The level of negativity on this board right now, where our team stands right now... I cant deal with this ish. These "fans" that spew ish about our team, daily. Hourly.

I'm f-in done. :new_wave:

It gets old real quick hearing the negativity, even when they are winning.

I acknowledged a few days ago that I was getting negative about the team but I have since tried reigning that in. When I sit back and think about the starters and the up and down of the offense, I'm happy that they are in a wildcard position. I look forward to enjoying the remaining 26 games and seeing how it turns out. Life is too short to be negative all of the time.

Sad to see you take off for a while, but it's understandable. The negativizers are actually alien simulations sent to sicken the hearts of true fans. Don't let the darkness seep in! Don't stop flying the colors from the Balcony as the team sails deeper into battle!

Heed the call of our Captain! Wish I was in Baltimore to add more madness to the Camden Crazed!

Don't understand the negativity. Losing is frustrating but this team has been in contention since the first pitch of the season and there has been very few moments where if the season ended today, we wouldn't be a playoff team. Lots of ball left to play, lots of games left to play! Lets go Os!!

Sometimes, the negativity has little to do with what the Orioles are doing. Same thing with attendance problems.

In my rat's ass of an opinion, about half of the negativity comes from those who wait for an Orioles loss and/or an Orioles losing streak, and use that as a reason to say something along the lines of, "Aha! You see that? I said this about the team before, but nobody would listen."

And unless you are a team like the 2001 Mariners, the 1998 Yankees, or the 1984 Tigers, those types will be here every year, all year long.

Even when the 2014 Orioles stomped their way to the division title over the final 2 and-a-half months of the season, we still saw threads such as this:

The Jeter Walk-Off could have Unintended Consequences

http://forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/showthread.php/144128-The-Jeter-walk-off-could-have-unintended-consequences?highlight=Derek+Jeter+Game

So it/they is here, and it isn't going away.

Yeah, but when you leave, you let the negative nellies win. I have to say, I usually follow the game thread because I don't know everything there is to know about baseball. I never played, and was a late bloomer, not becoming a fan until I moved to Baltimore for college and saw Eddie Murray belt his 500th home run in my first game at Orioles Park. Lately, the game threads have become unbearable to the point where I wonder if they still add anything to my enjoyment of the game. If people like you start leaving, driven out by those who see a dark lining in every puffy cloud, I doubt I'll read much longer.

Totally understadable, Scott. There are folks on the ledge constantly, I suppose it's where they live. To each his own, but if I'm going to spend my time following a team this closely, I'm gonna take some joy away from it. There's clearly flaws in this team and the way it's run at times. Following this team is not a job. It's a labor of love.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
