At this point, everyone agrees with that. But can we play in the playoffs stitched together with duct tape and coming in ice cold?

You assume other teams don't have warts and ups and downs. They do! The unknown Orioles were never going to beat the mighty Koufax and Dodgers and did in 4 straight. They went into that Series on a finishing 14-19 tear. In 1969, the Mets supposedly had no chance against the steamroller that was the 1969 Orioles. We not only can play, we have as good a chance as anybody else to win it all. Just enjoy the ride.

A lot of you are Ravens fans. Not like they came burning into the 2012 playoffs. Many ways to skin a cat. This is the best O's team in years. I think we can go far.

This is a great post. However, I think a lot here are not NFL fans. I am but right now is not football season to me, the past 3 years have not been NFL in September nor October. I am glad, I am a #1 baseball fan and will take this any day of the week with a Ravens loss.

Which BTW, our receivers helped Flacco in no way and our defense needs to stop the bend not break approach. Besides AJ Green.

    • Does anybody know that he is an ex Yankee?
    • I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.
    • A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.  
    • I'm still trying to figure out how this guy is out of the majors for 7 years and somehow manages to pick up 2 MPH on his fastball, at the age of 34.  But hey, I'm not complaining.   Statcast loves him so far this year.  Statcast thought he was a little unlucky in his last stint in the majors, and unsurprisingly they think he's getting a little lucky now, but even accounting for his good luck he's still in great pitcher territory.
    • 2 "gutsy" starts in a row.  That's exactly what you want out of veterans to demonstrate to the young guys.
