If you watch TV you might notice that all the leading men look like that.

I don’t watch TV outside of sports.

Nor could I do that job. 

I’d be the teacher who looses it and yells at kids to shut up. It would be like a skit from the Chappelle show

I was not able to reach my source in the warehouse yesterday. The person I know is a friend and speaks to the very important people inside that building.  I am one of the few on here who has spoken to Peter Angelos before face to face and used his law firm. I've said this before. I'm guessing there are others on here that can say the same thing.  All I'm trying to do is get quotes from someone who might say something as simple as we have two offers out right now to starting pitchers and hope to reach a decision with them by early this week and we have something in the works for adding a left handed hitter. Manny info would be nice. Signing him for this season yesterday allows the team trying to obtain him to have a better idea what their final payroll is going to look like. Every team trying to trade for him does not have the money the NYY and Dodgers have.  I will try again on Monday. Maybe something small or big will happen over the weekend after the signings yesterday.

Did your source (i.e., the beer vendor in section 318) ever get back to you?

This thread is going nowhere and should probably be locked imo.

First, let me offer the only optimistic take I can think of on  the subject of the OP: maybe it won't be too long until one or more regulars on the board have an in with new owners of the Baltimore Orioles.  :disco:

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      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.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By glenn__davis · Posted

      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.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      Exactly!

      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      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.

      More than once Fredi displayed a lack of control that cost him his job.
