Hope this is finally the year they have a bad record but knowing them it wouldn't surprise me if they contend.

It sounds like you are waiting for a Yankees collapse.

But while the Yankees have not "collapsed", I think that they have declined.

The Yankees collapsed in 1989, after having had 6 consecutive winnings seasons from 1983-1988. They proceeded to have 4 consecutive losing seasons from 1989 through 1992 before George Steinbrenner was kicked out of baseball for two years, which allowed Gene Michael and Buck Showalter to rebuild the franchise back into contenders.

The Yankees went 85-77 in 2013, 84-78 in 2014, and 87-75 in 2015. They did not make the postseason in 2 out of 3 of those seasons, and they got KO'd in 1 game by the Astros in the one season in which they did make the playoffs. Subsequently, I think that an argument can be made that the Yankees have been declining already. The question is, will that decline continue in 2016 ???

Thank god. Their fan base needs to be humbled by a losing season. That and we need to say this to Yankee fans. If any of you guys won't do it' date=' I'll do it.

Yes I am. I want them to have a horrible season. I'd love to see it so bad! All the money buying nothing but a losing season, all the yankee fans leaving the stadium sparse (though that would probably take a few years unfortunately). I want them be completely insignificant for at least a season.

I want MY team to spend money on players. If the team has it better it's spent on the players to give their fans a winner. It absolutely makes me nuts that the Orioles spent less 100M a few years ago, yet came up almost 150 this year. Makes me think ownership/ Angleos has made tankers full of money, and so much at the expense of a better Orioles team. THat pisses me off. So I don't begrudge them from spending what they earn. Better product for baseball and less money for the Steinbrenner family.

Yankees have had 3 down years according to another poster. 3 winning seasons and a playoff appearance, Brief. So did we. Same sport, same league, same result. It can't be bad for them and good for us.

I just can't see a world where you can count on Tex and A-Rod for another year. Ellsbury is bound to get hurt. Sorry I don't buy it

Hasn't this been said the last 5-6 years? I'll believe it when I see it. They've posted a winning record every season since 1995.

The Orioles are not your team.

You bleed about as much orange and black as Earl Weaver bled pinstripe blue.

Watching an aging, overpaid, underachieving team win between 83 and 88 games and miss the playoffs and/or get KO'd from the playoffs in one game is almost as good as watching them have a losing season.

Why are people talking about the Yankees in an Orioles' thread? :confused::mad:

Inferiority complex.

Doubtful Yankee fans have any feelings towards the O's.

They do. They're happy we don't suck anymore, and if anyone is going to beat them, better it be the guys who didn't win for a while than Boston or Tampa.

      4/9 Move(s)

      I just don’t get how we can send down our MVP, Valaika, and still expect to win games?!?!

      No of course you don’t...but he believes himself to be.  It’s part of the whole thing you were talking about.

      I actually found it quite entertaining. To each their own I guess.

      DJ Stewart brings his "imperfect" game to a team that needs him

      By wildcard · Posted

      It is widely expected that DJ Stewart will be activated for the Injured List today.  What does you bring and how can he help? He brings experience.  In DJ's pro career he has played  527 games in the outfield corners.   Ryan Mountcastle has played 55  games in the outfield in the minors and the majors.   DJ's  outfield experience has not always been perfect.  He is known for some spectacular misplays.   But he has average speed,  average range and an average left fielder's arm.   HIs overall outfield defensive game should be a improvement over Mountcastle and should move Ryan to DH more often than not if Brandon Hyde takes advantage for the assets he is given. Stewart offensive game is a low average with power and the ability to work a walk that has netted him a 224/334/433/768 split in 301 major league plate appearances.   His left-handed bat should be additive to the O's lineup.    How long will you stay may depend on how he does and whether Austin Hays hamstring heals fast or lingers.   If Stewart does well he will give the Hyde a reason to go from 14 pitchers to 13 when Hays returns.    Injuries have been a problem for Stewart but over the last 3 years he has played in 77% of his teams game.  That is about the same as Santander. Much better than Hays 59% or Diaz 64% but not close to Mullins 93%. Good Luck DJ.  I hope you are at the top of your game because the O's could use that player.

      Personally I find it more constructive and rewarding to riff on the idea of a developmental system and service time manipulation for announcers than I do wildly speculating about what the guy who says names out loud could have possibly done to get himself escorted out of the gates.

      My supposition is he did something the team found unacceptable very recently.   I’m sure they didn’t like the timing at all.

      Orioles set strikeout record

      By Frobby · Posted

      Let’s look at the six main culprits so far: 1.   Ryan Mountcastle, 11 K’s in 30 PA (36.7%).  21.4% last year. 2.  Trey Mancini, 11 K’s in 31 PA (35.5%).  21.1% in 2019. 3.   Rio Ruiz, 10 K’s in 25 PA (40%). 22.5% last year. 4.  Freddy Galvis, 10 K’s in 29 PA (34.5%).   18.9% last year,. 5.  Pedro Severino, 9 K’s in 23 PA (39.1%).    22.5% last year. 6.  Anthony Santander, 9 K’s in 27 PA (33.3%).   15.2% last year. I’m fairly sure all those are coming down substantially.   The one that worries me most is Mancini, for obvious reasons.
