DCSaints_fan Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Looks like we still haven't fixed Fujinami's control issues. And Mateo isn't long for this roster with his recent performance. Edited August 3, 2023 by DCSaints_fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Ryan Mountcastle ****ing hates Canada. If America ever plays Canada in the WBC they should add him to the roster just for that game. Jebus. 3/4 in the Rogers Center. Another statement series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 It's a good thing that they got Flaherty from the Cards but too bad they didn't get Verlander also, or instead of even. Fkn Astros. I hope they go far this year, it's really surprising already having the best record in baseball other than the Braves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if we didn't try to get him and offered even more than the Cheatstros but in the end he could always veto the trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving up the farm for a 40-year-old pitcher on a 2-year deal is not worth it. I know Verlander is a great pitcher, but imagine who would the Mets want in return. My guess is either Rodriguez, Kjeristad, or Holliday with another player(s) included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't even give up someone as highly ranked at Kjeristad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tigers had a deal to send ERod that blew up on their faces because he pulled the plug at the last minute. I think grabbing someone with upside and pedigree like Flaherty was a solid move. Even if he isn’t your game 1 starter in the playoffs, he’s a reasonable option and you always need more pitching, especially now in the dog days.

FootballZombie Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Throwing to 1st is always so hard for pitchers under pressure. My guy Dean almost muffed a short underhand toss. lol He's gonna throw 100 of those later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Buck got his ovation and tribute at the Yard last night. He deserved it. I’ll always love the way Buck turned things around in Baltimore. Just think how long the dark times of 1998-2010 were. It’s a generation of fans that got to watch Boston and NY treat Baltimore like their summer home. Our Orioles, some irrelevant stepping stone for the billionaire class of MLB. And I think Buck used that mentality to an advantage. When it’s knocking out the Red Sox in game 162 just 13 months later or sticking with Joe Sunders 12 months after that in the franchise’s first playoff game in 15 years. And for a lot of O’s fans - our only chance. Because they won all these 1 run games and were just “lucky” to be there. But so much of this franchises success came from having a skipper like Buck. A person who was prepared to a fault and always took the fall for his guys. It’s a shame that he has to endure the expensive rot of the Mets right now. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pen carried the day as well: Perez dealt out of a jam. Irvin looked great. He looked like the good version of Akin out there. Fuji looked dominant. Bautista gave up a double but dude started his swing so early it was more like a lucky guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out he was suspended for… mentioning how bad the Rays have vested out birds in recent years. Really! The ****? This is unacceptable for the Orioles to sideline someone for stating factual information about an opponent. I understand that the home team broadcasters should rep the club, but we don’t need state media. We don’t need Skintangibles level nonsense. Sheesh. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 This is utterly absurd. Like the Orioles decided to just take a little dump on the season. He didn't say anything wrong, they had a graphic with all of the info on it, he didn't crow, he built the game by mentioning they had a CHANCE to break a significant streak. Boo on the Orioles. Really. Brown's pretty good, too. He's grown on me. ~Bang 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBash Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Can the gods gift me two owners selling the team in back to back years? If not, I’m getting increasingly worried John Angelos is gonna move this team to Nashville 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
