How does this jive with your thumbs up remain positive nonsense?
I think the O's will finish at .500 or better. But I don't think the O's offense can get to Price when he is on his game, and I know Guthrie is prone to throwing gopher balls even when he is on.The glass is half full, is not synonymous with blind optimism.

Reynolds!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :smile11:

The O's score a run with Guts on the mound? :eektf:

Baseball is all about momentum. When you're down a few runs, it's extremely hard to turn the momentum around, get people feeling confident and able to get some hits. O's tend to lose most games where we get behind in the first couple of innings. But I think Reynolds' HR might have helped us turn the momentum back around on them. I hope. :)

    • Farewell to Ryan McKenna, claimed on waivers by the Giants after being DFA'd the other day. We all have followed his career since his great 2018 season at Frederick. Ryan Mountcastle,  Cedric Mullins, and Nick Vespi are now the three remaining members of the Orioles 2015 draft class still in the organization.
    • I can see Adley aging on the Posey curve. He probably has until age 35 before he will hang up the spikes/be a negative valued baseball player. IMO Adley's defense is average, he has a below average throwing arm. But his bat is excellent. And there is no arguing that his presence has made a tremendous impact since the very first day that he stepped onto a Major League field for the O's. Gunnar may not extend because of Boras and the same may turn out to be the case for Holliday. But that should not preclude us from locking up the other guys who prove to be special. Right now Adley is that IMO and Westburg appears to be working his way toward that. But even if we do not extend our own guys, we should bring in others who will sign and impact winning in a positive manner.  Again IMO, not spending and cutting cost is not the way to go for franchise viability/growth. Customers/fans are more informed than ever and have more entertainment options than ever. Your message to them cannot be come out to see the Orioles just because we are the Orioles or "Hey we will probably win more than we lose (like the Rays) but won't make any real efforts to seize opportunities (by spending) when they are there." San Diego doesn't have a problem with fan engagement/attendance even though they don't/haven't won big because they have captured the attention of that market and become relevant by signing star players. And showing their fanbase that they are invested. I am not saying that I want to be like the Padres, but I certainly want the O's to be/remain relevant in this market (like they are now). Every time I take my kids to games, they are excited to go (in particular my youngest). That is how you capture the next generation of O's fans - by being relevant. 3 years ago I couldn't get my kids to go to an Orioles game no matter what! Conversely, I have never had that issue with the Ravens. They've always wanted to attend their games (even practices/training camp).
    • I see Toronto has lost the first two to Tampa for a 3-game losing streak after John Schneider's emotional proclamation of a "big win for May 14th" Monday night. They were up 4-0 with Gausman heading into the 6th today, but....nope.
    • Perfect.   That's when my salmon/tuna poke bowl will arrive via Uber Eats.
    • I'm way too much a snob for Blink-182. I was honestly just about to post this on the music forum.   Apparently he's Czech.  I'm not finding links in English. Anyhoo working on a Peel Session Spotify playlist.
    • With a couple of exceptions it’s almost like the bottom of the draft was better than the top of the draft
