Jebman Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Well I must admit, we got slammed by moderate rain overnight and today, and I got caught in some of that heavy rain in my car with the leaky roof. LMAO. I ended up with nearly 3 inches of fresh rain by late this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrobjwa Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Seems the Orioles are headed for another mediocre season. I think this is it for Elias--and when he's fired we're really gonna find out what was going on (other than roster failure particularly on the pitching side) that made these players constantly underachieve their talent. I mean how does a GM mess THAT up? Has it really been the league's worst usage of analytics...so bad that it messed up all the talent? A soft philosophy that took the fight out of players? I feel like it's something beyond just the roster that has happened. And then the injuries...half of these are just bad luck. But others I'm starting to wonder. I mean you would think new ownership...followed by a new manager and increased spending...would improve things. But somehow we're still here, smh The Monday morning QB on what happened is gonna be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesnt know how to build a winning ML team, which is the actual job of a GM lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually a high desert type deal or Southwest US during monsoon. Been so dry in those parts and high winds carry the dirt and dust off the plains. Quite a setup to get that up there.

Looking forward to getting some foodies in addition to the beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 O’s are demoralizing to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris78 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Orioles roster construction is a mess. It's Home runs or bust. It's been this way for a while. This weekend shows just how bad this roster is when compared to a contender. It's sucks we went through multiple 100 loss seasons for basically 1.5 seasons of contending baseball. Most of their young core has been busts or not able to stay on the field. And Elias's unwillingness to actually sign a proven front end starter long term is frustrating. Baz doesn't look like a 1 or 2 at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
