      That would be career suicide if someone was bold enough to be that stupid, lol.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      I don't think so. There's really not a lot going well for them right now.

      If we make the playoffs, he can’t be on the roster. I don’t care how many career saves he has.

      Well, hmm. Ask the Phillies if they regret relying on Kimbrel in the playoffs. You may have your answer whether you want him on the roster IF the O’s hold onto a wild card spot. Or at this point, are you comfortable having him on the roster while trying to nail down that spot! I’m not and I’m sure his team mates cringe when they see him get up.

      Elias taking accountability

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      No one’s said that other top prospects don’t struggle.  There’s a sense of entire that ours shouldn’t, for some reason. I’m not sure why.  Maybe it’s because if Holliday and Mayo were hitting, this offense wouldn’t be performing so poorly like it has been for the past month or so. Maybe it’s because we’ve been conditioned to think that a lot of our guys are “can’t miss.” The only thing that’s missed are the pitches that Mayo and Holliday swing at night after night, game after game. In regard to Elias, it’s nice of him to offer himself up as someone who’s taking accountability, but they’re just words and they don’t really mean anything.  I used to work for an insufferable dickhead who’d “take accountability” and say things like “I’m responsible for this,” and “this falls on me,” and “I’m the one to blame here,” and “I accept the responsibility for this,” when things went wrong. And I’m not calling Elias an insufferable dickhead when I said that.  I’m saying that it’s easy to say those words because they’re what people want to/need to hear in a time where things are going sideways. But that’s the thing, those words don’t mean anything unless they’re said directly to someone who controls your fate or you fail to take action to rectify the situation, which is what made the guy I worked for an insufferable dickhead.  He said those things to us,-the employees- and then proceeded not to do anything to actually take accountability in his actions. So we’ll see what Elias does to rectify the situation in the offseason as I don’t think there’s much he can do this late in the season. I believe him when he said he didn’t anticipate this…and to be fair, none of the resident geniuses here who are calling for his head didn’t anticipate this, either.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By now · Posted

      Thx for the breakdown. We have to finish ahead of two of these four teams. Mariners and Tigers both 6 GB in loss column, but also the hottest two of the five teams. Therefore, an actual dogfight, who'da thunk? We also still have a 3G advantage over KC. The order of difficulty in schedule, offhand, looks to be: SEA, BAL, MIN, KC, DET.  So I see our best chances with the elimination of SEA (-6/7) and MIN (-4).

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      This team has had injuries of almost biblical proportions. 4 starting pitchers down, most for long periods of time, or all of the season. 4 in the starting lineup for extended periods of time, or out for the season. 2 key relief pitchers, and one closer that made all the difference last year.I defy ANY manager to win with all of those setbacks.On top of that, we have been starting as many as 4 rookies in the lineup if not all at once, then regularly. It's hard to expect the "light " to go on immediately. No, I can't blame Hyde but next year could be an even bigger challenge if the Orioles dont pursue at least 2 more starting pitchers and one TOR starter. We could lose Santander too, so we may need another MOO power hitter, and by MOO I dont mean Cowser. I DONT SEE THIS oriole team getting past the first round, and it looks like Grayson Rodriguez may not make it back either. Just horribly bad fortune...but I cant blame Hyde for that.
