Usually these guys go to whoever pays them the most.  I will say that if we win the World Series and he sits down with the Orioles and we pony up a respectable offer he might sign with the Orioles just to be on a young team that has a great chance to win for the next half decade.  Unlikely but it is possible he would resign with us.  If we are close to the big offers it might be hard to totally ignore us.  

If another team is at say 7 years, $275 mill and the O's are at 7 years, $265 mill does Burnes give the O's a second thought before signing w/ the team w/ a higher offer?  I'm guessing no.  Burnes has never expressed any desire to remain an Oriole long term.  He has only said he's going to free agency and will presumably go to whichever team is the high bidder.  At least he's honest about it.  He didn't say it, but he didn't bother w/ the I'd love to stay an Oriole for live bs.

Hyde is the worst. He just accepts this game after game after game. I'm sick of it.

Not sure why anyone is getting on Hyde. It's the 3rd inning. I'd rather he stays around to manage the full game. He's shown frustration with bad strike zones plenty of times this year. He also knows t

Not about reversing the call. The umpire needs to be called out and embarrassed in front of everyone for his incompetence. That’s what Aaron Boone does and it works in his team’s favor. Many Umpires w

Not a big fan of the way Holliday catches those pop ups. Off to the side and low.    I am sure he has done that for a  long time and is used to itm but to me it leaves a lot of potential for an error rather than staying directly under the ball and catching it in front of your face like you are taught.  

Yeah we are going to get used to him making tons of errors until he decides to grow up.  Like Adam Jones and blowing bubbles when catching the ball in the outfield.  He lied and said it was just a habit and he was not trying to do it.  He was.  He had one game where he dropped a ball he was under against the Yankees and the Orioles got beat.  He never did it again.  

So we will have to live through some misery till he figures out how to do it right.

I don’t live in Maryland, how are the taxes there?

If it was that close, I would think the Is would match

I said he is one of the top pitchers in the league. Do you disagree with anything I wrote?

He looks out of shape part and the contract part. I see allbig pitchers deals and think that they will not be worth that much on the field. It isn't a Burnes problem, it is a paying a guy that much to be useful every 5th day problem.

Angel cared, it helped torpedo his lawsuit.

You mean the lawsuit where he was arguing that his performance as an umpire was so outstanding that he deserved to be assigned playoff games? That lawsuit?

Actually, if you look at the comments...I wrote Coby is flailing. I was critical.So there you go.

Is he still mad at the Orioles for not calling him up? Because he looks bad. Baseball is very humbling. He obviously is gonna be a good hitter, and it’s good for him to learn that it’s an absolute different beast in the MLB. But I’d be shocked if he doesn’t have to go back down like Holiday.

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
