Baltimore Orioles should be relegated to AAA.

14 losses in a row. No desire for ownership to spend money to make this team competitive.

I say let them go to AAA. Anyone here a fan ?
What a sad state of affairs.

    Been a fan since 1966. It’s amazing how far they’ve fallen in just a few years. I don’t follow closely anymore but we’re they a playoff team 3-4 years ago?

    Yeah its been a rough couple a years. They have some nice talent in the minors (Rutschman, DL Hall, Grayson Rodriguez, Kjerstad, Gunnar Henderson, etc.) but they are all a ways away from the MLB team. The hitting has a few nice pieces (Mancini, Mullins, Santander) but the rest has been awful, the starting pitching has been awful outside of John Means and the bullpen has been terrible as well.

    It’s a shame. I have been to Camden Yards many times when I went to the Baltimore coin show. It’s a great place to see a game. I suppose if you are rooting for the opposition, it’s okay.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    When the Red Sox come to Camden Yards in the summer it’s a full stadium with 70% Red Sox fans.

    The pitching has been horrible. The Orioles have historically had very good pitching.

    They must have cut spending on scouting and minor league development. You tell me they can’t do like the A’s or Rays ?

    There is no desire by management to improve. With a terrible team and less fan support it will make it easier for the Orioles to leave Baltimore. Who can blame them?

    Well sort of but Buffalo didn’t have a MLB team and I became aware of the Orioles with Palmer, Robinson, Boog Powell and the World Series. It just stuck and I became a loyal fan when all my friends were Yankee fans.

    Thought it was unAmerican to have friends who are Yankee fans.

    Their stadiums nickname is named after a girls name. The house that Ruth built. Bunch of sissies.
