Showalter is a class act and it is a shame if he goes out this way. He certainly wasn’t given much to work with this season.

That is a shame. I like Buck.

If they get rid of Buck and keep Dan, that is insanity.

Adam Jones was named the Orioles’ MVP today. I know this season has been trying for the fans but this honor is so
richly deserved. With the O’s in rebuilding mode it seems Adam will not be back next season. Thank you Adam for
your contributions on and off the field. You will be missed !

As the playoffs are taking shape, looks multiple former Orioles will have a chance at winning a World Series. Remember that graphic of how many former Browns players were playing in the Patriots/Falcons Super Bowl? I feel like you could make a similar list showing the former Orioles who are now playing in the MLB Post Season in 2018.
Brewers - Jonathan Schoop
Braves - Kevin Gausman, Darren O'Day, Brad Bach, Nick Markakis
Yankees - Zach Britton
Dodgers - Manny Machado
Yep, because I feel if we made all these moves then we have to start over at both Manager and GM. Maybe it works, but I feel this rebuild should have started two years too late. All I want for 2019 is to see Adam Jones suit up in a Orioles Uniform next season.

Hopefully each year this will serve as a reminder to ownership to let qualified baseball people make baseball decisions.

Well that was the 4 teams we dealt with so I'm glad for them

I agree.They should arrest the owners of this team and throw them in jail.
He may have inherited a great franchise, but kept thst franchisw consistent until the infamous 0-21 year or something like that. There was a time in he mid 80s where the lifetime head to head competition between the Yankees and Orioles favored the Os

Yeah, no doubt. Much of the Orioles success from the sixties through the early 80s can be attributed to their great minor league system which constantly fed young talent into the team. They were the most consistent team in baseball during that time.

I thought baseball contracts are guaranteed. I am afraid we are stuck with Davis' contract.

We are. But I'm not going to pretend that I was so much smarter than the owners giving him that contract. I wanted to sign him at the time. Problem is we didn't sign Manny, Schoop, top notch pitchers, etc. So if you look at a team like the Yankees, a bad contract doesn't stop them. They just keep on trying to make their team better. We signed Davis and that was it. Oh yeah, and we traded away our best players for not much in return. So yes the Davis contract hurts and it sucks for sure, but that is not why we are losers.
