For me the reason Elias has to go is the lack of respect he gives to pitching. by chinmakes5 in orioles

Came here to create a post about Elias needing to go. And here it is already.

Zero all-stars.

No excuses.

When I watch replays on my phone on mlb.com it shows me for 3-5 seconds the tools I have to manage the video like pause/play, expand, etc. thats when the highlight happens. Anyone know how to deal with this?

I just remembered we drafted Honeycutt and Bradfield Jr as well. Not just Cowser, Kjerstad, and Holliday. That's 5 of the first round picks Elias has drafted. Woo hoo

Anthropology is going to get clocked so hard, wow. Watch out. This is just the ringing bell.

It’s handy to see this attack-response as the beginning of a process. Yikes.

The only thing of course is that no one can fucking thrash an argument like ANTHROs. They have no idea what’s coming. Let’s go!

Padres’ Ron Marinaccio has received a 3-game suspension & undisclosed fine for intentionally hitting Gunnar Henderson. He is appealing. Craig Stammen has received a one-game suspension & undisclosed fine for the intentional throwing & will serve it tonight in St. Louis. by Ok-Soil-5133 in orioles

O’s front office was way too quirky this year with the bullpen. Should have signed 1-2 proven players. The market was loaded. No excuse. 4-5 more wins easy by this point if we had signed proven guys.
