Let's see if Elias can pull off a Wei-Yin Chen and a Jason Hammel.
Folks do remember how the 2011 Orioles were supposed to be pretty decent right? After Buck showed up in 2010 and they went on that run?
Yes I do recall myself confidently projecting us to snap the losing streak in 2011 lol.

I remember folks here back in 2011 who thought we were still a long way away from contending.
Tony makes some very valid points, especially regarding the Angelos situation, but I just wanted to throw that out there.
Aside from injuries and Adley’s slow start, I’ve been encouraged by what I’ve seen on the field this season. Hope we can take another leap next season.

Kind of pissed that I missed his 3 hit outburst but not so pissed when I remind myself that I went to go see the new Top Gun movie and how awesome it was.
Maverick>Adley Rutschman
I saw it in 4DX. Moving seats, wind, mist, snow..
It was awesome

That's great, thanks. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Just finished it and I loved it! I can relate to your story a lot as a 20 something living in Northern VA (Warrenton) still looking to find my place at least in terms of work (Real estate is the latest place I'm looking). Of course I can relate to the intense love of the Orioles as well. The way you reminisce about the '97 team is a lot like how I reminisce about the '12 and '14 teams.

First game today in three years.Cut out three entrances, no special entrance for season ticket holders and only am hour before the game.No napkins and used to get a stat sheet from the club level press box. Woman there said keep cutting things, she better be quiet. Makes a bad fan experience.
The employees are just at the gate doing nothing since here early for the schoolkids
Yea I sorely miss the programs and Orioles magazines, which were also cut out.

We all know why that isn't going to happen.
Of course.

That’s interesting because I’d read the robo-umps hadn’t been that well received in the other leagues that have tried it.
I have worked with Trackman a lot and can tell you it has faults. Especially in terms of the north/south dimensions of the strike zone.
-
I'm also open to a compromise like allowing a team to challenge a B/S call maybe once a game, or have NY buzz in to change a crucial call.

If Umps just missed calls I might agree with you.
If they missed calls and were actively deceived by catchers I might agree with you.
But I've seen too many Umps be flat out unprofessional and call pitches based on some grudge against a player or to stoke their ego.
Get it as right as you can.
Limit the Umps ability to impact the game as much as possible.
I think the proper solution is to punish/demote the umps that we all know suck. (Bucknor, Diaz, Hernandez, etc.)

Hate this. Sacrilege.
not everything has to be perfect and btw, it won’t be lol.
-
I'm firmly against an automated zone. #1 reason being that catcher presentation/framing is an integral part of what makes a good catcher. Some catchers have made a living off of that skill.

I’m toying with attending Tuesday’s game even though it appears Fenter, not Rodriguez, will start that game. Anyone else thinking of going to either game?
Not sure if it’s been announced, but G Rod will start Wednesday.

Yea I think Akron has the better team at this point but anything can happen in a 5 game series. Especially with Bowie hosting the first two.
Also I believe they match up better with Akron than they do Somerset.

Neustrom on one corner. Stowers in the other. I guess Zach Jarrett mans CF and Yusniel Diaz who still hasn't gotten untracked either goes to DH or some fate even worse than that. Who goes to make room for Stowers?
Also, does this cause a chain reaction at Bowie and Aberdeen? Someone like Turchin back up to Bowie and Cowser up to Aberdeen?
Bowie may be covered in the outfield between Welk (who has been playing some LF), Watson, Rizer, and Fontana. Oh and Vavra who has been playing 2nd since his return but can play OF as well.
