Mullins takes a called strike 3 down the middle and then Holiday gets thrown out at second. In the 9th inning.

 

The Os broadcast team trying to somehow someway spin positivity lol

Hyde needs to go.

Elias needs to go.

Rubinstein can fu@king go to. Clueless

Let's do more Rubinstein bobble head giveaways. :axe:

So tell me: How exactly is this Rubenstein's fault? He didn't make the decision to make the bad signings and trade deadline moves. He and the ownership group just got full control less than a year ago...I think folks are blaming him just because, lol Now what WILL be his responsibility is what happens with Elias.

They spent no meaningful money over the off season. 

There we're ace's out there to be had but we end up with Charlie Morton and Kyle Gibson. How the F does that happen? Lol.

No extensions for any of the young core.

Just an awful off season.

He's not totally to blame but he controls the purse strings and he does get some of the blame. He shouldn't get off the hook completely.  Honeymoon is over lol.

It's known however that Elias chose not to spend. I really have the feeling he's gone at the end of the season, as team don't fire GMs midseason. Hyde however, I don't see him lasting much longer at this rate.

Well the kicker is, the payroll increased by like $70M!  For people like Charlie Morton, Gary Sanchez, and Tyler O'Neill!  Not exactly money well spent.

Just awful lol.  I should say Spent no long term money. All 1 year band aid deals. Even O'Neil isn't really a 3 year deal. Club can opt out after a year and I'm sure they will lol.

O’Neill can opt out, the orioles can’t. It’s a player option I believe. And probably not going to opt out at the rate he’s going lol

Should have never brought back Hyde after last season's playoff debacle. Now it's possibly a Lost season. Actually most definitely. Elias did nothing since last year's trade deadline. Poorly spent money. What was once looking like a several year window has closed. What a mess. Orioles fans don't deserve this.

All of that you just mentioned? Those are all baseball operations. Elias is the president of baseball operations. We went through three decades of Angelos constantly meddling in those...and how did that turn out? Ownership shouldn't be making those decisions--the GM has to be allowed to do his job!

And let's talk about those purse strings: As @WxUSAF just pointed out...Rubinstein increased the payroll by 70M. There are the purse strings--he enlarged them. Elias made the decisions on how to spend that money. Owner finances--owner let's GM makes decisions on how to spend it. That's the healthy way the hierarchy should work in any organization. What else is he supposed to do--especially since he just got here less than a year ago? This is ultimately on Elias.

And he will be fired after this failure of a season.
