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..

Some would see anything short a WS trophy a failure.

But, you can only have 1 winner.

A real failure, is last place on 1 June and 20 games back and nothing to play for, the rest of the season.

Which is several of us, are in agreement, meaningful baseball at this time of the season, beats the alternative.

I come here because I'm among my brethren (and sistren) of Orioles fans, and I don't particularly care for any other sport. So the infighting particularly upsets me. We sometimes have different goals -- would you rather have fourteen years in a row of meaningful September baseball or thirteen consecutive losing seasons and one World Series crown? -- but you're all somehow my kin. Dear, dysfunctional and sometimes aggravating, but kin nonetheless.

And just like our own kin, we can't pick em, either. :)

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.

I saw no one making fun of you. No need to go on criticizing the board or it's members in good standing here. Report the posts you find offensive and leave the other crap behind.

Well said. There will be no infighting this weekend.

I'll take the one world series victory. Already had the many lousy years in a row. Last time we won a WS, I was 22 years old. I'm getting too old now and fear I may never see another one.

From a play that pretty much everyone reads at some point in school?

Considering some of the folks I know through this place, I'd say very little is too intellectual. Especially not something that starred Hailee Steinfeld.

This has been the busiest year of my professional career and I've been inundated with deadlines so my posting time on OH has been drastically reduced.

Despite a generally good season, there have been a lot of negative posts which is kind of bizarre to me. Other than my issues with the SP staff, I love how the team has played and I'm not getting what people are upset about other than the starting pitching.

They have leadership, chemistry, hustle, play hard every day and can hit like monsters.

Sometimes, it's good to remain quiet if there's nothing new to say.

      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.
