SG , if Povich , Rogers , McDermott get ‘ blocked’ down at Norfolk, that means Orioles rotation are 1 ) pitching well and 2 ) they’re healthy. This is one reason why some of us are advocating for reinforcement pitchers from upcoming free agency .
I agree there will be a splash or splashes. OH will definitately debate the size of the spray however. For some it seems like it's Burnes or Bust. Change will come and IMO it will be designed to enhance the core of our team. This is The Elias Hour.
I agree. I would be totally shocked if they don't make a big splash this offseason. DR said he isn't getting any younger. I think he bought the Team specifically to win a WS. We will see.
Rather strange post from you. I've always assumed you were a pedal to the metal kinda guy when it came to talent acquisition. This post seems a bit out of character. Do you know something more you are not sharing?
My take on this, for what it's worth, is that the performance of the team over the second half of the 2024 season and the playoffs was not good. The deadline acquisitions were not impactful enough to move the needle and the team limped into the playoffs and got their ass kicked. Again. Once is an event. Twice is the beginning of a pattern. I think standing pat this off-season might lead to a major front office revision after the 2025 season if the team doesn't improve. Is that a gamble Elias is willing to make when he now has a non-Angelos Family owner with financial wherewithal to compete for the first teir free agents? I think not.
Smart business people understand when a business model needs a shakeup to get it moving in the right direction. Rubenstein is smart. I am very interested to see what he does this off season. I will be surprised if he stands pat.
That might be one of my top non Orioles moments in baseball history. Yankees blowing it in the 10th and one of good guys in the game doing it. Freeman has been through a lot as a person in the past with his family and this year with his son for him to be the guy to hit the Grand slam is fitting.
