I Just have a problem with the term "drop" on that ball. He didn't catch it but he didn't drop it either.

That's fair. It wasn't a drop like the Jones drop against the Yankees. But it was a ball that he didn't come up with. There were two very tough plays in CF last night in opposite directions. The guy in the white uniform made his, the guy in the gray uniform didn't.

If that was Jones, there would be several pages of criticism.

An 11 page thread on an idiotic idea. Fortunately most of the thread has little to do with the original silly post.

Far as the OP. We are 2.5 games back and are tied for the 3rd best record in the AL despite some pretty poor SP. We are also getting back the guy (Chen) who many would argue is the best starter of the lot. Gausman has had his struggles but is showing enough IMO to believe he will get better. When you consider all that its really silly to assume this team will fall out of contention. Could they...sure....will they... I tend to doubt it.

If anything they should be looking to add pitching not sell it. If you want to discuss trading JJ this offseason then fine but till then he should stay here as we have no immediate replacement available and despite the OP's prophetic prognostication of impending doom we are likely to stay in the hunt.

Maybe, but the objective person would say that 3 of 4 for BOS is more likely than 3 of 4 for the O's. Probable out come is the O's avoiding a sweep. Look at a the pitching matchups. I think a sweep of the SUX would require flying pigs.

Well, it looks like your idea of an objective person would have been utterly and totally wrong, then. Which team has the better odds of winning three out of four now? And how are those pigs flying odds looking? Go O's!

I think there are two different discussions going on here; some are trying to objectively evaluate the two teams, and others are pumping themselves up as homers who hate the red Sox. I hate the Red Sox because their fans are obnoxious, but I respect their team.

I am pretty much in the former camp, but I respect your right to respect the Red Sox. Team. Ted Williams was good.

We own the Red Sox.

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      John Means 2024

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.

      Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.

      He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
