Do we root for them against Boston this weekend?

It's way too early in the season to care (in terms of the standings.)

If you hate the Yankees more than you hate the Red Sox, then root for the Red Sox.

If you hate the Red Sox more than you hate the Yankees, then root for the Yankees.

If it were the final 2 weeks of the season, I would begrudgingly root for the Yankees to win. It isn't, so I'm rooting for them to lose.

A slight bit bitter sweet in that it means the Red Sox won today.

More than bitter sweet to me. It's in the best interest for the Orioles for the Yankees to beat the Red Sox right now so that we can extend our divisional lead. I hate the Yankees as much as the next guy, but I don't hate the Yanks MORE than I like the O's. The O's first order of business is winning the division (it's never to early to build a lead). The Yanks are in last place, the Red Sox in 2nd. Until that changes, I'm pulling for the Yanks to win.

    • My avatar agrees with this sentiment! (See @Frobby comment above) Also - Jordan Westburg is the straw that stirs that drink!
    • I was being conservative, but it looks like you may be right.  44,555 yesterday afternoon.  88,542 for the first two games.   Attendance passed the 1 mm mark yesterday, on the 38th home date.    
    • Came here to read about Bradish and wondering if I clicked wrong because the entire last page is about Cowser….
    • Really not worried about the pitching matchups. It’s about our lineup being able to string together good at bats and put up some crooked numbers.
    • These points are generally accurate, but I think the synthesis skews a bit negative. Overall, I am more positive on Cowser than I was coming in to the season. ·       Is he as good at defense as his OAA says? Probably not. However, he has been a lot better than expected and can likely be average or better in center field or plus in COF the next few years.  Combined with above average base running, this changes the hurdle on the offensive side to be an above-average regular. ·       I’m not sure it’s fair to just write off 40% of the season to date as a hot streak.  I think we would need to compare other players’ stats with their hottest month subtracted out. ·       Since May 1, his xwOBA has been .334. Overall, his xwOBA has been .349 (vs .330 wOBA). Yes, over a full season or more, wOBA tends to correlate to future wOBA equal or better than xwOBA does. However, in a half season or less, xwOBA has a stronger correlation to 2nd half wOBA than wOBA does. See here and here. ·       Cowser’s swing and miss will likely keep him from being elite, but I think he can still be very good.  Compare him to a player like Brent Rooker who has more swing and miss.
    • Especially it being in Texas this year.
    • “If he ain’t starting, he ain’t departing” ( one of my favorite all-time comments).  😇
