@gopqed @masnRoch A platform where stupid people can share their stupid opinions with other stupid people.

@markbeckens @masnRoch That’s true. Social media will be the death of civilization.

#Orioles Lineup - May 25   Ward - LF Henderson - DH Rutschman - C Alonso - 1B Wilson - 3B Taveras - CF Alexander - SS Holliday - 2B O'Neill - RF Bradish - SP

@gopqed @masnRoch It's not just Twitter. And they are EVERYWHERE!

@masnRoch Baseball used to be so much more fun to watch and follow before Twitter gave people the ability to piss and moan constantly.

@jeffkern68 @janeh57 I was 13. And I still don't whine and cry daily because they lose. It's not something I can control and they play for my entertainment. If I'm not entertained, I watch something else.

@janeh57 That man was 47 the last time the Birds won.

said “go o’s” to a 90 year old man in west virginia wearing an orioles hat and he said “bad season but life goes on” which is the mindset we should all adopt

@masnRoch Waiting for Elias to be blamed for this.

Tonight's game postponed #orioles #tigers

@FraudElias @Eric_Birdland @MysticalMarco You talk like you have never watched a MLB season before. He sucks today so he'll suck forever.

@markbeckens @Eric_Birdland @MysticalMarco Sure yea. At the moment what he’ll “become” doesn’t matter as much as what he is currently.

If you are thinking about separating Elias from the O’s, at this point I am FOR IT

@FraudElias @Eric_Birdland @MysticalMarco That has been known to happen also. He could even struggle the entire season and still be worth the contract he got. You don't know what he will become, much less what those prospects will.

@markbeckens @Eric_Birdland @MysticalMarco Very possible. It’s also possible he’s never any better than this

@FraudElias @Eric_Birdland @MysticalMarco Let the season play out before you fire everyone and trade Baz. You do realize that just because a player performs at a level for 9 games, that that is what he will be for every game after that. It's been know to happen that a player improves. Makes an adjustment!

@markbeckens @Eric_Birdland @MysticalMarco We kinda do know what Baz is this season. An average arm at best. And remember Elias doubled down on that already questionable prospect investment

@Eric_Birdland @FraudElias @MysticalMarco And Brien Taylor. Crying about trading prospects who haven't made the big leagues yet is ignorant. You don't know what they will become or what Baz will do over this season and the next few seasons. So root for his success. Stop whining about what ifs.

@markbeckens @FraudElias @MysticalMarco So was Matt Weiters homey

@masnOrioles That was a very confident looking swing. Hope he gets him going!

Think he found the barrel

@FraudElias @MysticalMarco @Eric_Birdland Shane Baz was a highly-touted consensus Top 15 prospect in all of baseball, peaking as the No. 12 overall prospect on the MLB Pipeline Top 100 list prior to the 2022 season.

@markbeckens @MysticalMarco @Eric_Birdland If none of them make the show then yea it’s pretty hard for us to lose that trade. But in reality Baz has been much worse than average so far, while Forret and Bodine are playing like top-100 guys.

@FraudElias @MysticalMarco @Eric_Birdland But, you are basing your opinion on the trade, on prospects who haven't even made the show yet. If Baz is average and none of them ever make the show, who won this trade?

@markbeckens @MysticalMarco @Eric_Birdland I get it’s early for him but results are still results. He was acquired to serve a bigger role than he’s capable of filling at this point it appears. Which is disappointing for month 2 of a 5 year deal

@FraudElias @MysticalMarco @Eric_Birdland And you still missed the point.

@markbeckens @MysticalMarco @Eric_Birdland Just calling it like I see it. There’s a massive outcome gap between “bust” and “frontline starter,” but we’re over a quarter through the season and he has the 6th worst ERA and 8th worst K-BB rate among qualified starters.

I got to meet @TheMayorsOffice @EddieMurray_33 and @TomBarrasso today.

@zachbollinger18 My first thought would be lack of common sense.

Why are people upset Westburg got the PRP shot in an attempt to try to help the team this year? If he gets the internal brace surgery now he'll be back in 6-9 months (per Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt on the show). They took a chance for 2026 just like fans wanted. I'm okay with it.

@2osfans @masnRoch because those guys don't get DFA and traded for cash. You trade for those with talent, hoping you can get the best out of them.

@masnRoch Why???????????????? Can they ever get a guy with a decent ERA when they do this? baseball-reference.com/players/n/nune…

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: - Acquired RHP Eduarniel Núñez from the Athletics in exchange for cash considerations and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk. - Designated RHP Christian Roa for assignment. The Orioles’ 40-man roster currently has 40 players.

@FraudElias @MysticalMarco @Eric_Birdland So, after 9 starts you have seen all you have to. You have determined Baz is a bust and will never improve enough to equal the prospects we gave up, Even though they haven't played 1 inning in the majors. You don't even know if any of them will. But 9 starts is all you need?

@MysticalMarco @Eric_Birdland People aren’t gonna be happy when you sink 5 prospects and 60+ mil into the sort of production you can get from the ghost of Charlie Morton. It’s Rogers all over again, there’s talent but not enough reliability to be a legitimate frontline guy.

@bl7209481042479 @GregRomanBurner @Bird_watcher21 @masnRoch Reading comments here often, usually makes my head hurt and I feel ashamed to be associated with the people who post them. Where did common sense go?

@GregRomanBurner @Bird_watcher21 @masnRoch please, like i'm begging, for you to explain how tf putting a high-a player equates to this. the average iq of an orioles fan literally makes me ashamed to be a fan of this team. like wtf are you talking about dude?

OF prospect Nate George on IL due to illness and Elias said it’s gonna “be a while” #orioles

@unclejimbo21 @masnRoch You can always root for the Yankees or Red Sox.

@masnRoch YUP KEEP BENCHING YOUR BEST HITTER BECAUSE A LEFTY IS PITCHING!!! I HATE THIS TEAM
