Did you know he never gave up a Grand Slam?  And did you know from the time Jim became an Oriole to the time he retired the Orioles were the BEST team in all of MLB in win/loss.  Well let Jim tell you.  

Honestly I am happy to have Jim back.  Hope they pair him with Ben McDonald.

Tough call.  Kimbrel was rusty last time out. 

Not really, he threw one away to 1B. Had good command, didn’t get hit really hard except for the last hit, but that’s an out in a regular alignment.

Yep, and if Stowers didn't have to play in with 1 out and the win run on 3rd, that last hit would have been a deep flyout.   

So even on a terrible night he basically gave up 1 run in two thirds of an inning, unearned because of an error he made.

I think a 3 run lead is pretty safe.

    • 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.
    • 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.
