Caleb can call a game. One of those severely undervalued guys. I like him a lot. 

Did Weiters re-sign longterm? I'd be cool to let him go. Overrated to me.

He signed the 1 year, $15M QO. I don't think we wanted him to accept, but he did, so now we have him for 1 more year.

That O'Day chant last night was good, don't know whether I have just never heard it or if it is a new one.

You just never heard it.  There was even a shirt with it on last year.

[OriolesMagicPlease]

The Good Ubaldo came out to play!

[Moderator 3]

Turns out the shirts were from 2014.

Okay now Orioles 

[Cville-Raven]

If our starting pitching can be okay to decent, this team should win plenty of games.

yeah, look at the top 3

Thats Total Payroll..Not this year the spent. Red Sox And Yankees are combined over 4 year salary. Look how many players Orioles resigned look how many free agents they signed. What has the Yankees done this off season? Right zippo nothing.

Alright first off off your post says "Spend" not "spent in FA" and yeah, Aroldis chapman and starlin Castro are definitely nothing. One of which being the highest paid relief pitcher in baseball. These are still huge acquisitions regardless of whether they were signed in FA.  Also lets not forget the Red sox signed David price to a 217 million dollar contract which would never happen here. The fact that you suggest Buck should be fired because the O's are spending more than other teams that actually outspend them is ridiculous.

Damn this weather.  We were on a roll and now we get rained/snowed out.  Hope it doesn't mess us all up.  Mike Wright was going to start and practically his entire family came in for this game.  Sad.

No.  Postponed until a later date.  Rays will be back in June.  Probably do it then.

Could someone tell me what does this have to do with O's? Looks like off topic. 

[Cville-Raven]

looks like Kim isn't going to be playing anytime soon, maybe give him a pinch hitting opportunity if we run up the score

Correct.  PM exists for a reason.  Take it there.

[Steve0x]

Can we trade Adam Jones for pitching? We found another Center fielder and thats Joey Rickard.  I say Adam Jones to the Mets for Jacob deGrom And Gabriel Ynoa From AA Bing.

I'm sure the Mets would just be willing to give up one of the best pitchers in the league for a 30 year old outfielder...

Not to mention their outfield is perfectly fine.

But Mets lost a Big hitter to free agency. They lost Murphy. He went to the Nats

[JO_75]

A win over the Rays moves them to a MLB Best 5-0 as the Orioles remain the only MLB team undefeated. Incredible way to start the season. 

Fun Fact: This is the third time in Orioles history that they have started out 5-0, and first time they have done this since 1970. Oh by the way.... We won the World Series in 1970.

I don't watch baseball, but it seems that this 5-0 start is suprising given how they seemed to play in spring training
