  1. Here’s comment from the trade for our new OG earlier today: So hopefully we go sign an OG from the 53 man cut field. But also:
  2. Goodbye aggy. Hopefully we sign a strong run presence from the 53 man cut field.
  3. Good video breakdown of Stroud here. National reaction to Game 2 has been surprisingly positive. May play 3 quarters tonight.
  4. 10-4 Anyway, Will Anderson is the highest graded first round pick after first two preseason games and it’s not vey close on second. Good shit. Really liked what I saw from Stroud in Game 2. People who celebrate wins like our first or freak out about the loss like Game 2 in preseason: I do not understand you. But I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.
  5. http://x.com/pff/status/1694016579200311640?s=46&t=l1c-yg_wzkfID6Y8b5q26Q Why are tweets not embedding for me… Checked Borked thread, didn’t see anything. Plz halp

  7. Quick thought on O’s fans: Baltimore sports fans in general are strong. So props to them for enduring the shit that team shovels and showing up once it’s fun. But People generally boo Altuve/Bregman because they wreck on NYY. No one boos Mookie or Judge for using the same system because they didn’t hurt NYY in the process. And they don’t boo Springer or Gurriel because they’re no longer wrecking on NYY. Also, Baltimore… you’re NYY little bitch. They put you in a hole like Buffalo Bill and keep you there. So maybe it’s time to start cheering Altuve like a liberator. \Dumb rant
  8. So much for that raising awareness campaign. Thanks y’all. Ugly bird though, I guess the male is a bit more suavé. Was unaware of Google Lens somehow?! That’s worth this shit thread alone… for me.
  9. Orioles pretty good right Meow but we’re the King of the Jungle until proven otherwise
  10. He hasn’t even had 600 ABs, so basically hasn’t had a year’s worth of ABs yet. Do you know how many great players looked average or bad through their first year’s worth of ABs? You don’t want to be the guy who gives up on Mike Schmidt et al because his first year was bad. Development takes time. And sometimes, yeah, it doesn’t work out. Not saying Meyers destined for greatness, but you can’t say it’s over yet either.
  11. Good for Jake. He and Chas had similar splits through ~100 games, and Meyers had an injury after that. May be a solid player if given the chance, has definitely shown flashes.
  12. PSA: This is an informational post only, not anti-Maldonado. They clearly see value with Maldy as backstop, not worth crying about.
  13. 5 IP, 2 ER, 80 pitches. Bring him back out, this is far superior to a big chunk of our rotation for a month or more. With Cy Cortes out, it is time to go to work.
  14. Hunter is settling in. Three QS in a row.
  15. Nothing worse than dedicating your Friday night to going to the park and watching your home side get their asses kicked by a team you hate. Astros continue to spread the joy 😈
  16. Gave up Korey Lee to get him but with Diaz showing major potential and already being tutored, I’d say it’s probably not a big deal.
  17. A good get, and might lead them to go get Arizona, AZ State, or Utah to balance.
  18. Myers is not that bad when performing and whether people like it or not they clearly see value in Maldonado as prime backstop and tutor to Diaz. Remember that people were ready to bail on JP3 3/4 into one season before he got hot at the right time. Not even August yet.
