That was a really horrible play all around. Slow, stopped too soon, jumped about 2 inches off the ground. Really bad. Nelson-Cruz-in-game-6-of-the-World-Series bad.

Can you believe I got into a debate with a poster last week who thought his defense wasn't bad enough in left to make up for his offense?

He might be the worst outfielder I have ever seen at the MLB level.

Since his first two starts he has pitched 33.2 innings and given up 42 hits, 12BB, 27ER, 25K, 6HR with an ERA of 7.22. Maybe teams are getting a good book him.

He is tipping his pitches from the stretch really bad. The other night the announcer was calling every pitch before he threw it and was right every time. The yesterday they did a segment on baseball tonight on it showing him doing it when he got into trouble. Maybe a nervous twitch or something.

I think we can all agree that we would rather he still be with the Orioles than with the red sox. Especially since Bundy will probably never pitch for the Orioles and Harvey hasn't been able to stay healthy.

Well that is something that is probably an easy fix.

For the life of me I don't understand how pitchers get to the majors tipping pitches. All the film and all the eyes on them I would think someone with the organization would see it.

Meh, he will pitch next year because he has to. Will he stay on the field healthy for more than a few weeks? Who knows

He makes Delmon Young look flashy.

Might be Steve Sax disease. Or Rick Ankiel disorder. Or Chuck Knoblauch Flu. Or Mackey Sasser Malady.

Refresh my memory please. Wasn't ERod in AA when we traded him?

I can't believe anyone could have been upset with that trade.

I always thought the trade was a good one.  A risk that you take if you think you have a chance to win it all.  It didn't pan out that way, but not because Miller wasn't good.  I always thought we should have tried to keep him though, even if only to bid up the ultimate price someone paid...sorta like Detroit did to us.

I agree.

I always thought it was a key move, and damn near paid off too.

E-Rod was an interesting situation.

He was a talented arm that was having trouble with constituency.

They traded off, to keep Miller out of Detroit and to help an already solid pen.

E-Rod has been inconsistent in the majors, 19-20. Throwing some gems and some eggs.

Now he has knee problems.

I doubt E-Rod will ever be an ace, but there is still an outside possibility.

The DD haters will keep harping about this trade and the impact to the long term health of the Orioles.

I would make this trade every single time, given the circumstances they found themselves in.

      i still like that winning your division matters, at least a little bit.  So I think there's a happy medium between how unbalanced it was, and what you are suggesting.  13 games vs each division team feels right to me, but there are going to be years where that skews the WC thing a bit, because there's always one really bad team, it seems, somewhere (not always as bad as the ChiSox, of course).  I'm not sure how else to further balance it.  Maybe cut back on the NL stuff a bit and play more games against your non-divisional conference rivals so at least there's more head to head to base the WC on.

      Apparently this post of mine from one year ago killed this thread, as it was the last before today's bump.  In re-reading that, I am reminded (by a past version of myself, LOL) of why I love this sport.  It was actually a bit invigorating reading that back to myself.  LETS GO BIRDS!

      I've found the older I get, the less interest I have in watching my teams lose. It's a waste of time so I find something else to do. Watching my team lose is not enjoyable so I'd rather do something I'd enjoy. It's not like I'm that old either, just 47. I get a lot more enjoyment out of watching good games with other teams, to be honest. Watching the Bills in the first half last night was fun. The Redskins/Bengals game was fun to watch. Man City and Arsenal on Sunday was great. The Chiefs/Falcons game was a good game. There were a few decent college football games this last weekend as well. I'll watch the game to start tonight and if the O's are down 3-0 after the 1st inning, I'll find something else to do, probably watch some of the other MLB games that have playoff implications.

      It will be interesting to see if there is any carry over from the HBP's culminating in Heston's beaning.  Hate to say it but that's around when the .500 play started, now much worse.  I did like the way HK stared down Holmes after being hit-I think this series will mean a little more to him.

      It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.
