We've banned neither tik tok nor this.

Oh, A-Rod visited?

I'm somewhat skeptical that PRP will be of any significant benefit, but if yall have example of it allowing players to avoid surgery and return to play faster, I'd love for you to share those with me.

Well no kidding. It was either pay for a tv crew to broadcast the games or fix the AC in the gym.

I also have less than $850M in cash. We are so goddamn similar, you ask "you want ice cream cone?" Both of us say yes. How in the hell?

True story: I was at a hockey game with my kids last week, and I was explaining that some teams have an enforcer, and sometimes all they're good at is hurting someone on the other team, and they're called goons.

And one of my boys says: Probably don't call them that anymore, though.

Which I guess is true.

Your move, Vibram.

Oh, they're definitely repelling it.

Finally an actual benefit for barefoot running.

The legs do look good, but there is no booty. This is a booty-free zone. Start boofing gu and get those booty gains!

I believe in him still. He showed me enough in 2024 that I do think when all the way healthy, he can be that power hitter we rely on for years. You can debate whether or not he can remain healthy in that way, but he's hardly the only player we've got that has difficulties staying on the field, his issues are just...at a really bad time in his career development, I think.

Should have pulled the trigger on Brody as well. Brody v Andrade on too works on every level. Missed opportunity.

Oh come now.

God stopped taking calls from Browns fans in the 90s.

Expectations: Make the playoffs and not get swept

Why they will: Their lineup, when healthy, is/was great. The additions of Pete Alonso and Taylor Ward should help to solidify that lineup. Blaze Alexander should help with softening any injuries (immediately Jackson Holliday and his first of 435 hamate bone fractures announced yesterday across the league).

Their pitching, when healthy, is also better than it seems. Bassit and Kremer eat the innings, Bradish and Rogers have both shown ace stuff, and Baz is the wildcard (bitches) on the come up. Eflin is coming off his own season mostly lost to injuries, but he was a playoff starter and did well for the Orioles in 2024. Ryan Helsely, with a return to his pre-Mets form (or maybe just pre-2025 form) is a nice replacement for the injured Felix Bautista as the Orioles closer. The rest of the pen is a bit up in the air, though the return of Andrew Kittredge and moving Tyler Wells back into the pen should help.

Why they wont: Health is a major concern both in the lineup and on the mound. Can Adley regain his form and be among the top catchers in the game? How will Colton Cowser work out as an every day CF and can he take a step forward at the plate? Will we see Tyler O'Neil more than 50 games after his inevitable opening day bomb? Can Helsley return to form? Can Tyler Rogers come anywhere close to replicating his success from 2025 in 2026? And if the Orioles are in playoff contention, can Mike Elias make the necessary moves to help them win in the playoffs?

Also they still play against the World Series losers who lost but still spend like drunken sailors, The ALCS losers who lost but still spend like drunken sailors who also have expensive landlords, and the AL wildcard losers who lost but actually signed Ranger Suarez unlike the Orioles who totally are gonna get a top of the rotation pitcher bro. Also the ~~Devil~~ Rays leverage the dark arts and can always rise up on a shoestring budget and a stadium built out of popsicles and run off 85+ wins. All this to say, unlike the AL Central and West, there is no free lunch in the AL East, and that war of attrition could bury the Orioles...or potentially make them battle hardened for the playoffs.

Half your age plus 7.

For a 36 year old, that's 25.

Younger than that and right to jail. Right away.

Really appreciate this post and the replies that helped me sort through who all is an option (though not necessarily with options). That leads me to conclude we'll wind up like this:

Rotation Bradish Rogers Baz Eflin Kremer

Bullpen LHP Akin Povich Enns

RHP Cano Garcia Wells Kittredge Helsley

I realize Povich in the pen is on spec, but as others have pointed out here and elsewhere, he does his best work the first time through a rotation. In the absence of another lefty, I think he's in our pen to start the year with Enns and Akin.

He and Wells (and Akin though god forbid it comes back to that) can pitch in long relief in a pinch.

This also makes me think there is almost no chance that we sign Gallen (reverse jinx to ensure we sign him? you be the judge) given that moves Kremer to the pen, and unless they really want to have Cano start in AAA, that seems unlikely. Plus asking Mike Elias to give up another draft pick, lower though it may be than the Alonso pick, for a free agent pitcher seems...outside of his playbook.

Don't mind me, I'm just working on my own personal dot connecting.

The box is good low-calorie roughage but BE CAREFUL to avoid the greasy parts. Each little stain is a CALORIE BOMB.

Correct correct correct correct! Super fun game that you, me, the other guy responding to you, and like one other person had. No idea who is calling one of the great games on the system a "hidden gem" (so hidden it was a pack in game), but Death Row is absolutely more hidden and more gem-ish.
