Rutschman-Cowser-Mayo In June that sounded formidable.

O’Hearn is as cold as a banshee’s wail.

I enjoy the name threads. No one remotely near me cares a fig about the O’s. I just watch and suffer (or celebrate) by myself. Except for the game thread. Sure there is some significant negativity that verges on trolling. But most of it is heat of the moment genuine anguish from obvious fans. As Frobby observes there is a lot of humor to serve as counterpoint. And also a lot of insight. Ok some of that insight is to alert that a particularly attractive person is getting shown on the broadcast.

He was confused by the O’s swinging at way worse before.

lol Kinley got suckered in by the horrendously bad at bats that he flew too close to the sun.

OMG. That was a farcically bad at bat by Jackson.

lol. They walk Mullins again!!

This team makes me aggro. I think it’s all the dark years, followed by the last two years. I have—what do the French call it?—expectations.

I am still playing that Cowser at bat in my head. Criswell: I do not F’ing want to pitch to you Cowser: oh yes you F’ing will!!!

Screw the injuries—it’s our studs (minus Santander) being duds that is sinking us.

OMG Cowser!!?? It’s time to grow up and put the big guy pants on.

The long reliever role stopped being a thing in MLB about the time that TikTok dropped.

Mother F.

Would be nice to draft a hitter playing like Halvorsen at the moment.

What are Santander’s at bats like? Exactly not like Holliday’s.

Soto, suave!

Peralta with ye ‘ol two out tie game bottom of the order walk. lol.

Eloy thrives on anti-hype.

One of the most deflating sequences in baseball is a relief pitcher coming in and walking a guy. Noone on either side is particularly happy.

Could easily be fixed with some ice, advil, and bourbon. We will see.

Our ballyhooed guys lose it, or have so far not found hit. Meanwhile rule 5 Santander is Mr. consistent: grinds out at bats, has some pop, and steadily improves his defense. Now he is having an epic year. Booya!

Tony is fire. He makes me happy.

That was disappointing.

It’s beginning to gell.

I don’t know. A really really good both seems way better…particularly in this age of the hyper specialized F1 athlete.
