Of course I'm messing with you. Nah, I'm not. Or maybe. No, I'm serious.:confused:

But I think I'll just stick with the same one. How would I explain it to all of my fans.:D

The thing about changing your name is that you can only do it once... EVER... no matter how long you're a plus member. I haven't done it because I don't want to waste the opportunity.

Yay! The O's may not be .500, but at least Jeremy Guthrie finally is!

As the board's resident marketing person (isn't it fun to make up titles?! I feel like I'm in the O's front office right now!), I've run studies in the last 5 minutes based on your marketability between waroriole and wariole. You definitely reach a more broad demographic by making the switch. It rolls off the tongue much easier. waroriole is bulky and cumbersome. wariole is streamlined, hip, and makes you come across as witty. Our experts (some guy I asked out on the street outside) estimate that you may increase your fan base anywhere from 120-180% of your current fan base. That's growth you shouldn't overlook. This isn't even touching the fact that your posts, due to your witty screen name, will be respected far more than they are now.

Really, in my expert opinion, the pros of this name change vastly outweigh the cons. If C.C. can go to CC and feel no repercussions, there's no reason that you can't make the switch to wariole.

Exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for doing all the work JD.

I told you Guts falls apart after 105 pitches. Number 105 and 106 were almost homers.

Well, I guess if you've done all the research. Did you contact the "OFFICIAL" fan club?

Yes, I did. It was approved by your loyal throng, four votes to one. The one against just likes to be contrary, though. He also voted against the Springfield Monorail.

I hear that bribes work well with the OH staff. :D

Alright Jay! Guthrie deserved that complete game victory. Great game - we own the M's!

Well, not exactly... we own a lot of them. See, they gave us 5 guys for one guy who never actually plays for them. So technically, we don't own their team, just a ton of their former players.

You've convinced me, I'm changing to Wariole.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By skanar · Posted

      Baseball Reference adjusts for quality of offenses faced, park factor, and team defense. Orioles team dWAR is 1.0; White Sox is -4.7. First guess is Fedde is getting a lot of credit for achieving the same run prevention in front of inferior fielders. Burnes has faced KCx2, Was, Mil, Tam, Sea, Torx2, Bosx2, Oak, Chw, NYY, LA. Fedde has faced KCx2, Was, Mil, Tam, Sea, Tor, Bal, Min, CLEx2, Ari, STL, and Det. Doesn't seem like a huge difference there. So it's probably the fielding adjustment. Is the White Sox stadium especially hitter-friendly?

      Rizzo just got hurt. Bad throw by 1B caused a collision at 1B. Rizzo while safe bumped into P and fell on ground.    He was grabbing his wrist/hand. Left game.    Red Sox are also in process of blowing the lead.

      I’ll agree and disagree. It’s not so important with this number of games left to juggle pitchers around since you are still playing the long game.     Bye teams going 3-5 in the DS have shown it’s not an impossible hill to climb. That said I think both teams still value winning the division.

      I totally agree. Some are still stuck in the mindset that we're a bad team.

      That's good.  Will give him something to do while he heals.

      Huh? He's on pace to start under 100 games at Catcher.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      Keith Law has him going late 1st round and doesn’t sound like a fan.   26. New York Yankees: Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee Moore has probably performed his way into the first round, even though the underlying tools and instincts don’t support it. He’s hit 23 homers and has a .380/.446/.774 line (through Monday) as part of the Vols’ loaded lineup, where five hitters already have 15 or more homers. I could also see them on Ryan Waldschmidt or Jordan. Baseball America’s most recent mock had him going 19.  Some reservations about his defense. 19. Mets — Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee Moore’s offensive consistency in his three years with Tennessee is impressive. He’s posted a 1.000 OPS or better in each season, has hit over .300 in each season and has managed double-digit homers in each season—with a career-best 28 homers in 2024. He did that while cutting his strikeout rate from 24-25% to 14.5%. There are real questions with how much he’ll be able to pick it at second base. Still, he has one of the more proven bats in the class and is getting tons of top-20 buzz.
