So you'd trade 2 dudes who are valuable pieces to the offense in Santander and Mountcastle and a guy whosgreat on defense in Mateo for...what again? Santander would probably command maybe a #3 guy in another teams rotation, while the prospects could command a #1 or 2 in another rotation. Dont break up whats working right now. We did that in 2014 and look what happened.

Santander is absolutely expendable considering who we have in the minors and the case could made that Mountcastle is as well.

Mateo has been hitting much better this year, which makes him much more valuable than as a simple defensive replacement.

Middle relief remains troubling and santander and mounty could get valuable shut down guys for the 6-8th innings.

You'll enjoy yourself if you haven't gone before. Try to get into the Left Field Picnic Perch if you can (sections 282-288) where it's the all you can eat section.

6/2/24 Should have been a sweep of the Rays but Coulumbe blows another game. This bullpen is shit, period!

Once again, Elias did not do enough for this young team that is ready to contend now with sufficient pitching. He claims to have had a lot of depth however, that depth was not enough to have faith moving forward thinking a guy like Means would be there long term. Now Wells. Bradish looked like he forgot to pitch yesterday resulting in compromising the bullpen arms.

Elias did not do enough to ensure the O's had a formidable 1-2-3 or upgrades to the bullpen this year. It is just disappointing is all.

Tate is the one who actually got the loss, as he's the one who put those runners on base.

He is however, Hyde cannot find any consistency in the bullpen from anyone.

I think it was Hyde's leaving in of Tate too long is the primary reason. Should've seen that he was struggling to do anything while coming back for the 8th. Could've had Coulombe come in then and hope to shut things down to bring Kimbrel in the 9th. Honorable mention goes to Mountcastle who just went up there hacking at the first pitch with the bases loaded and ends up grounding into an inning ending double play.

Povich got called up to the taxi squad in case Bradish needs an extra day of rest tomorrow.

Orioles got another series win against the Rays and if I were Mike Elias, im opening up the checkbook for Burnes because he and Grayson are looking to be the 1-2 in this rotation going forward.

Agreed. It's just going to be very difficult with Burnes though since Boras loves to take his guys to free agency. Just have to hope that he enjoys playing with Baltimore to have a chance.

After this series I stand corrected. They are the aces and just dominated the best team in the National League.

I feel like with the numerous starting pitching injuries right now and with the likelihood of Burnes not coming back next season, we should trade for someone like a Luzardo or Crochet that we'll have control over for at least more than one season.

I have a small feeling Burnes might come back, especially if we win the World Series.

Had a great time in Camden Yards again, though I missed the first inning between having issues finding a parking garage and clipping someone's car. :(

I hit Sapwood Cellars in Columbia afterwards, awesome brewery. Stayed in Ellicott City. Cool little place.

Would like for you to be right but I'm kind of hesitant to believe it since we'll eventually have to try to sign both Adley and Gunnar to long term deals and I think Gunnar has Boras as well.

I always stop by the Crazy Mason there in Ellicott City before getting to my hotel. Great place if you love ice cream.

Yeah, parking isn't always the most enjoyable thing there. I know that they really jacked up the price, at least for the game I went to a few weeks back. I'm going again next Monday to the Cleveland game (I did the rookie flex deal so I'm able to get to a bunch of games) so curious how much it'll be (at least the hotel I stay in has a parking garage so don't have to worry too much about it).
