People can feel how they feel. I don’t know Roy, but I’m guessing his passion for the Orioles is so great, and his disdain for the Yankees so ingrained that the last thing he wants to see is us getting roughed up by our arch-rival. So maybe there’s some “expect the worst, hope for the best” sentiment in his post. I can relate to situations where expectations dictate the mood… I have no clue how things will play out, but I’ll be watching and rooting!

As an atheist…

My quip failed... I'm not worried about Burnes.

Only having to go back 34 years for some reassurance makes me feel better.

91–92 wins. The under would be hugely disappointing but the AL East is going to be brutal.

I wonder if there’s a prenup. Gotta be, right?

NSFW but it’s one of my favorite Burr standups

After a dream season where the O's went 35-18 in one-run games or games that went into extra innings, I'll take 22 over .500. Also, I think Bautista missing over an entire year will be impactful.

Built for the regular season. Hopefully Elias & Co take the next steps. The future is bright.

49ers QB Brock Purdy had UCL repair with InternalBrace. Here’a a summary comparing the two. I’m sure Bautista and his medical team will closely consider the best course for his circumstance. https://www.armoredheat.com/armored-heat-blog/tommy-john-vs-ucl-repair

Is a splitter any more stressful to the elbow than a fastball?

Hoping for our series streak to stay alive.

I think I just came

Astros fell asleep in their last two series against 100 loss teams. I expect them to be locked in for our arrival. I hate the matchup, they have disciplined hitting and Verlander is Verlander.

I will have ZERO mixed emotions if the Orioles hoist the trophy.

He DID kick a 63 yard field goal in high school.

We really don’t know that Bautista has the “exact same injury“ that you do.

Jesus with the comments, it’s as if this team can’t deal up a clunker. And we’re still gonna win.

Rooting for the guy, hoping he settles into a groove. He has the most effortless 103 mph fastball I've seen.

The tricolor hats with the oriole bird are simply the best.

The "Hall as closer" experiment is a

BRING IN THE MOUNTAIN!! (too soon?)

I'm sure this was a mutual decision by the team and player after all parties were aware of the situation and risks.
