Don't some of you guys get tired of just whining, complaining, and insulting the team members of this team you supposedly love? I'm trying to follow the game thread and I can't even do it because your comments are so awful. My honest advice is to go do something else that is more fun. This can't possibly be enjoyable for you. Meanwhile, I will take my own advice and leave, because reading this stuff isn't enjoyable for me.

Their play is more pathetic than any posts at this point. They are playing terrible and deserve to be criticized at this point.

3 consecutive infield popups with no outs and 2 guys on. lol this team is down right pathetic.

And it is your 1-2-3 hitters. I think this team is in a funk and at risk of packing it in. Machado was cursing at himself after popup, Jones frustrated. I think this team, particularly those who have been on losers like Jones, Markakis, Wieters, Roberts, is resigned to their fate.

The team is playing horrible baseball.

Are we supposed to just pretend that's not happening?

      A philosophical question re offense and defense

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      @RZNJ and @Can_of_corn I appreciate the dialog. I think Jeter could have been a solid defender had he not been asked to play SS. So the quote above, (forgive me for picking a nit), is not entirely accurate. I don't think Jeter was "bad at defense." He was just not +10 at SS. There are a couple of plays that Jeter made that standout to me as showing outstanding defensive skill and situational awareness as well as athleticism. His issue is that he was not gifted with either the arm or the quickness to excel at SS. That coupled with the fact that A-Rod was a much better defensive SS than Jeter when A-Rod joined the MFYs makes me wonder is Jeter might have been a superb 2B or CF but was too stubborn to make the move.

      I think you need to give them a full season. Some of these guys will need to repeat because they are young for the level and just need lots of professional PAs.  Some will continue to fail, but the talented ones will keep getting chances for at least 700+PAs in A-ball.

      Just didn't have the command. Middle-itis. Hopefully a one-off.

      Baumann has to be the one to go. I’m sure he’s a swell guy and all but he is not a major league pitcher.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By deward · Posted

      Once upon a time, Suarez was rated the 9th best prospect in the Appy League and as high as the 12th best prospect in the Rays system. He also did get parts of two seasons in the majors with the Giants. I know he's been bouncing around Japan and Korea for the past few years, but he wasn't completely off the radar earlier in his career. Reality may well catch up to him soon, but pitchers have weird trajectories sometimes.

      I'm not a doctor, so if the O's are confident he is up to going back into the rotation as a full time starter, I suppose I will trust it. However, it makes sense to me to be conservative and manage his innings so he is in peak form in Sept/Oct. Of course, that takes for granted that we can get to the playoffs with him in a lesser role which may not be the case, but my inclination would be to stretch him out later rather than sooner.

      Samuel Basallo 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      All of that is fair to point out, some of which I did. My only issue with the snarkiness of the original comment like there was an over reaction going on by pointing out he's off to a disappointing start.  At the end of the day, Basallo is uber talented and he will figure it out.
