The RISE of the Baltimore Orioles | A Timeline on the O’s OUTSTANDING Rebuild

[@SoulSeeker28]

As a lifelong Os fan, it's been rough for a long time. To see what we are now almost seems like a dream. Birdland forever!

[@marklambert7515]

Jus wait til they can't resign all these young studs😮

[@joethompson79]

True, but they have a line of even more young guys waiting in the wings. ​@@marklambert7515

[@NoMorePodDes]

How crazy is it!? Let’s go o’s!

[@yahcrack]

@@marklambert7515 Gunnar, adley, mountcastle are the priorities they’re the center pieces

[@michaelmullin6702]

​@marklambert7515 don't know what this ownee is capable of. Also most of their young guys are locked up for 4-6 years

[@billykl2790]

Mike Elias has been the best move the old crappy owner has ever made

[@scottbiaggi3999]

Tied with Brandon I Think, Go Birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@94Auburn]

Hard to take this video too seriously when he can’t pronounce Elias correctly.

[@warrenward6294]

Gunnar Henderson might just be the best player in baseball right now. He's a threat to knock it out of the park every time he's at bat. Even if he doesn't he's a threat to Rob you of all your bases when he's on, or score from first base if a ball makes it to the wall. He'll pluck line drives out of the air by jumping 4 feet off the ground. He'll run from the infield all the way to the plate or the side/back walls to catch a pop up. He does literally everything, and he does it well. It's so refreshing to see a player on this team that genuinely wants to make every single play in the game. Adley's the young leader, and he deserves to be. But gunnar's the star

[@williamdunlapwaxnews]

He is definitely a stud.

[@bigdadddyd123]

[@JohnGaltGurgi]

The Yankees wont even know who the Red Sox are after the Orioles mash them for the next half decade. Who is your daddy now?

[@Aspecsinc]

That Jimenez pitch had me turn the tv off before the ball even left the field. Stared at a black tv for 5 minutes after that contemplating life.

[@declansdad]

That was tough to watch for sure!

[@papagrantits]

It broke my heart.

[@brianbrandt1775]

Agreed, brother.... it was hard to watch. It was when I was convinced Buck had to go. I feel we wasted a stacked team during that time

[@charlesflinnill978]

That was sickening and they still didn't fire Buck.

[@kennykotwas3654]

Nice summary. Thanks! Quick note, it was actually Tylers Wells who is getting UCL surgery along with John Means, not Dean Kramer. Also, the B in Danny Coulombe is silent :-)

[@7JCDiva]

as a longtime Orioles fan, looking back at some of those painful years makes what is happening now so wonderful...I hope we do great this postseason and may we win it all!!!...great video btw...Go O's!!!

[@AndItsGone]

it’s the best feeling in the world to see a basement dweller team you’ve been rooting for finally have success

[@falsumit]

It's hard to overstate how important JJ Hardy and Adley are to the Orioles. Hardy was the steady veteran presence that allowed Machado and Schoop to flourish, and Adley is Adley. It's not a coicidence that the O's won with these two on their respective rosters and lost without them.

[@MadKingLordeus]

Not JJ Hardy, although he was good. It was Weiters who had us winning. He managed an awful pitching staff and kept them competing, much like Rutschman has and will as long as he is here.

[@Hettepop]

Dean Kremer has not had TJ surgery.. had a setback, yes but he’s hopefully back soon. It’s Means who just had the second surgery and Tyler Wells who is due to have surgery at any time. He could have been a valuable swing man this year. The Orioles pitching and development staff did a remarkable job finding Albert Suarez, who made his first major league appearance in 7 years and has turned into a valuable spot starter/. 0:06 0:06 reliever. Jordan Westburg is another infield prospect who is shining in the big league spotlight right now.

[@Hettepop]

and we have yet to see what Connor Norby can do at the big league level.

[@andrewstewart7231]

Jj hardy was a slow payoff but still not as costly as chris davis. I believe davis was the biggest mistake of all. Adam jones was their best player. Their pitching was always alright, but not great.

[@Justin-yv9nv]

Using the New Day sound from Majoras Mask when showing the records each year was a genius touch

[@JBullyy]

I went to school in Baltimore in 2017 and I’d get $7 tickets for student night all the time and end up by 3rd base by the 4th inning. Even tho I’m a Yankees fan it’s nice to see.

