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.

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I do think Stowers has a greater than 0 chance of being on our OD roster next year.  Mayo replaces Urias Stowers replaces Santa Holliday replaces Mateo Basallo replaces McCann(probably another C for a bit)

      FCL Orioles 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      The FCL O's stand at 17-22.   They are 11th/15 in runs per game at 4.49, 10th in OPS at .692 (league average .713), 12th in ERA at 5.19, but in runs allowed per game at 4.77.   In case you are wondering how the team's RA/G is far lower than its ERA, it's because the FCL O's have only played about 7 innings per game on average, lowest in the league.  I'm not sure if they scheduled a whole bunch of 7 inning games, or have had a lot of games cut short by rain.  In any event, I'd take ERA as the better indicator relative to the league. The three offensive standouts have been: RF Elis Cuevas (19), .295/.424/.474, 4 HR, 13 RBI (1st year in the FCL after repeating the DSL with an .856 OPS the 2nd time).  Cuevas received a $150 k bonus in 2022. C/1B Miguel Rodriguez (18), .340/.411/.474, 3 HR, 15 RBI (had an .874 OPS in the DSL last year) 2B/SS/3B Edwin Amparo (19), .237/.387/.381, 3 HR, 14 RBI (repeating the FCL after a .668 OPS last year).  Amparo received a $650 k bonus in 2022. All three have had 110+ plate appearances.   The only others over 80 PA are Fernando Peguero (.595 OPS)($50 k bonus in 2022) and 2023 $2.3 mm bonus baby Luis Almeyda (.529).   Highly ranked Joshua Liranzo (17) missed the first several weeks and only has 40 PA, but has performed well in that limited span, .294/.400/.353.  Liranzo got a $500 k bonus in 2023. There's not much to write about on the pitching side: Jesus Palacios (19) has a 3.26 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 13.0 K/9 and 2.33 K/BB in 19.1 IP.  Palacios repeated the DSL last year and had a 1.95 ERA there in his second go.  Palacios received a $90 k bonus in 2022. Andres Parra (19) has a 3.72 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 8.4 K/9, 2.57 K/BB in 19.1 I.  Parra was promoted to the FCL partway through last season and saw limited action there (3.12 ERA in 8.2 IP) after posting a 0.00 ERA in his second DSL season in 14 IP.   Parra got a $10 k bonus in 2022. The other hot pitching prospect going into the season, 18-year old Francisco Morao, is struggling with a team-worst 8.50 ERA in 18 IP, after posting a 3.89 ERA in the DSL last year, with an 8.00 BB/9 rate being his big problem.  Morao got a $200 k signing bonus in 2023.

      Exactly, but I hope you meant Westburg at 3B and Mayo at 1B ? Trade Mounty and Urias to facilitate these moves and break the logjam
