I'm only doing the Chapman + Cueto deal if we have a window to talk to Cueto's reps and the deal is contingent on him signing an extension. And yes, I know that will drive up the price, but here's the thing: We traded Jeff Kent for David Cone. Jeff Kent went on to be a hall of famer in San Fran, but Cone helped us win the title, so no one complains. If Cueto and Chapman, in this 1 and a half year window we have left, can be key pieces and we win a title (big if), Hoffman, Norris, and SRF could become the next Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz for all I care and no one would shake two shits because at he end of the day, it's the ring that it's all about. I'd rather have 1 title and 9 years of no playoffs including a few tank years with our core pieces aging and having no future in the pipeline than to have 5 playoff years and another 5 just outside looking in years with no title. This offense is absolutely special. There's no guarantees of a title, but at some point you have to push the stack and go all in, and I think this year is the time. Make the all in push for this year and next and if it doesn't work out, it sucks, but at least you had a good run. It's not like the league will go defunct after next year and fold. We can still rebuild after next year and restock the pipeline, which has probably been one of AA's strongest suits.

Even Mr. Salty Babcock Tweets was enraged by this crap. That's when you just know...

Thank you.

For Ben Revere.

ANOTHER s***** blooper... please.

Surprised Cecil didn't get tossed. This is Bucknor after all.

If I were Hale, I would've gone full on Lloyd McClendon. Get your f***in money's worth.

Imagine a game umped by: Angel Hernandez (crew chief) Joe West CB Bucknor Jerry Meals (Balkin Bob Davidson) (Fieldin Culbreth) Last 2 for a 6 man playoff crew/

As much as I think the O's have thrown at Jose several times, tonight wasn't one of them. Warnings shouldn't have even been issued in the first place. Bucknor's digging his own grave deeper and deeper, but the MLB will gladly never hold an ump accountable.

Do you really think you'd risk having the bases loaded and bring the tying run up in the form of Chris Davis?

Osuna's arm is gonna fall off with how we're using him. Wow, you gotta be s***ing me.

Gotta be f***ing kidding me. On that s***?

Jose striking out is probably Baltimore fans' World Series win.

That's really subjective, though. You can give him barely enough space to slide to the outside, inside, or even go five-hole on you. But how much is too little, especially with Wieters being gigantic?

Yup. You can't block the plate without the ball, but once you get it, you can lie down on top of it if you wanted to lol. Okay, maybe not, but you can block it hard..

Why is Pillar swinging 3-0 and why Cola going home on that shallow ass s***?

At least you moved him, Navi. That'll do.

Damn, look at those steroids, now man could hit a ball that far without some roids. Such power. /orioleshangout

No need to risk killing his career.

Jose bat flipping on walks lol. Keep trolling.

Finally, a really good inning from Marco.

Somehow, Infante will get voted in at 3rd as well, even over Moustakas. It's no use.

Jose's due up 2nd next inning. This may get interesting.

ParmaLOL is worse than Colabello defensively.

Good job, Navi.
