mike elias doesn't care about winning, if the o's win great but it's secondary, he cares about looking smart and doesn't care how many times he looks dumb for his "maverick" moves because when one of them hits, oh boy just you wait, they'll finally see how smart he's been and how wrong they all were
Mike Elias might be the most hyperrational executive in MLB history when it comes to pitching—for better and for worse. He’s been in charge of the Orioles for seven full years now and he’s never: 1) signed a pitcher to a guaranteed multi-year contract; or 2) drafted a pitcher with a top-50 pick.

i mean ok... what is even the point of giving a single fuck about the orioles anymore when no one is safe from being traded
The Orioles have swung a deal, trading away right-hander Grayson Rodriguez to the Los Angeles Angels for outfielder Taylor Ward.
Rodriguez hasn’t pitched in a major league game since midway through 2024.

It hasn't sunk in to folks yet how truly remarkable it is that Mamdani won. It's absolutely incredible.

maybe the orioles and twins should combine for the rest of the year. we might be able to field a full roster that way
they call them "the twins" in honor of the only two people on the roster

This is without a doubt the most devastating deadline since 2018. Which is insane, considering we went to the playoffs last year.

last offseason, the only thing the orioles really needed was an OF that could hit lefties and 2 decent starting pitchers. Mike Elias couldn’t do that. he failed massively, and now we’re here

Imagine having the core of talent Mike Elias has and finding yourself selling off like this. Just complete baseball malpractice in Baltimore over the past year.

Also the Orioles just... cannot be doing this. That rebuild was so intense. The whole org got overhauled. It's also not like they are that White Sox core that never really got off the ground. They were on takeoff and now what?

Sports are so evil, I swear. In the past 12 months, I've watched the Ravens lose out of the playoffs yet again, my favorite basketball player got traded to my least favorite team, and now my favorite baseball player is also gone. I'm so over it.

respectfully, most of us definitely don't care. everyone is tired of home grown fan favorites getting traded away for prospects. cedric was a team leader and trading away someone like him is a trash message to both the team and fans
Okay guys I know this fucking sucks but uhhhhh Raimon Gomez can legit throw a pitch 104.5

So where can we get the pitchforks and torches and when are we meeting at the warehouse to run Elias out of town? Tired of this man and his inability to think without a computer

I truly hate Mike Elias. There's zero reason to never listen to your fans and to operate like this.
