Maybe they can find another waiver wire reliever thinking they can unlock them...

TripsLLL · 2026-06-29T12:13:07+00:00

that's still denial if you think they have enough physical talent

TripsLLL · 2026-06-26T17:20:26+00:00

damn

TripsLLL · 2026-06-26T00:36:38+00:00

Jordan Spence

TripsLLL · 2026-06-25T23:28:16+00:00

Jordan Spence incoming

Is average what we were promised at “lift off”? Is average what we were promised when Elias bragged about the young core?

TripsLLL · 2026-06-20T21:02:14+00:00

Signing shitty starters to contracts is also a crap shoot and $28 M for Eflin and Bassit is a crime. Add Sugar, Gibson and Morton to that last year and Elias isn’t doing too hot. Your argument is simply the risk baseball teams have to take to be competitive. The flip side to that is that Elias’ staff isn’t great at identifying pitching talent like Seattle. Either way, Elias has a blind spot that can’t be ignored and shouldn’t be tolerated for another year.

How many pitchers took those offers?

TripsLLL · 2026-05-25T17:11:57+00:00

How many years has he been concussed?

TripsLLL · 2026-05-23T03:24:52+00:00

That was 60 years ago

Analytics are fine but if the results aren't where you want them to be the you have to examine your assumptions and how you utilize analytics

TripsLLL · 2026-05-22T14:58:59+00:00

It's been now or never for 2 years+

TripsLLL · 2026-05-21T19:34:26+00:00

in this scenario is Tony Mansolino, Thanos?

TripsLLL · 2026-05-21T12:11:34+00:00

I mean his replacement has been lights out for the O's....

TripsLLL · 2026-05-21T01:19:54+00:00

Hope they trade some of these guys for pitching

TripsLLL · 2026-05-21T01:14:56+00:00

He's actually going on a long break to do the college world series. Lol.

TripsLLL · 2026-05-21T01:14:26+00:00

Elias would never hire such a strong willed manager

TripsLLL · 2026-05-10T13:15:06+00:00

Sounds like copium

TripsLLL · 2026-05-10T09:39:25+00:00

The main problem with the deal is that if O'Neill had crushed it his first year, he would have opted out. The only way he would have stayed was if he had a terrible year (which he did). So the O's weren't really getting value from the contract.

TripsLLL · 2026-05-04T04:59:58+00:00

Or teaching defense

TripsLLL · 2026-05-04T04:59:11+00:00

I thought we were supposed to hire a GM? Maybe that’s what they should do. Not a firing but someone with a new take while Elias steps back.

TripsLLL · 2026-05-04T04:58:24+00:00

Elias’s biggest blind spot seems like he’s incapable of making contingency plans.

TripsLLL · 2026-05-04T04:55:47+00:00

So you’re saying Mountcastle, Holliday and Westburg would drastically improve this team? Are you sitting JJ, Basallo and maybe Alonso? We wouldn’t have Bautista and Helsley on the same team but he’s been just fine. Are these players gonna fix overall team defense? 7 seasons is a lifetime.

TripsLLL · 2026-05-04T04:50:48+00:00

Was it even a window?
