Before the WM, we had the same type of posts. "Wait until the WM..." Now, it's "The WM are over, no big deal...just wait until _______________." We just keep ignoring the current milestones of inaction and waiting for the next, expecting things to somehow change.

If Bedard and Tejada are both on this team for Opening Day that's when I'll be upset. I'm sure we'd like to have got something done at the Winter Meetings, but it didn't happen. I'm not going to sit around and cry because we didn't accept the first offer that came are way.

I find this to be very pathetic for a person in his position with the amt of work he has to do.
What the hell is the difference what time he usually goes to sleep?

He clearly was putting in the hours at the meetings when he needed to. If he usually goes to bed at 10pm is that a problem? Probably means he's awake and at the office ready to rock by 6am.

Thats true. How many games above .500 that year again? I should have been more specific. Every year we do nothing to improve this team.

So I guess you didn't think that the moves we made in 2004 improved the club? It's easy to look back and say that now isn't it?

I'm not saying I will either. But, when AM seemed to hold the WM as an important deadline and accomplish nothing, I'm sure not excited either. Nothing this team could do would really disappoint me at this point b/c I expect basically nothing. I expected nothing at the WM, and that's what I got. We love to maintain Status Quo, and then blame it on the market.

"Crabcakes and 4th place! That's what Maryland does."

If you expected nothing to be done at the WM what are you so upset about?

We always walk away.

Seriously, i hate this team. If they come back next year with basically the same team, i may just be done with them.

No you will not. We will all be supporting the team like we always have. The players try to win even if the owner could care less

Seconded. As long as he works effeciently and effectively and has a reliable staff, he shouldn't be working ridiculous hours.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
