The sports media are a strange mix of stupid, lazy, worthless, ineffective, and sycophantic. Even when they try to ask grilling questions they're either asking the wrong guy or the wrong question, with the exception of Jim Rome sticking it to David Stern.

EDIT: What I said above had nothing to do with the question he was asked I'm just saying I hate sports reporters in general. Harper is a Mormon? That's hilarious.

I'm so #$&%ing jealous. Seriously. I wish this kid were playing for us....but nope. The Orioles can't even lose right.

Dude, buck up. It takes courage to be optimistic. We're one game out of first more at about 40% of the season.

What a crazy question. If we were playing a game in the Netherlands would they ask him to give his favorite weed? Or if he had AAA in Nevada would they ask him who his favorite girl at the "Bunny Ranch" was? This question if answered would just give him grief.

A truly clown question.

You know I was thinking about this some more and, I don't know, I think he responded like a douchebag.

The question was meant innocently enough, he could've responded with some tact. Yes we know Bryce, you're a super cereal person, no fun allowed.

He answered like a douchebag because he is a douchebag. OK, he's young, but that's really only about 10% of the reason for his crap. Sure it's a goofy question. Harper could have left it with "I'm not going to answer that question" but he had to go out of his way to mock the guy. He'll destroy a clubhouse eventually.

I think he could have responded better. Dumb question, sure. But just laugh it off and say something like no comment or maybe name an non-alcoholic product like Coke or something in jest. Or maybe even name a beer. It's not against the law up there. I was drinking legally in Central Europe while I was still technically under-aged in the US.

What are the odds of him going on a mission like Guts did?

    • I'll be surprised if it's not that trio with either Kremer or Gibson as the 4th starter if the Orioles need one during the playoffs. It's terrible Means was gone for nearly 1.5 years, but the plus side is his arm should be fresh.
    • If the Orioles can't get a good return and Norby doesn't win a job next spring, the odds may go up that he takes over in left in 2025 if the Orioles aren't going to pay both Hays and Mullins, or maybe neither.
    • 4 Ks and missed 6 bats. I missed the game tonight and it looks like he pitched well and he is certainly 3rd in the pecking order right now (which speaks to the staff more than anything) but I don’t have confidence in him vs top offenses if he can’t miss bats and strike guys out.
    • I think Kremer will be in the pen for the playoffs.   I think he can be a weapon out of the bullpen for us this year. Next year I imagine he will pitch in the rotation and continue to improve.  I see this guy pitching in MLB for a long time.  He has the drive and desire to be great.  He improves and adapts as he goes along.     I think they need to try and add and impact starter in the off-seasons and push competition.  I’d like to see two impact relief arms as well.     I’m not in the “the sky is falling” camp right now, but the last few weeks have shown the importance of high quality depth.  You can’t have too much talent. 
    • I bought tickets from the Birdland members presale. My wife and I have a 13-game plan. When it said you could only buy one set of tickets per series, I assumed that meant one pair for the Wild Card Series, one for the ALDS, and one for the ALCS. But I'm seeing people online say that they bought tickets for two games in the ALDS and one for the ALCS. I didn't realize that I could distribute my three games any way I wanted. Now I'm annoyed that I wasted tickets on two series that might not happen at all.
    • The Orioles have one more loss at home than on the road. So I would say about the same. The Rays on the other hand are .663 at home (53-27) vs. .553 on the road (42-34). The Orioles have Bradish and GRod going against the Nationals, at home, after a day off. They should win those games. If they win tomorrow, too, the deed would be nearly done by Wed. Winning tomorrow is not essential, they would be still in good shape with a loss. But it would help to avoid going deep into the week to resolve this.
