Give it a break? Buck sent out a pitcher on 8 days rest to get "work" in. There were 2 other games before that.. against Tampa and Twins (Friday game) in which Ubaldo could have been given work.

Weams, You know, you don't build on a quality outing by a pitcher by given him 8 days rest. You just don't. You know the O's sent Norris and Miggy down during so they could be on regular days and not a have a break in between.

So why is it wrong to call Buck's move a screw up if the intent is to get Ubaldo back to being Ubaldo?

Because Ubaldo has stunk all year and does not get the benefit that the others get. His role from here on out is to come into games that have already been decided, or rain delays where the starter can't come back out.

Late to the party here. Was at the game. My first trip to OPACY this year. Had to explain to the little ones why our guy was being booed. real shame. No point.

I personally think it is good for kids to learn at an early age that when you don't di your job right people are going to be unhappy and when they do better like they are capable of doing they will be cheered.

We should probably start booing at TBall games too. How else will they learn?

In 15 starts from mid April thru July... Or roughly 75% of his starts this year - UJ pitched to a 3.98 ERA. He has contributed this year and therefore does not deserve to be booed by anyone who has class - which brings me to a second point.

I live close to St. Louis. I used to brag on O's fans until I paid attention to Cardinal fans. The fans here have class and are smart. Before they booed... They would remember what the guy did in April thru July AND realize they need this guy to get his confidence up in case he was needed in the stretch run, playoffs or World Series.

We are ONE injury away from needing him. Booing him makes Baltimore fans look classless (especially since Ray Rice was cheered) and ignorant.

I don't care what the football fans do.

I don't boo but I support the rights of my fellow fans to boo if they wish.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.

      Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.

      If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.

      It also means we don’t have to trade our prospect capital to acquire him

      Machado just hit a 2 run home run off of Yamamoto.  I hope the Orioles young players are taking notes.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By CTBear · Posted

      Yeah it was priced initially the same as the ALDS games, same as last year. Nobody was rushing to pay those prices. And by the time the tickets reached appropriate levels, by the Orioles lowering their prices or the secondary market coming down in price, fans have like 24 hours to figure out their plans to attend a mid afternoon game. It’s just not worth getting upset about — we still had an awesome crowd and the only thing missing was an offense to ignite it.
