No, I am just saying that you and others are crying over nothing.

And of course they changed it and said something...that had to pacify the overly sensitive.

You are very much pro Ravens organization. Understandably so, but call a spade a spade. Poor community post, someone higher up saw it, made decision to gank it. Should never have been posted. It's over because they rightfully did right.

I do not need to call it anything because it was no big deal.

You guys need to take the speedos off and take a little ribbing. It was not even that bad.

Between friends? Sure. Organizations in same town on Opening Day? No. Just classless. Superior saw it as so and made right.

People can love the Ravens all they want, and I do. But I'll call a spade a spade.

If there wasn't a vocal subset of the Ravens fanbase who are actively dismissive of the Orioles, you and SG might be right. Unfortunately, it makes them sound like they want those fans more than ones who want to be fans of both teams, and those of us in the latter group need to choose.

That's not a good idea for any organization. That's why they withdrew the post and apologized. If it "wasn't that bad" or otherwise didn't matter, so few people would have complained that they wouldn't have taken notice.

Rep to you.

PR personnel for each NFL team are hired by the NFL and get hired by the team's PR staff after being assigned to the candidate pool.

They are sorry anyone was offended as it wasn't their intent to offend Orioles fans. Most of whom are Ravens fans as well.

The person who made the post isn't even a sports fan.

They had to apologize because of the whiners. If people took it for what it is they wouldnt have felt obligated to change it.

Haha, you really are a piece of work sometimes. Some Ravens employee, probably a young inexperience intern, made a mistake. It was in poor taste and the Ravens rightfully jumped in and apologized. They didn't do this to pacify the "overly sensitive, they did it because the organization is classy and once some in authority saw the ill-defined post they immediately took action.

It was a classless post, but that doesn't make the organization classless. It meant they need to make sure their people who update the facebook page are a little more mature and experienced in public relations. The organization corrected a wrong and I applaud them for it.

Why, because I don't agree with YOU? LOL

And yes, its classless to the overly sensitive. I stand by that.

Tony, I'm surprised by your response. I would've guessed you would have been in the "people need to have thicker skin boat".

So 20 years pass and Trent Differ is throwing out the first Pass. No Super Bowls since. No playoffs at all for 8 years. This Post would be ok if the Orioles have Won a recent World Series on the day of the Raven's home opener? A photo of Camden Yards? I think the situation was handled correctly and the normally classy Ravens organization corrected a Faux Pas.

      Not Tony, but he’s going to start out on one of the DSL teams again.  Was hoping maybe he’d start at FCL. Maybe he lights up DSL and only has a short stay in the Dominican?

      He's accepted an option before when he was struggling iirc, but they can't just option him, he has to agree and he probably would, he's always been a team guy. Nothing changes with his pay.

      I don’t disagree. You could make a lot of cases for or against acceptable production (or lack thereof) based of player level and respective age. I simply don’t think this player is a must keep as many are insinuating. Luckily we’re all just armchair GMs and can hazard guesses and opinions all day long without real repercussion.

      In September, we'll look back at this as the low point of the season. I'm watching the A's and Rockies in the 12th inning right now and these are some bad offenses.   Although - there are several Oakland pitchers I would love to have in the Baltimore bull pen.

      Well I didn’t realize that.  I just read he had options.  I would at least say look if he agrees to go down he will at least play.  I don’t know what his pay structure is if he chooses to be optioned.  If it results in a pay cut then I wouldn’t do it in that case.

      @Tony-OH do we know anything about why Liranzo hasn’t played in a game at an affiliate this season? I haven’t seen anything indicating that he is injured. If Liranzo is not injured, it seems odd that he wouldn’t be playing given the positive press he has received here and elsewhere.

      Baumann traded for Blake Hunt

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Big kid for a catcher. Has pop, stance reminds me a little of O’Hearn. No idea how he is defensively but this guy looks to be every part of a backup catcher someday until Basallo makes his way through the minors. Excellent trade for both teams.
