Grow up. You're nothing but a punk bully. So easy to talk this way when you're in front of a computer. Would love for it to be otherwise.

Now there's a brilliant move. Puff out your chest and try to start something with one of the most respected, intelligent posters on this message board. You'll earn a lot of respect with that tactic.

Ok. It's time for someone to be banned.

I have been told F.U. on this page. I have been called an idiot. I have been told to go away. Nohing happened to any of those posters. I have never said anything back until tonight. The double standard you all have is ridiculous.

Well, you did have some implicitly violent (physical) language in your comment. I'm not saying you should be banned, just that there is a difference between saying, "You suck, go away," and "I'd like you to say that to my face."

He doesn't have a point. Buck did the only thing he could do in this situation. We had to start Tillman tonight to try to get home field at worst and a divisional tie at best. And he certainly didn't have any need to do the sarcastic "thanks Buck" ending. Buck has done a phenomenal job this year. For anybody to criticize him at this point regarding this season is just ludicrous.

Yeah he doesn't have to be an ass about it but this does seem to be, uh, risky.

If it was between Britton and Saunders I might pick Britton. I might even pick Bundy since Saunders seems like an automatic loss anyway. I know I know, no such thing. But geesh.

I know this might be shocking, but I don't come on here looking to fight with people. Do I get worked up about the Orioles sometimes, yes. But I don't know how some folks on here expect me to react when I get unloaded upon.

I tend to answer with well thought out, snarky comments masked as polite conversation. Kill 'em with kindness, I say :D

Glad to see the loss didn't get anyone in a bad mood....lol.

In all seriousness, it's my opinion that you just cannot start Saunders on Friday if you want a realistic chance to win. Citing experience as the crux of your argument doesn't hold water. How many of you work with someone close to retirement? They have a ton of experience, but would you say you would trust them to close on the biggest deal for you company? Experience and $1 will buy you a candy bar (I think!)

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      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.
