Hey buddy-you also opened up the Hatorade on Rendon:) ha ha. 

 

I thought he was physically infirm. I like him. I was wrong.  But only occasionally do I get them right. I did fall in love with Ray's arm though.

To all those on this board who have been saying...Oh I didn't want Miggy Gonzalez, he isn't any good, he doesn't have anything left...blah, blah....here is my prediction.   In 2018, Miggy Gonzalez will outperform all of the dumpster trash Duquette eventually does eventually sign or the Mike Wrights, Ynoas, Cortes, Rule 5s, converted players or whoever else this joke of an organization runs out there on opening day.   I am done with Angelos, Dan Duquette and Showalter and not necessarily in that order.

Dear God at not topping 1/4.67 when you have 3 rotation spots to fill.

And who is to say that Gonzo would have jumped at 1/5?  Maybe he was comfortable in Chicago?  Maybe he has hard feelings toward the O's?

I see folks do this every year.  Just because player A signed with team B it doesn't mean the O's could have signed him for X+1 dollars.

I agree with you. I too am done.

Personally I didn't expect Miggy to ever sign with the O's. I think there are hurt feelings Miggy has for DD.

Araujo was a 1 inning reliever.

Fixed that for you!    All relievers on the O’s are potential starters, except maybe O’Day and Hart.   At various times we’ve heard starter speculation about Britton, Brach, Bleier, Castro, Scott, Yacabonis.   So what if the guy’s never started a game in his life, or it’s been five years, or whatever!

    • If they were going to get rid of Fuller they should have done it a month and a half ago. The issues with our hitting were apparent the whole second half of the season. Maybe a firing or two would have sent a message to the players prior to their postseason fizzle. . 
    • What does Eflin and Jimenez signify? It was a very small addition to the payroll. John Angelos would have approved that, if he needed to approve anything at all.
    • I'm not sure that's quite it.  Well, more importantly, I'm not sure that's quite it for me. I absolutely want to win more in the playoffs.  At this point there's no question that for me I'd live through some lousy seasons if it guaranteed a World Series trophy.  I'd give up a lot for that. But unfortunately it's the weird paradox, especially in baseball, where the games that mean so much in terms of perception actually mean very little.   Just look at some the threads posted on this board in recent weeks. "Do the Orioles need more experience"?  (studies have shown this is not the case) "Maybe they need a certain type of hitter/approach!" (no, studies have shown that's not it either) "They must need to build their bullpen a certain way." (nope) "Well you have to be playing well in September to have a chance in October!"  (very much not true) "It must be those nice white boys need somebody to be a jerk" (OK, no real way to quantify that one :)) The Astros must have the secret sauce, they went to the ALCS a lot of times in a row!  Oh, they lost in the 1st round this year. Study after study after study shows that there is no pattern.  There is no "right" way to do it.  There's no way to predict from year to year which teams will or will not go on the run. If for that crazy 8-9th inning on the day after the season the Mets may not have even made the playoffs.  Now they're the example of guys that can "get it done". It's not an excuse, and frankly it's not really my opinion.  It's reality. I do 100% agree with your last 2 sentences.  I don't know what we've done to so displease the baseball gods.
    • It's definitely a possibility, but I wonder if there is actually something going on between Hyde and some players, would it be smart to bring his potential replacement in and subject him to the problem?    The fans, mostly here are the main source of BB being a manager. He's definitely had some MiL success so it's not unreasonable to assume he will be a manager someday. 
    • I think this is spot on in every way.  But I think the fanbase is somewhat divided on how important playoff success is. Put another way, for you, me, and a lot of folks, the playoffs mean a ton.  41 years with no championship or even a pennant is a real long time, and the narrative of the Orioles since 1983 has gotten extremely old. Even the narrative of this winless recent edition of the Os has gotten old. For other fans, the regular season means much more and winning/losing in the playoffs doesn't carry much weight because of the nature of the tournament.   There is no right or wrong way to be a fan of a team. But I can say that if you told me the next 10 years would involve 9 seasons where we lose 90+ games and 1 season where we win the World Series, I will gladly sign up for that.  I am definitely at that point where that title means everything to me and yes 29 teams go home without the ring each year, but 1 team does get it and that needs to be us. And if we get "lucky" like the Tigers on the path there, then bring it on! If the playoffs are a crapshoot, I am tired of that crapshoot rewarding everyone else.
