Man this sucks.  I don't want us to be terrible again.  

It's gonna happen, it's only a matter of time.  I thought for a while it would happen after 2018 when Buck leaves and so many players are gone.  But now.... I think they need to get ahead of the curve and TRADE MANNY

 

We do not want to follow the footsteps of the Phillies.

This is just not fun to watch anymore. There's a new injury every week it seems, and the pitching is so atrocious. 

I hate to say it, but the Davis injury could be a bit of a boost to the offense.   Alvarez comes up and DH's vs righties, Trumbo becomes the regular first baseman.   We lose some defense at first but I'll bet that Pedro gives us more than Chris has offensively.

Manny would be the one guy I'd hang onto and build around.  Plus his value is at an all time low.  But I doubt this year matters.  A team would give us a haul either way.  Gotta be an NL team though.

Can you use it in a sentence?:

Chris Tillman's performance in the first inning Saturday against the Yankees turned it into a shut down inning for me. 

Our friend Roy was watching the O's game the other night. He was SOOOO upset, he first turned off his TV... then shut down his computer and went to bed.

Well for the first time in my Oriole fandom, I'm having to bow out of a game (any of this past weekend's games would have been fine candidates, but I had a gig on Saturday and saw none of it). Better Call Saul and another program I wanted to record on the DVR are on at the same time and I had to change away from MASN. 

It was a good run.

So the Orioles must be near the top of MLB in shutdown innings.

Thanks.

Alvarez batting against RHP would certainly be an improvement over Davis right now.  Just don't let him onto the field.

      Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed.

      Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.

      Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.

      People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor.

      Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
