All our runs are by home runs!

Was gonna comment on that too. Good times here but as we've seen you live by the HR and die by not hitting the HR

Beyond time to collect the receipts on the OHers who doubted Taters. 

I've been telling people since May to take a Xanax, he's going to do his thing.

I think Santander would be a great guy to extend 3 years - as long as it's reasonable on both sides. We need a power bat like his.

Tony having a big 2nd half would be awesome and not ideal at the same time. Id like to see Taters back on a 3 yr deal. 

I don’t know if they will want to invest the 60 plus million that is going to take.

I'm going to miss Tony Two-Times Taters when he leaves. He's my favorite Oriole. What a great rule 5 pick he was.

They should’ve listened. They probably didn’t. He’s been really consistent for the past few years. I think people will appreciate him more if/when he’s gone.

My first memory of "taters" is the RS's slugger, hulking (but good-fielding) George Scott, referring to his HRs that way in the 60s an 70s. Did he create the term?

From https://www.espn.com/boston/mlb/story/_/id/9520950/george-boomer-scott-died-feeling-some-resentment:  "I love my taters, my sweet potaters, and I love my home runs just like taters," he'd

I think Tony has loved being an Oriole. Great clubhouse presence. He saw the darkest times and Im sure if we are fair to him, he wants to see this thing through.

All the receipts one can want are in the Santander thread that DirtyBird started, I suppose. They dogged him hard like they've never seen him play before in the colder months.

He deserves it, and hopefully, fans that appreciate him.

Interesting to me since this was viewed as a weak draft.

Did they bump up the pool monies by a substantial amount?
