I get so antsy on the day after an off day

I have to say it - I hate off days. And as hard as it is to get through that day without going stir crazy, by the time the next afternoon rolls around (i.e., right now), I almost can't stand it any more.

Baseball is my drug, and I need my fix. NOW.

P.S. -- Don't even talk to me about the offseason.

Monday off days are the worst.

No baseball from Sunday afternoon to Tuesday night. Ahhhh !

Well, we were treated to the Yankees, the Red Sox, and the D-Rays all losing yesterday, even though our beloved Orioles were not on the playing field themselves. :)

I agree!!! It's hard to take Monday days off...this monday was even worse because my son didn't even have a game to distract me for a little while...Off days suck but I GUESS we need them :)

I resemble this remark.

The Orioles have fans as far west as Colorado, as for north as Canada, and as far south as ........ as South Baltimore. We're America's team !!! :laughlol:

Well Frank, TECHNICALLY there is no off day. We had a game on Sunday against the Royals, and we have a game on Monday against the Athletics. But, come on. Who are we kidding ??? Today's game was an afternoon game ....... an EARLY afternoon game, that started at 12:35 PM. Tomorrow, the game doesn't start until 10:05 PM (Eastern Time). That means no game tonight, no game tomorrow afternoon, and no game tomorrow at 7:05, or even 8:05 for that matter. Frank, youuuuuuu is gonna be Jonesing !!! :laughlol: :)

I had to work today, but was able to watch the replay on MASN. Thankfully on the off day last Monday I was at the Philly game checking out the stadium. They have some cool things going on up there, but nothing that's earth shattering. All in all it reminded me of what Nats Park should be like.

    • More likely than in 2023, when they won 101?
    • Winning 101 is hard, so I guess not.
    • Yeah but if we win 101, chances are we’ll have fixed some problems and will be more likely to win some playoff games.
    • When did I make them a mutually exclusive thing? I've said all along that I think Elias has done a great job rebuilding this organization. I've never once not agreed with that statement.  I'm not a fan of Elias's draft strategy of basically ignoring pitching until later rounds nor am I fan of their pitching development under him, particularly the babying of their minor league pitchers with very low pitch counts. Again, I never said Elias has failed, I said his drafting philosophy has failed after the 1st round. Elias has done a remarkable job drafting in the 1st round, particularly with his top 5 picks, but I've shown many times over, his college bat philosophy has largely been a failure outside of the 1st round.  Now, the jury is still out on whether Elias has successfully fully rebuilt this franchise because he's yet to win a playoff game. Not a series, a game. Not a single playoff game win. Duquette won more playoffs games in his first full season as GM then Elias has ever won as a GM. Those are just facts.  Now I appreciate what Elias done and the fact that the International scouting under Kobe Perez is starting to look like it will start bearing fruit, that's a huge win too. But the fact remains that Elias has yet to win a single playoff game and after drafting mostly hitters in his first 5 rounds since 2019, his offense scored one run in two playoffs games as they were embarrassingly swept by the Royals and that was after an embarrassingly sub .500 second half where his offense took a nosedive. All of those college hitters taken since 2019 and how many were in the Orioles starting lineup in the playoffs? Three, Rutschman, Westburg and Cowser.  The two starters he used in the Royals series were acquired by needing to send a 1st round (Hall) and 2nd round (Baumeister) pitcher as parts of the deals. So what we know is that Elias has shown the ability to have his team be competitive for the playoffs the last two years, but now has only Eflin left of the two starters, and his team looking a lot more like the Blue Jays (With all their young hitting talent and no playoff wins) than a team ready to win a World Series.  
    • Nothings ever easy with you is it 
    • I'd rather win some playoff games.
