Another wild thing about this is that the O's have had a surplus/logjam of OF prospects for the past several years (i.e. a position of supposed strength), and now they find themselves needing to trade for one year of a 32 year old OF. Lol and/or lmao.

I could easily see him having another good 3 years where he’s a big part of their offense while being a great team guy. I think the Mariners would take that all day.

Kevin Warren getting a game ball temporarily derailed the vibes for me

Why is Ben not running the ball?

I was gonna make a joke meatball post pretending to be mad because Royals/Marlins, but I guess I was beaten to the punch by actual posts.

I don't really think I'd chalk that scenario up to bad luck.

Yeah. I understand the move, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I like the move.

Hmmm

Special teams is trash and Caleb’s decision making or lack thereof continues to be frustrating.

Would you still be cheering for a lockout if the Blue Jays didn’t blow one of the multiple chances they had to win it? Either way, a team with a top 5 payroll was going to win the World Series. Either way, a team that offered Ohtani $700 million was going to win the World Series. The Dodgers barely squeaking by doesn’t really change things IMO.

I agree that fans generally don’t credit owners for winning, but that doesn’t mean owners never get recognized. I’m not sure I even know what’s being argued here, which is what I get for butting in in the middle of it lol.

Ehh, I want that to be true, but I don’t think it is. Watch tonight. The first one to get to hoist the trophy will be the owner.

Good call, ya bozo.

Looking forward to seeing them build around that core with key additions like Gio Urshela and Randal Grichuk.

Yep. I would even argue that last season was worse than just wasted time because I think there’s a lot of undoing that Ben has had to do just to get Caleb back to square one.

I do want to acknowledge the challenge of Caleb needing to learn a new (and much more complicated) offense. I’m willing to give it more time. And I’m even willing to accept that it probably needed to get worse before it can get better in terms of undoing everything from last year (great job Poles!). But holy s%*#, please show something we can point to. Blind faith can only go so far.

Caleb outplayed by a third string QB. When the hell is he going to show something? The patience asked of bears fans is insane.

Lamar out tomorrow per Schefter.

Woof. This might be a real ugly one.

Yeah no thanks

*chef's kiss*

Dodgers in 5 🥱

Trying to be patient, but definitely expected more progress from Caleb by now.
