I'll be shocked if they even start this game.

Possible vs Banking. All semantics

Fair enough. I personally didn't expect the O's to be in the mix for a WC spot. I was just hoping for interesting storylines, incremental improvement, and seeing top prospects get promoted and perform well. So much will need to go right for the O's to make the playoffs. But I'm enjoying the ride.

And how can you claim that "no one" could have thought that? Surely there were optimists who believed that the O's might shock all of the pundits. Again, unless you have some mind reading device that can tell you what Elias believed, you're just speculating. It's reasonable and informed speculation, but speculation still.

And you know Elias believe that ... how? Just because you don't think the team wasn't put together to win doesn't mean Elias didn't think that.

I'm hoping that Albert Belle can have a bounce back season

People often forget about Means (I know I do sometimes). Him coming back next season almost seems like a free agent signing.

Tony, thanks for your honesty, transparency and integrity. I can't imagine a better experience for O's fans who want to stay informed, communicate and collaborate. I know my dad loved reading (lurking) OH content before his passing in 2015. It was something that strengthened the bond between the two of us, and I will always be grateful for that.

The goal this year is to keep trying to score at least 1 more run than the opponent.

Should we start over?

I just keep telling myself... at least Melanie isn't Susyn Waldman

It would have been a wonderful moment, except for Melanie Newman botching the HR call

I love it when you hear a batter connect for a HR and Palmer says "Ohhhhhh"

Meh... they got the lead runner.

Or... Hyde is just too attached to Odor at 2B

Looking at all of the deals across the league, this seems like one of the most active trade deadlines that I can remember.

I'd prefer a MOO basher too.

Hey... the O's are actually buyers AND sellers!

I think I would have preferred a backup 1B

I'm pretty sure they didn't have to put him on the 40 and burn an option due to Covid vaccination policies?

He was a monster. So sorry that the NFL injury (on a routine running play!) completely derailed his career

I'm willing to give her a chance to grow. There are signs that she can be good, but she needs to stop trying to be sensational/memorable. Just be natural.

He was the best pure athlete that I have ever seen live.

This conversation between Palmer and Newman on Bo Jackson. Bo was crazy good. We went to a game at Memorial stadium, had LF bleacher seats. We were giving Bo the business all night. He hit a HR over the bleachers onto the back hill. He came back out to LF and we were totally silent in awe. I've never seen a player like Bo since.
