It appears the ump really wants this game to be over... he's starting to call strikes 6 inches off the plate. :rolleyes:

Okay, I digress...this ump blows! He's calling pitches at LEAST 6 inches off the plate...ridiculous!!!

I was computerless for a bit, but I'll say that the games against this CSMF-ing team are always the most frustrating games of the year. We hate Pink Hat Nation, but that doesn't hold a farking candle to the MFY games. I am so GD tired of the totally inept corner infield defense. That's cost, what, three, four runs tonight? I guess I was spoiled with this team growing up in the defensive department. Even though they didn't make the playoffs most of the time, they could field some damned batted balls. Naturally the defensive ineptitude is often compounded by offensive ineptitude from the same players! It's about damned well unwatchable!

Then the random downpour which OF COURSE comes in the MFY half of the inning, rendering Oriole pitchers unable to throw strikes, while the umpires watch. Any time rain strikes in an Orioles-MFY game, it's as if, in the case when delays actually happen, the umpires just wait for the MFYs to do their thing before taking any action. It makes me bloody sick.

Then the obligatory Oriole batting almosts, followed by an equally obligatory home run from very certain MFY T/D-Bags, and those are almost never solo shots. Then the heart-rending defensive play(s). I hate these A-holes just as much as I do the Mets and Pirates. I hate them so much, I just want to drop-kick them in their faces every time I see them. AAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

Can this almost comeback actually materialize? It would be a nice change!

      Cedric en fuego!!

      In terms of energy?   e = 1/2 mv^2 football: 60 mph -> 26.8 m/s, 14.5 oz = .411 kg.  1/2 * (26.8^2) * .411 = 147.5 joules. baseball: 102 mph -> 45.59 m/s, 5 oz = .142 kg.  1/2 * (45.59^2) * .142 = 147.5 joules.   I don't think they're 100% equivalent - I think the higher raw speed on the arm of a 102 mph pitch introduces more stress on the arm than a 60 mph football throw.  But they're not that far off.

      There is no chance that over 60 mph for a QB is the equivalent of 102.  QBs do not train for velocity like pitchers do.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 25 Nuggets · Posted

      I would prefer they ask for Jon Gray in spite of the Orioles destroying him in his last start - he wouldn't have to face the Orioles lineup again.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      He makes $43 million this year. The Mets are paying $21 million of that. I don’t think we pick up the remaining $10+ post deadline for 10-12 starts. It would just depend on what Texas would ask for to pick up the tab.

      Luis Robert

      Haynie on 105.7, has been beating the Luis Robert drum for months on the O’s pre game show. So I think that’s why people like the idea of Robert. Robert also is always hurt.  We need a bat. Probably a RH bat to DH in the playoffs versus a LH SP. That bat is Mayo. It’s just hard to get Mayo up before September when we get the extra roster spot.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.

      This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
