What's the "Hip Hop" reference supposed to mean? That's racist.

Racist? Are you insane? There is plenty of real racism in the USA and the world, stop making up fake racism. Unreal. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Your post is more racist then his. You need to cut this old guard crap. I'm one of the oldest posters here and just about every one dislikes me. I'm not a member of any guard. There is no old guard.

Why should I be ashamed when I deal with racism everyday? His comment came off as racist.

As I was clearly joking about wanting to be part of the "new guard", why would my comment about starting to listen to "Hip" music i.e "Hip Hop" be construed as racist?

Three years from now, during a bored day on the OH, when someone asks, "Name every hitter who contributed to the record-setting 8 home-runs-in-one-game-effort on June 16th, 2015, no one will remember Chris Parmelee. But I hope he makes the most of the chance he has right now.

If a RH is on the mound, I expect to see Parmelee in the lineup. Could be Reimold or Snider on the other corner. Lough probably plays for Jones again.

A righty is on the mound. I'd play lough in center tonight again with Parmalee and Reimold. I'd make sure Pearce and Young get PH opportunities.

Don't sell yourself short.

I take "old guard" to refer to people who a) believe in rational discussion informed by arguments; b) for this reason, tend to defer to the judgment of Duquette and the organization; c) believe in the use of baseball statistics as part of the rational discussion; and d) mostly use the board for thinking critically about how to incrementally and constructively improve the team. I believe the majority of the people on the board fall into this camp.

There is a small group that a) is more interested in representing the emotional pulse of the fan base; b) wants to attack the organization for anything bad and suggest radical changes; c) is much more interested in immediate gut reactions; and d) uses the board to blow off steam after losses. Because this is a smaller group, they feel persecuted by the larger group.

We all know who we are and which camp we fall into. Let's just acknowledge that and move on.

Agree on Lough and Jones.

I hope you are right. I love me some Veal Parm. I would like to see him play again (and this time I won't be at the gym).

There are no groups. And no safety in numbers. We are all individual posters. Responsible for our own opinions.

Memo to Rene88, due to last night's box score, you are now required to be at the gym, for every Oriole game for the rest of the season. :)

I was out with the wife and kept peaking at my phone and yahoo. One point they put up that six spot early.

I whistled and softly said Holy Crap (Cleaned up for our youngsters). My wife laughs at me and gives me the elbow, slush yourself.

      I thought Chisholm missed home too. They didn’t appeal tho I don’t think.

      Inexcusable missed call in NY. Review Cleo at showed Chisholm out at 2nd. They upheld safe call.

      Elias: It's on me

      By now · Posted

      Well, good on posters who proved the SSS side of "Guards Ball." I just found it striking in terms of the narrative in that article, which was basically the same as what most around here were complaining the O's lacked: clutch hitting, passing the baton, aggressive running, getting runners in from third, etc. I guess the real bottom line is "whatever works." Which of course varies from case to case. The old Bill James postseason wisdom was that HRs are the ticket, since you face good pitching and get so few hits. So back to you, Elias, keep crunching those numbers...

      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.
