I would rather face the Yanks in a one and done then the Rays right now.

So would I. Also, I would also rather have the Rays to win the division instead of the Yankees (unless of course WE won it.)

I've said on numerous occasions, I always, in this order.

A. Root for the Orioles

B. Root against the Yankees

C. Root against the Red Sox

D. Root for the White Sox (my second favorite team).

I always do that for the first 5 and-a-half months of the season.

THEN ...... in the final 2 weeks of the season, if it so happens to increase the Orioles' playoff chances to have the Yankees or the Red Sox win games, THEN AND ONLY THEN will I begrudgingly root for them (the Yankees and the Red Sox) to win.

Too much can happen to change things in the first 24 weeks of the marathon, 162-game baseball season for me to bother gong back and forth, configuring whether we are in a wild-card position, the division title position, etc. So, I keep it simple, and allow myself the luxury of rooting for the Orioles and rooting against both the Yankees and the Red Sox until the final dozen games or so.

      The 2023 attendance thread

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      I blame the Montreal Expos for that. They poached our territory. And all the front office executives from 2001-2011 are also partially to blame for failing to compete with Washington for fans. (And as a side note, I really hope we are valuing our fans from North Carolina who have supported the Orioles for generations.)

      Gunnar Henderson 2023

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      Interesting little piece of trivia. At this same point (of service time on the calendar) through both their careers, Cal (Ripken Jr) had played in fewer games and had fewer plate appearances. Gunnar Henderson has a better wOBA and a better wRC+ through the same amount of plate appearances up to this point of Gunnar's career. (I'll make a topic about it tomorrow).

      Guardians Series - Test for the Defense

      By Just Regular · Posted

      The story of the Guardians year has been the inability to put runs on the board, but they still lead MLB in fewest Strikeouts, and Fangraphs still pegs BAL the very worst team at defense YTD. They won the rubber game today of their Cardinals series, so are coming in on a little bit of a good note.     The Twins haven't played very well, leaving almost everyone a good week away from the division lead. K-BB standing among Active Roster AL SP (18) Wells v. (30) Allen (54) Gibson v. (61) Quantrill Voth/Irvin v. (49) Bieber 2 of 3 day games in a weekday series with the holiday, and a getaway day out to San Francisco and Alex Cobb for us.     Cleanup hitter Josh Naylor sat out today after fouling a ball off his foot, but X-rays okay and chances are he'll be back for this series.     With the 2.5 day break from WED afternoon to FRI night late, Hyde should have a lot of options for the finale if Wells/Gibson hold serve.

      Anyone else pissed that they played us so tough? We should have swept them.

      He would have the 6th highest batting average on the Orioles.

      Red Sox promoting Marcelo Mayer to AA.    Mayer is a year ahead as America's best 18 year old shortstop, and I guess we'll see tomorrow if he is maybe as little as a day ahead of getting to the high minors.
