The Roman Empire was pretty big on Haruspices. They had tons of them.

We had a Western Civilization class in high school that I skipped in favor of an easier class called Modern World History, so I’m a little weak on my Greek and Roman history.

You don’t seem to get it. Mayo and Basallo aren’t just prospects. These guys are upper echelon elite offensive talents that have usually been at the top of their leagues offensively while also being v

When that series started my kids were in their “read to me” stage.  By the time it ended my daughter was in high school, locking herself in her room to devour the latest book within 24 hours of publication.  So, I don’t know too much about anything past the second book.

I know the general themes but I've never read them or seen the movies.

Oddly, I'm in the same boat, but much later in life became interested in Greek, Roman, and Egyptian history.

You listen to the Fall of Civilizations podcast?

Guy only puts out one or two episodes a year but man they are good.

I do, I wish they had more episodes. Cooper is great. I missed his AMA on Reddit in April I keep meaning to read it.

Roberts would make good CF for Orioles . The problem is they need pitching upgrades . After they acquired the pitchers, who would they have left to trade for Roberts ?

True. He would be unlikely for that reason and a few others.

If our low minors prospects were performing I could see a trade like this.  But it's a little tough because we're pretty thin below AAA right now.

 

I don't think we need to empty the farm to pick up relievers.  So I think we can afford to give up prospects for someone like Robert, especially if we think we can get him right.

If you can get Robert without giving up your top 3 prospects, I think you look heavily into doing that.

I'd be very happy to have him, but getting two relievers (hopefully a closer among them) and a starter would take priority for me.  If we were able to get two relievers, and a starter, and had enough to get Robert, that'd be sweet.  It would, however, be a big ask.  Many would consider Robert a luxury.

Maybe get Kopech in the deal as well.

I personally don’t believe there will be a stud reliever/closer type guy out there.

But Kopech and a guy like Nardi could be good and I doubt we have to give up much to get them..at least much in the grand scheme of things.

      Making some changes on the biz end of things.  Sounds like Bader is gone from his role too..which is great because he’s awful.

      I love the wall. Love it. I think every Major League ballpark should have dimensions like that. By and large teams build parks with much smaller dimensions than a century ago, despite the players being dramatically bigger, stronger, faster athletes. It makes no sense. The game would be improved with much larger outfields. It would emphasize speed and athleticism over endless lineups of slow sluggers.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      Yes, so hes a FA, the Discussion should now turn to what Elias or anybody else might offer next year. and it's tough because at 34 he's almost a one year wonder. But I do know this our season came back from trouble all year and Big Al was there to help many times.

      We all know you think you're passionate about your team and your ideas. but the way you continually insult people whose ideas you don't agree with, or who disagree with you, is incredibly childish.   It's a form of cyber-bullying.   I'd like to think you're better than that, and wonder why more people don't call you out on it.  Maybe they know it won't change anything? Is it not possible to disagree without having to insult either the person or their thoughts?  I know it's hard to self-reflect and realize that you constantly do this, and maybe make a change for the better, but I kind of expect some insults are now headed my way for trying to make this place a bit less hostile.

      We'll see Rubenstein talks a good game, but actions speak louder than words. Also it's on Elias to be willing to make a splash if the right (but also pricey) player become available and wants to be an Oriole. I was never big on an Adley extension even last year with the way catchers age. Gunnar is a player you absolutely lock up to an early contact extension assuming he is even open to it.

      I think for almost all owners payroll matters more than winning. Even teams like the Yankees are careful with how they go into penalty.

      For sure. That's why the Hyde quote implies he is a free agent.
