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.

    • Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!
    • Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.
    • SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.
    • Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.
    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
