There are no groups. And no safety in numbers. We are all individual posters. Responsible for our own opinions.
Yeah, I am not a fan of anyone trying to separate this board out into groups. This "old guard" stuff is nonsense.

Good points. I certainly don't think we should use negative terms and did not mean to support that idea. Also agree that there are no groups in any coordinated sense. Just trying to make the point that I see where folks are coming from even though I disagree just about every time. I think there is space for both/all perspectives and I enjoy the exchange.

Sorry, did not mean to make it sound like I was attacking your post. That was not my intention at all. I know what you are saying and agree for the most part.

We are a big group, and it is natural that some people are going to congregate and agree with certain viewpoints. I just don't like it when people start keeping score between those perceived groups. We should not try and segment our big happy family here, and try to attach negative terms to some people. This is not middle school, and we are all on the same team here.

I don't know what about that sinister puppy killing Latino clique. They are always lurking. Melmo is just out in Belair.

Parmelee is making his only case to stay with the O's very loudly.

Been saying he could spark things and he has. However, he is bringing the performance of all of our OFers up.

Don't look now but Alvarez is heating up and he has had more homers than Parmalee. Just needs to work the count better. His RF play is better than many have stated.

When it rains, it pours.

A couple guys will be gone.

Alvarez will probably stay in Norfolk until rosters expand but another option...

    • 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.
    • It also means we don’t have to trade our prospect capital to acquire him 
    • Machado just hit a 2 run home run off of Yamamoto.  I hope the Orioles young players are taking notes.
    • Yeah it was priced initially the same as the ALDS games, same as last year. Nobody was rushing to pay those prices. And by the time the tickets reached appropriate levels, by the Orioles lowering their prices or the secondary market coming down in price, fans have like 24 hours to figure out their plans to attend a mid afternoon game. It’s just not worth getting upset about — we still had an awesome crowd and the only thing missing was an offense to ignite it.
