No, but Coby is on the first flight out...Hey guys, we all love our Birds...lets wish the kid well and be PATIENT.

It only took 10 games for them to want to trade Holliday, I wouldn't count on patience around these parts, Roy.

Saving Mayo’s rookie  status is not related to saving money unless Mayo doesn’t play a full season NEXT YEAR.   There’s no difference in terms of Mayo’s eligibility for free agency or arbitration rega

And this cuts both ways, too.  Urias has a .907 OPS in July plus he's a Gold Glove third baseman.  What more does he have to do to not get leap-frogged by a rookie? I'm being somewhat hyperbolic

Of course, I am biased. I know Coby and his family well and interviewed Coby back in high school. I stay in touch with the family multiple times a week.Of course, I want to see him get his chance as m

dude you make like 500 threads about wanting to trade Mayo for all the future tommy johns of the league lol

I have never said trade Mayo specifically.  I said to trade one of JH, SB, or Mayo plus another prospect or two for an elite pitcher.

JH would have been my first choice to trade.  CM my last.

Can't wait for the gnashing of teeth if he goes 1-16 with 10 k's and makes 4 errors. Can't. Wait.

Allow me to remind the crowd that I wasn’t screaming for him to come up. I like defense.

So I reserve the right to scream about lousy D.

Mostly, I’m more pitchforky/torchy about the pitching.

It was made in jest because after 10 games people labeled Holliday a bust and wanted him traded. tH3 lEg K1Ck!!

I know you are being sarcastic, and maybe he will struggle...but the kid earned this call up and if given time I think he will deliver.I think he has the talent to do that. He's on the first plane to Cleveland tomorrow...I hope he gets to play..Im thrilled for the kid. He is a great, great kid.

I'm happy for you, Roy. And obviously also for Coby and his family.

Do you think Hyde and Elias will let him play every day? After seeing how those two have handled Kjerstad, Norby, Stowers, Ortiz, Westburg, and Cowser, I'm worried that they won't. Which would be more bad player development and management from them. It doesn't make sense to start his service time clock unless they commit to him as a better regular 3B option over Urias, which he should be.

My question is only for Roy, I don't care for anyone else's thoughts on this.

@Roy Firestone,  I was just kidding.  I am extremely happy for Coby, his family, and especially you.  I know what it is like to be invested in young people’s career you have a relationship with and they are about to see their dreams come true.  He has certainIy earned the promotion. I have very close musician friends in Nashville that just signed a big publishing deal.  I have watched their career since the beginning and it is fun to see their dreams and hard work pay off.   I know you are a big fan and I appreciate that even though I don’t always share your emotional roller coaster.  There is a difference between you and the trolls that post here just to piss people off and are not Oriole fans.  I hope we are begging to sign Coby to a big extension by the end of the year.  One of my best friends is friends with Jackson Merrill’s parents.  His wife and Jackson’s mother teach together.  I got to go to the game with them when he was in town.  Just a great story.

I have no idea when he will start, when he will play, or even IF he will play tomorrow night. But I'll say this, the kid is as ready as he'll ever be. My guess is they would not have brought him up if he wasnt going to play this week. But I'm not in Hyde or Elias' head. Im just so happy for the kid. Some may know he narrowly escaped a horrific tragedy at Stoneman Douglas High School (The Valentine's Day shootings that killed 17  people and his girlfriend's best friend was murdered.The trauma Coby felt from that horror has stayed with him and it would be a wonderful story to see him succeed in the big leagues.But Coby is already lucky. Not just to be a major leaguer...but to be alive.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
