Must be maddening as an Orioles fan
-
We definitely wasted the Bo/Vlad era, but its not for lack of trying. The Os for whatever f***ing reason refuse to take the final step. They should be signing guys like Kikuchi, Snell, Burns, etc. Otherwise they’re just willfully wasting years with their core.
-
How can you argue the Jays didn’t try to surround the core with respectable/all-star vets?? Ryu, Springer, Gausman, Kikuchi, Bassitt, and they were in/finalists for Cole, Ohtani, and Soto. Can’t force guys to take money if they don’t want to. The Jays just aren’t as good as drafting/developing as the current Os, and they never tanked like the Os did to get those top picks. The Jays “core” was never as good as the Os current core.

Huh
-
Im so glad the Orioles are continuing to fumble taking the next step and wasting prime years of Gunnar/Rutsch. And instead of just signing free agents, they’re making trades like the Burnes trade which is going to slowly deplete the farm if they continue on. They’re like, 1 step away from being a legit super-team but they’re just refusing to sign any legit top-tier free agents to address the rotation.
-
They show about 4-5 celebrities between each fight. Last week they showed Jack Flaherty and Joe Musgrove lol
-
Bo Bichette 5.5 WAR season incoming
-
Its really not as bad, or any worse than other major cities in North America. Although yes the traffic is f***ing insane and something needs to be done.
-
It will be great to finish 2nd on Tucker next year.
-
Tucker has to be looking at closer to 500+ though no? Tucker is easily better than Vlad
-
Makes sense. He feels like a good fit for them
-
He would’ve fit right in, blowing the lead in our first potential playoff win up 4-2 in the 9th.
-
Yeah I think you’re right. They could also potentially be traded at the deadline if we’re out of it, lets just hope they’re both playing well and both healthy at that time.
-
That is steeeep for Burnes if true.
-
Seriously feels like the team is cursed at times. This stretch from 2020-2024 has been nut shot after nut shot. Im pretty certain im sterile.
-
Same. Will be pretty upset if this ends up like last offseason and they don’t get enough firepower in the lineup.
-
This trade starts making more sense when you think about the SS situation past 2025. Plus if/when Bo gets injured, we have a legit everyday option. Would make even more sense if they decided to shift Bo to 2nd If Gimenez can rebound even a bit with the bat, he’s basically Ha Seong Kim which is a guy everyone wanted us to sign. But younger. Will be interesting to see what kind of deal Kim gets and how it compares to Gimenez’ remaining contract
-
Shrewd move… we hope? Still putting way too much emphasis on D over offense IMO. Are we actually tripling down after 2023/24 lol??
-
Ok cool. What the f*** is up with this front office and trying to acquire every player from Cleveland though? Like can we f***ing escape the past ever? Seems like Shatkins are way too tight with the Cleveland front office still.
-
RIP Aged like milk
-
Gross. Worst finish in years and we only get the 8th pick lol. And we can thank the A’s that its not worse.
-
I can definitely see it
-
We don't. Just like the 2023 pen flipped from being great to terrible, it can flip back the other way next year. You add 1-2 good arms, you rely on guys that were good last year, and you have to hope/expect 2 or 3 guys flip the script and pitch better. Can also add at the deadline after we see where things are at.
-
It could come down to him wanting to be "the guy" vs being the side piece to Judge. Plus he'll be an absolute legend if he can help the Mets win, vs being just another footnote in the Yankees story.