[@JoshuaR.Collins]

as an o's fan, its been great to see them doing so well again. It was really sad to see our sweep less streak end back in may against the cardinals, but hey we are now tied for second in the longest regular season sweep less streak at 106. Hopefully we will get back up there

[@CanadaMMA]

I had someone say to me yesterday "Oh, but they aren't going to be able to afford them all when they become free-agents." A lot of these guys are still pre arbitration. The O's aren't going to have to worry about that for like 5 years. They are going to be good for awhile.

[@MadKingLordeus]

The Orioles aren't handicapped financially. They can spend with anybody if they want to, and the Angelos regime is finally gone. People forget the Orioles had the highest payroll in all of baseball early in the Angelos era before the insured Belle contract he didn't have to pay off turned him off until Chris Davis, who put the final nail in that coffin.

[@alexbarnett2625]

Well, the new owner now is automatically the 3rd richest owner in baseball...we will see if he spends like it though

[@LancerJak]

Generational talent at catching and shortstop. Incredible.

[@AndItsGone]

do y’all prefer this music or the music i normally do?

[@shawnyganggang6581]

Meh, kinda forget that the music is there since it's easy to get lost into your awesome videos. So, I don't think it really matters. Just continue doing what you do. Btw, Mike Elias's name is pronounced E-lie-us, not El-e-us. Just a small nitpicking. But you still make amazingly entertaining and intriguing videos.

[@JoelOswald]

I think it's a nice touch, so it's not just you talking into a microphone over a clip.

[@EverettSarin]

Great video man

[@jonathanmartin3767]

Im a Cleveland fan, and it is good to see the Os doing so well now. Cleveland has been building through there system pretty much forever, and this year it is clicking so far. I want to see the Os win the East so bad.

[@aunch3]

Westberg, Gunnar, Cowser, Anthony Adley. I’m not and Orioles fan but this year they’re fun to watch

[@hostiletoxictomdowneyburne6469]

Lifelong O's fan. What an age to be alive.

[@BareArms8]

Orioles should lock up Mike Elias before any player

[@94Auburn]

Dean Kremer out with Tommy John??? Good grief no.

[@Lithixleo342]

As a Mariners fan who’s mom grew up a o’s fan it’s nice to see how far the orioles have come from their losing seasons if it wasn’t for the Yankees the orioles would be the best team in the AL

[@kengruz669]

That'll change very shortly. Stay tuned.

[@MadKingLordeus]

While spending like 10-15% for their similar talent.

[@alexbarnett2625]

The O's are much better than the Yankees

[@dcb92288]

Yeah we'll finish above the Yanks. Its a long season. We were in 2nd for most of last year, then pipped Tampa for the spot after the All-Star break and never looked back. We have an insane amount of depth that shows over a 162 game season. Just need the bullpen to not blow so many games.😢

[@kevincapps7694]

Did the Braves not recently win a World Series thru a rebuild?

[@CodeDeb]

Great video! 👏 A good catchup for me on the years where I was a “resting” fan lol. Nice to see how the exciting team of today was built! 🙌

[@Jack922lll]

Nice to see a thorough rebuild work out so nicely.

[@djsevens2576]

The orioles are the team I thought the jays were going too be but management cares more about stadium cosmetics then competing in the toughest division in baseball! Would love to see a video about that!

[@robwasilewski9273]

Amazing young team.

[@PinkPiglet03]

man iove our guys. but is the damn pitching injury bug killing us. Well, Means, and Bradish out until next season and Coulombe out until hopefully September. i think we need to go for another starter imo. Suarez and Povich need to bring their pitch count down drastically and hopefully theyll be good in the long run.

[@jmoneymaker96]

As a royals fan this makes me jealous, other than bobby witt jr, and brady singer, the royals have not done well in terms of prosepct development. All thhese bad years yet still have a weaker farm system. What's the trick to this scouting and development?

[@jordankendall2705]

As much as the fans complain about the bullpen, including myself, it's still the fourth best in the majors. We just have so many guys that are hot or cold and it's clear how much we relied on Bautista last year. We've also been hurt a lot more with the injury bug this year, especially among the starters. Our offense has a lot of firepower, but when it goes cold, it goes really cold.

