills Billies.  So, fruit duly plucked. 🤣 However, there is some truth within their pessimistic outlook.  It's absolutely fair to be concerned about our pitching.  Who's to say who is right or wrong in how much concern there should be?  Well, we all have a say.  It's why we're here.  The beloved @Roy Firestone is admittedly the most pessimistic Game Thread poster in history, yet no one questions his love of the O's.  Nor should we berate those with strongly pessimistic views about our chances as being less of a fan.   It's just my two cents, but I think it's readily apparent that we need to add to our pitching and I believe Elias will address it.  A quality starter and a reliever or two would likely do wonders for the team... and our collective sanity.   I just don't feel we'd need to deal Holliday, or Mayo, or Basallo to get there.  Then again, I may be wrong.
