I'm not a fan of those who just stop walking in the middle of the concourse, but I haven't noticed a correlation with flip-flop wearing. Of course, I'm one of those wearing flip flops at a number of games, so...

I hate the ones that can not stay seated in their seats, didnt you come to the friggin game to watch a game? :):):)

Yeah, I can see what you mean on all of this. But that's both extremes. If there isn't proper support for your argument, then it's all emotional. And that's the worst.

True, a bit on the extreme side, but does happen from time to time.

Bottom line, this isn't a 74 win team, thankfully, and its September and the team is playing meaningful baseball!!!

That's good perspective. I'm glad I can still watch meaningful baseball and get emotional about it instead of having to fallback to football mode. That'd be depressing.

In the concourse,they have to be seven across moving like a slug. Also if you need to talk to someone in the concourse,do you have to stand right in the middle so you block both sides.Why do people wave from their seats when a play is going on? if you need to land airplanes wait for between innings.Let them find where you sitting with GPS>

I love getting tickets, where you have to use the limited access concourse. :):):)

You usually don't have that trouble.

It's a message board. We should encourage honest debate. I have no problem with negative informed opinions or positive informed opinions.

I think the "informed" part is important. Negativity backed with reasoned points is fine. Extreme negativity absent reasoning has a lot more excuses made for it around here (in the "we need all points of view" sort of way) than abject homerism, at least in my experience.

All opinions are not equal. Nor are they safe from criticism when they are less equal.

When the "Negativity" is a "Captain Obvious" statement followed by more negativity of the "Opinion Based Assumptions" and then repeated time and time again when the Orioles Lose a couple of games, make for hard reading.

By "Captain Obvious" I mean that saying if the Orioles lose more than they win they will not make the "Post-Season" and the "Opinion Based Assumption" usually follows "The Orioles Are Done For This Year". That to me is leap that needs to be curbed back a bit until the "Math" makes US done.

These type of posts are never made when two or three games are won in a row.

The Internet isn't very positive by nature. Does anyone ever read comments in news articles? Awful. Just terrible terrible stuff.

I wonder what boards these posters read that are always complaining about negativity? CuteCatpics.com?

Perhaps the OH should ban all negative posts? That way the regulars can get more time to discuss how great they are and how much smarter they are than the average baseball fan. It would reduce all the distractions so those great posters can focus on how David Lough would have been epic if only he had more at-bats.

Good luck with your mission to make the OH just like the rest of the internet. It's a desperately needed public service.

Weems already replied that meaningful baseball is all he is looking for. I wonder how many of our posters can say the same. In reading posts, I get the feeling that some people would be satisfied with nothing less than this year's Chicago Cubs' winning percentage. We should have 3 pitchers who can be put in the aces discussion, 9 batters who will hit at least .280 with 20-30 homeruns and at least a few stolen bases each, and the leading MVP candidate. Anything less is not just normal, it's a failure..

      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 Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      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.
