I was at the Shorebirds vs my hometown Hagerstown Suns where 3,106 showed up for a Low A baseball doubleheader featuring a Mike Mussina bobble head for the first 1,000 fans (unfortunately I was in the

I’ve seen the show twice, first on Broadway pretty early on before the hype had become ridiculous, and second a touring production at the Kennedy Center.   Put it this way: if any Broadway show is wor

I know this is not supported by this baseball board, but the NFL has long overtaken MLB as more followed sport.

I'm fairly sure we're not all completely delusional here.  American football passed baseball in popularity in the US about the time I was in kindergarten, if not earlier.  This is not in dispute.

I mentioned the something about this subject the other day, when we was dicussing the downward spiral that MLB is in, and some of the posters stuck to their guns, that Baseball is the only sport.

They are welcome to that belief, but I dont share it.

i doubt a majority of the fans are into gambling on their teams.

but, heck, Ive been wrong before.

According to a comprehensive analysis of one article I just found on Google, about $2B was legally bet on football in Nevada in 2017.  I'd guess that illegal betting on football, or legal betting in other locations, was at least that high or higher.  So maybe $5B? a year gambled on football.  What is that, about 33% of what the NFL brings in, in total revenues, in a year?  $5B is the equivalent of a million people each betting $5,000 on the NFL a year.  Or 100,000,000 people each betting $50.  That's a fair amount of gambling.

It's a completely different subject to discuss your favorite sport, or the favorite sport of average Americans.  The NFL is about 8th on my list of sports to watch, and as I mentioned the other day I'd just as soon cut the grass, but I know it's at the top of the list for at least a plurality of Americans.

I dont see Oriole fans (or anything other baseball team) walking around in tennis shoes blazen with their team's name and colors.

But, you can see that here with the Ravens and Redskins.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What do you mean starting for Slater? He is not a starter. The Ragans matchup makes things interesting because he has reverse splits. I don't know the numbers but they need to start the guys with good numbers vs Ragans and/or LHP changeups, whether they are LH or RH.

      2024 Week 4: Ravens vs Bills on SNF

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Perhaps. I'm just saying he could stop the Chiefs, the Raiders disaster, and the Cowboys debacle certainly gave me pause.  Last night they certainly looked better, but the first 3 games gave me pause. I think we'll know more after a full season.

      Observations at the end of the regular season....

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      1. If the Orioles had signed Jack Flaherty, Seth Lugo and Chris Sale to bolster our pitching staff last off-season, this place would have gone ballistic, and not in a good way. 2.  The Orioles ended the regular season last year flat as a pancake, and it carried into the offseason.  This year, while under the pressure of trying to keep up with the Yankees, the team struggled mightily to find consistent offense and any overall consistency.  Once that pressure waned with us knowing our destiny, guys seemed to loosen up, and we saw the offense come back.  I thought that might happen.  However, my question is, after laying an egg in the playoffs last year and recent struggles despite the last two series, does the pressure of the postseason put us back in the funk we saw throughout most of August and September? 3.  I've seen a consistent theme in this forum over the past week or two which is this:  "All we have to do is get hot at the right time, like Texas did last year."  While I agree that's true, and want us to be that team this year, isn't that statement kind of an admission that without getting hot, we're not good enough on our own merits to persevere in the tournament?  And before I get crucified for saying that, I'll point to what everyone has witnessed in recent months:  Bad/inconsistent bullpen, inconsistent offense, questions about our starting pitching, defensive lapses and being prone to not showing up offensively.  And please, let's not act like some, or all of these, don't exist.   That all being said, Go O's!!!!!  Let's get hot!!

      This Playoff Start From Burnes Defines His Time With the O’s

      By Just Regular · Posted

      All of the October ones will.    Tomorrow good chance to be the least important one if things go any kind of good. Granted ~40% chance it is the only one, but that is short series baseball, not him. I won't have warm feelings if he handles these guys but is bad twice the next series.

      Would be upsetting to start Slater in any playoff game at this point. Even if you think Mullins/Cowser cant hit LHP (news flash Slater cant either)- keep the defense and the guys who "got you there"

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By terpoh · Posted

      If the point was "Skubal is better" you kind of proved that for them. More innings, more K's, less ER, less Walks, less hits, better W/L. Across the board. Ragans is very very very good- but Skubal is better, and the runaway for AL Cy Young. Either is capable of shutting down an offense- and Ragans did just that earlier this year. But we also roughed up Ragans in the other start. No matter who we face, we're going to find things that make it tough, its the playoffs. Lets keep playing good ball and get payback for 2014.
