Sports Guy Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 4 minutes ago, JUSTgottaBELIEVE said: Everyone references the Rays as the example of this but they also trade most of their good mlb players before they hit free agency for prospects. They don’t have a top farm system because they draft so much better than everyone else. If that’s the model the Orioles want to follow I suppose you can be competitive often but never really a consistent contender to win a World Series and you also get to see your team constantly unload their best players every few years. It’s not the worst model for a small market team but I think I’d also be frustrated by it as a fan. Most ML players should never see arb 2 or arb 3 money. Let someone else pay for production you should be getting for the league minimum. Tampa is cheap but they are also smart, they recognize this.

Based on WAR for 2023, the Orioles had 6th ranked staff in MLB, #7 per ERA and #8 per xFIP. I would say that is rather good with many controllable young pitchers.

But yes, 100% joking about that proposal and obviously Gavin Sheets makes zero sense you guys. Real crab cakes don’t need sauce although some like cocktail or tartar sauce anyway.

I’ve seen Mustard on crackers and Mayo with a sprinkle of Old Bay on a sandwich. I personally don’t use sauce. By the way, I visited a Shula’s recently and they served a remoulade with their crab cake. The food was really good but that sauce was disgusting. Here is one of many good places if you like Maryland style crab cakes. They will send them to you 🙃 https://gandmcrabcakes.com/24-oz-crab-cake-tub-bulk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only 15 minutes away from BWI. I miss that place. Give me some G&M crab cakes and Portillo's Italian Beef. 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that is still an issue but they do/did make an excellent crab cake. If you ever ate them at the Peppermill they are fantastic too.

Sports Guy Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Btw, can we screw this Cease talk? I want to know what you guys want to do with the first pick and if you want to trade Fields? That’s a fascinating discussion imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams do win when they have a lot of poor money spent but the less dumb money on your books, the better. More and more teams are wising up but there are still a lot of dumb teams out there in terms of how they spend money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
