Spaceman Spiff Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 8 hours ago, capcrunch98 said: He's got 1 year deal left on his deal, he's a Boras client, and I still have to assume this is small-market Baltimore until new ownership proves otherwise. So I'm looking at this as 1 year of Burns. I wouldn't say we didn't give up much - 2 top-100 prospects is nothing to sneeze at, even for a club with a stacked farm like the O's. But we have a team on the verge of doing something special, we had to make a move for a TOR ace, and Burns is awesome. Happy about the trade. Can't believe we're only 2 months from Opening Day! Burnes is represented by CAA. That said, I am looking at it as a one year deal, too. But in thinking about Burnes, he was pissed, PIIIIIIISSSSSSED about how the Brewers treated him in arbitration. I think he just wants to be in a place where he's respected and well compensated. There's no reason that can't be here. This is a great, great move though. I am cautiously optimistic that the new ownership is willing to spend some good money. This is a great step in the right direction in that regard. I was looking forward to baseball season because...well, baseball season...but this just put me over the top. I ****ing can't wait, this is awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His B-R page says CAA but articles reference him switching to Boras last offseason. Either way, I doubt he’s signing an extension before hitting the open market. Definitely agree about the level of excitement (assuming the sale goes through). We’ve had two extra reasons to get hype in the past 72 hours! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This vid says its Boras and he found out before his agent did. 9:13 mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofSparta Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The Pirates' home opener is against the O's. Got me some tickets to one of the games so I can be there in person to cheer them on to ruin Pittsburgh's season early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What say the crowd? @DCSaints_fan can probably update the title! The O'Hearn/Mountcastle platoon continues in 24, May as well run it back until you find a long term replacement for both.

Ball Security Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Not a good start to camp. Bradish a UCL injury. Gunnar has an oblique strain, and Means is behind schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the Rays proved that you can’t win the division in April. I guess TJ is on the table if conservative measures don’t work for Bradish. It’s easy for fans to be like - ok have the surgery now so you can come back in June or July 2025 but that’s not our career on the line. They have a lot of trade capital if the need comes. It’ll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatBuzz Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I'm listening to the Locked On Orioles podcast. Sounds like the plan is a PRP injection. It's already actually been a month since he first noticed it and they haven't decided to do surgery so far. Elias apparently said he thinks Bradish could be on the mound in June.

abdcskins Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I hope Holliday makes the roster. Past few years the Orioles have been giving young guys shots, as opposed to coddling them in the minors until their mid 20s. I thought Adley should have come up sooner. Bradish news sucks. Hope he can come back, but gut feeling is he will be out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting until late May (I think?) to bring him gets us another year of team control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 1 hour ago, TheGreatBuzz said: I'm thinking wait to get another year of contract out of him. Exactly. Maybe this new ownership group doesn't care since they have money? But, I don't see why they'd just recklessly give up a year of team control.

TheDoyler23 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Cowser walks it off with a bomb and the Birds are 1-0 in spring training! Rutschman with a homer as well. Burnes looked good with 2 Ks in his inning. Away we go. Cue the MASN theme. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Angelos was a petty, vindictive man who trashed the DC area and feuded with the late jack Kent Cooke over Baltimore getting a football team in the 90s. He meddle constantly, tried to buy titles unsuccessfully, drove an organization into a deep hole of which they are only just now getting out of. "DC is not a baseball town." His only saving grace is his support of labor in 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Peter Angelos was a brilliant and tenacious litigator. He was pro labor, and a true philanthropist. He supported, believed in and embodied Baltimore. He supported many charities and foundations and writers have often reflected that there are dozens and dozens of things he has done for people behind the scenes that he didn’t put his name to. — He also refused to compromise Cal’s streak with replacement players. He refused to put some bull**** insurance company on the marquee of Oriole Park. He made sure he made the best deal possible when MLB forced a DC team. Even in death, I’m sure he will still remain a boogeyman to many. He was also a stubborn tyrant who refused to learn and adjust as an owner after some initial success with a team he didn’t assemble in a stadium he didn’t build. He failed to sign Mike Mussina. He meddled in draft choices and free agent signings, he made baffling management decisions like firing John Miller or compelling Davey Johnson to resign. He also allowed the farm system and baseball infrastructure to rot. He pushed talented people out the door as he had to be right. He also believed that his ownership was akin to a public trust. He was loyal to Baltimore and he stipulated on his will that his two jewels - the firm and the ball club, be sold upon his death. He came from meager beginnings and didn’t want to install some kind of succession to his kids. As a lifelong Orioles fan, I’m conflicted by the news of his passing. He’s not Snyder - a person with almost no redeeming qualities. But he never really held up his end of the bargain to help deliver Baltimore a championship it deserves. This is the true end of one era and the beginning of another. Hopefully with more success. Safe home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
