Well I mean ya just gave a rather fatalistic "The future is now and they blew it" as if it were no coming back for this group, so I didn't know what you meant, lol And I totally agree on the pitching--these dumpster moves ain't it, man. And even bringing in a veteran hitter that's actually good would help too. These young guys need leadership--and that's what's been lacking the last year or so. The best teams have found that balance of young and veteran and we haven't yet.

New ownership could choose to fire him, ya know...(perhaps he has a leash for this year, but next year may be the hotseat). People are forgetting about that part--Rubenstein & Co. have been here barely a year, and they deserve to be given a chance, imo

Maybe not this year...but ya'll are acting like it's all over for the next 5 years, smh

Oh so I guess the whole team is beyond repair and needs to be blown up, right? Sell everybody and start over? I mean according to you they already blew so there's no hope whatsoever for the future of this group, right?

Except...they didn’t. This team was incredibly young and inexperienced--that's why they didn't do anything in the playoffs. I do not believe that's the best they can be--they are too talented to not be able to do much more than that. It could just be an issue of leadership--and there's still time to correct that. I mean with this core, you actually make the right moves to add to the team, and possibly get a new manager, this could turn around in one season.

Yeah he's done...it's a crying shame with as much potential as he has. I was looking for him to grow into an ace, but alas...

Almost sure Detroit would've asked for Basallo and Holliday, lol That to me was the issue with last year's trade deadline...Elias got a lot of heat for that, but teams were literally asking for the two TOP prospects to trade for pitching...so I gave him a bit of a pass for that. Asking prices were absolutely ridiculous! The off-season on the other hand? Surely there had to be somebody better than Charlie Morton...

That's four years away, man. Still time for ownership to right the ship (as in firing Elias if need be).

Never said we didn't need to do better (though I doubt we could've gotten a Crochet) But the whole running out of time worry is way premature. .....Baltimore sports fans have to be the grumpiest in America, lol

"Soon"? We have our No. 1s locked up for at least 4 more years, man. We still have time.

Unfortunately we may be losing him as a poster...it's a shame for the weather discussion, but...he feels the way he feels.

Is there any atmospheric cause you can possibly think of for what's been happening I-95 n & w this year? To my amateur eyes it's hard to believe the same thing repeating itself many times in the exact same spot is just random. Did something setup back in December and just didn't budge?

I mean there has to be a meteorological explanation for this, right? Somebody oughta study it...it must be something in the atmosphere somewhere that set up sometime before the winter that's kinda lingered. No way this is just a random repetition of this "forcefield".

Never underestimate the Baltimore wall this year, lol

Was about to say...I'm at the point of ignoring the h really really really wrong. Hopefully the other mesos are right!