[@AndItsGone]

yup that happens to every team over the long season. but the Os should have the depth to minimize the valleys

[@MadKingLordeus]

​@@AndItsGoneand they absolutely do minimize them. Since Rutschman's promotion to the big leagues, the Orioles have been swept just twice (once in the postseason last year to the eventual champs), so they really haven't had any extended slumps or struggles as a team, at all.

[@WiffGiff]

Stop with showing the statistics of your channel. It just shows you have a lot of reach to actual users. If it was the other way around it would be worrying and sign of a decline of your channel.

[@ChubsrealYT]

I thought that they drafted Daley Rutschmann in 2016?

[@degenscoobydoo]

this is hilarious. literally the textbook is Elias’ Astros. dumb title.

[@AndItsGone]

the astros had a ton of top picks that never ended up working out, the orioles rebuild was cleaner in my opinion, but i'll admit both were impressive.

[@degenscoobydoo]

@@AndItsGone sorry to be a dick.

[@AndItsGone]

@@degenscoobydoo its cool, ive seen way worse

[@alexjessop5330]

The tank for a long time. 6 years. The farm and prospects finally caught up.

[@MadKingLordeus]

2016 wasn't a tank year. Not even 2017 or 2018...They definitely had playoff aspirations and lost 115 games that year. The short run of success ended when they let Weiters go and their suspect pitching staff was decimated by mediocre game callers behind the plate. Letting Matt go to the Nats cost us at least 25 wins. If you were to say they tanked, they did so from 2019-21. The rebuild was remarkably short considering it was a complete overhaul from the bottom to the top.

[@alexbarnett2625]

"I know nothing about baseball" - You

[@yahcrack]

Did they tank or just sucked?

[@MadKingLordeus]

@yahcrack They definitely just sucked from 2016-2018. I would accept 2019-2023 as tanking and they won 100 games the last year of that stretch.

Henderson was taken 42nd overall. Whatever bozos you root for had a shot at him. Ditto Westburg at 30th overall. Coby Mayo looks like a potential star and was taken 4th round #103. TLDR: you’re repeating a lazy narrative and have no idea what you’re talking about.

But in closing "How Bout Dem O's"!!!

[@jordanmessec5332]

You acknowledge it at the beginning, but the biggest thing holding baseball back now after the rule changes (which were awesome) is payroll. Those teams that spend 3x as much are simply going to do better on the average.

LMAO 😂 wish they would’ve signed Imanaga? Yea say that after his start. Bet you weren’t saying that 3 months ago

[@AndItsGone]

wrong. the point of that bit was to emphasize that they needed another middle of the rotation starter. otherwise why would i have said Jordan Montgomery and his 6+ ERA?

[@happysqWid]

@HouDeani I'm always surprised when people like you so confidently let everyone know you don't know what you're talking about. Iminaga was the top free agent behind Shohei this past off season. Every team in the league wished they could sign him.

[@tonyr.3435]

I need to send this link to Jerry DiBoto, GM of the Mariners. Hopefully he'll learn how to recognize and draft players that can actually hit the damn ball. Yes we're in first in our division, until the Rangers get Scherzer and Degrom back and the Astros can stop injuring themselves. We had a couple hitters last year on the team that had power and could drive in runs, Suarez and Teoscar Hernandez, Diboto cant have guys that drive in runs striking out too much, get rid of them, replace with nobody and are now #1 in MLB In striking out and only three teams, the last place WhiteSox and Marlins, and the Cardinals have scored fewer runs than the M's. Thats some beautiful vision right there. Oh yeah, and there isnt any offensive help on the way from the farm system.

[@benluecken2839]

Bro what? You do realize the Mariners have one of the best farm systems in baseball right now and pretty much all of their top prospects are offensive players, right? Baseball America recently updated their Top 100 list, and they had 7 Mariners in there, which is tied for the most among every team in the MLB, and 6 of those guys are offensive players. That list doesn't even include Felnin Celesten who will definitely be there by the end of the season as well. So what do you mean "there isn't any help on the way from the farm"? You have no clue what you're talking about lmao. Also, his name is Dipoto, not Diboto lol
