This is more on the O's PR department than anything else. I don't post much so just take this as me wanting to contribute and discuss something and not trying to attack anyone over it,

Winning a division title and celebrating it in the moment is fine. I have a hat from last year myself. Making a big deal of it the next season is what I found kind of lame. You could make a case for an AL Championship. I get that. It means you won the league and didn't just qualify for the playoffs.

When there are 3 other division champs and wild cards in one league it just means you had a nice season. Nothing to brag about.

No one is seeking out memorabilia from those amazing 73, 74 division titles. Imagine bragging to a Yankee fan that the Orioles won the AL East.

It's great the O's turned things around, but act like you've been there before. :)

Yankee fans dont care about any division title, they just laugh and bring up getting swept in the ALCS. How do I know? Because Ive been listening to it.

I don't think they went over the top with it. They hung a banner in Eutaw Street with the rest of the playoff teams. I would think all teams would mention a division title. The Ravens Ring of Honor has the division champ teams on it.

I do however appreciate the contribution, even if not the sentiment.

OP read like being coached on knowing when to celebrate by a Yankee fan. Well intended, perhaps, but way off the mark.

The O's have become relevant again. They are winning games and packing the house. Winning the AL East was icing on the cake. It will be even better with a WS crown.

Still, plenty to celebrate right now.

      Umpire Scorecard Thread

      The missed third strike on Justin Turner in the 8th inning was one of the worst calls I've seen. He got lucky with the pitch clock strikeout to Devers but Baker gets out of that inning without giving up a run if that's called correctly.

      This is a pretty broad leap from signing Frazier, or trading Lopez, leading to Grayson being in in a mid-relief role.

      Lamar Rumors

      By Hallas · Posted

      1: I literally said, "there is big downside risk obviously." 2: Vick improved his passing in his early 30s before I think he got hurt and lost his starting job.  Lamar could do the same, which would counteract his loss of athleticism.  A ton of other quarbacks that improved in their late 20s early 30s.  Geno Smith wasn't a starter until he was, at age 33.  Alex Smith had worse accuracy numbers than Lamar for the first 5 years of his career before he figured it out.  You speak in absolutes as if you know exactly what's going to happen in the future with Lamar. 3: In 2029 you might be looking at backup qbs with 20 million salaries.  He'll still be tradeable if you really want to walk from him.  If you think he should be tradeable now then he'll likely be tradeable in 4-5 years. 4: Maybe we have different definitions of baggage, but when I think baggage, I think Aaron Rodgers going on darkness retreats and keeping the Packers in contract limbo for like 5 straight years.  Or Russell Wilson's office and plane ride antics.  Or Deshaun Watson.  Or Myles Garrett when he swung his helmet.  Lamar is negotiating a contract.  Poorly?  maybe, but that's not really baggage.

      Ramon Urias 2023

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Not disagreeing with you it’s just a team that would likely trade for Urias would be “contending”.  Those types of teams just don’t trade away pitching. They don’t. So we’re looking at a prospect return, when right now we need MLB immediate help.

      Baltimore Sun on John Angelos interview

      By dtk9119 · Posted

      Totally agree. The guy is a buffoon pure and simple. Might actually be WORSE than his father. I am starting to feel like this team will not be sold and we will be stuck w/ mediocrity for decades more to come. Prove me wrong John! Extend Adley and Gunnar and sign some bigger free agents next off season.

      Appears Grayson pitched his way to AAA to start the year

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We desperately need Grayson to pitch his way into our rotation so that we can bump Wells to the pen. We might be better with Voth in the rotation over Wells right now because we need MR/SU help bad.

      2023 Defense Thread

      By jamalshw · Posted

      I know that they played the same positions last year at Fenway, but I almost wonder if it would make more sense to just leave Hays in LF and Santander in RF (when he's in the OF) regardless of stadium. I get the logic of Hays covering more ground, but there is an adjustment to how the ball comes off the bat and I wonder if the overall defense throughout the course of the season would be improved if they consistently get the same looks, playing the same positions. Ultimately, it probably doesn't matter, but just me wondering.
