Are You Rooting For The Orioles Or Oakland?


ORIOLE33

Recommended Posts

In case you haven’t noticed, the A’s are trailing the Yankees by just 2 games in the wildcard standing. An O’s win really doesn’t do anything but help the Yankees. But the O’s is our team. If the Yankees have to travel to Oakland, I think there’s a very good chance that they’ll be eliminated. Even though the A’s have been the better team as of late, the Yankees would probably win in NY. 

Go A’s.

I would prefer for the Orioles to win an occasional game.  But in tonight's game it was hard to root for them.  I never saw Adam Jones look disgusted by his team before.  Rooting for them to win against the A's seems pointless as it isnt happening.  Orioles seem like they should be demoted to double A so they have a chance.

I don’t think it matters who I’m rooting for tonight.    Just checked the score.    Glad I’m not watching.  

I wish I hadn't watched the first five innings.  They should charge minor league prices for tickets and beer if this is the product they are putting out there. Ownership, DD, and Buck and the coaches should all be embarrased with the jobthey have done this season

I just don’t feel connected to this team, which is odd given the time I spend on here. Lol. I know the beginnings of rebuilds are tough because you have to watch a bunch of stop gaps until guys are ready but I feel like we have some guys we could have taken a look at. 

If we were trotting our a lineup that consisted of Mullins, Sisco/Wynns, Hays, Diaz, and Mountcastle, I would be watching and invested.

Cobb, Cashner, Nunez, Villar, and Beckham have all been with the organization for a shorter period of time than DL Hall. Davis is just infuriating, he should be fined heavily for taking strike 3 in 3 consecutive ABs, that is the embodiment of apathy. This isn’t the easiest group to connect with, but a Bundy Nono tonight will give us the single moment of glory we’ve been waiting for in 2019.

It’s hard to believe that our 24-46 record at home is far greater than our record on the road; We may not get to 20 road wins this year.

Let the A's and the MFY's settle it elsewhere. I root for the O's.

    • I really hope the Ravens win this one. I hate all Washington teams and always root for them to lose but especially if they are playing Baltimore teams 
    • I really don’t see the point of trading Mullins, or even Mountcastle for a reliever. We need Mullins definitely, especially with Santander being a FA.  What good is a reliever if you can’t get a lead?  I just don’t like trading everyday players for relievers, especially when we have a good looking pen next year pre deadline, and what reliever would Mounty/Mullins even buy. Would that reliever even be an upgrade over what we already have? At this point, I’m thinking Mounty goes for some sort of RHH COF. 
    • We couldn’t have asked for more from the Eflin deal than what we got. 9 starts that kept the rotation afloat to even make the playoffs. Then a “good” playoff start in an elimination game where we had the luxury of going to the pen fast.  It’s always tough giving up prospects, but Eflin did exactly what we needed him to do post deadline.   
    • There should be one philosophy, and that's what the O's claimed to have. There's just a lot more work to coaching 13 hitters (plus callups) than one person can do. Going through video, coordinating with the data folks, developing a plan, all that stuff. Only so many hours in the day.
    • I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.
    • At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also. 
    • Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.
