With the O's rebuilding, do you root for any other MLB teams?

[DocJJ]

Assuming there was baseball now, would you root for any other MLB team?   Our hearts bleed Orange and Black.   But we won't be contending for a long while...

 

I tend to like underdogs (small market type teams).   I've been thinking about adopting the Brewers or Padres...  

 

Or are you like- "The O's and no one else!"  ?

[DrungoHazewood]

No other major league team.  But I can root for foreign or indy league teams.  Also fictional teams on OOTP. 

I've admitted to a brief affair with the Indians in '88 and it still makes me feel a little dirty.

No

A partial interest in the Nats.  Not even rooting for them, just happy to see them do well and happy for the fans in the region.  Root, root, root for the home team, etc.  But I'd rather watch the Orioles despite the Nats being better, for sure.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Not a chance. I like watching Trout and Ohtani on the Angels though.

Padres occasionally but not heavily rooting. Their record of course wasn't great last season so guess I just like pain. 

They are local for me and about as far removed from the Orioles as possible. So not many conflicts of interest.

[CynBeth]

I am a huge Nats fan.

I kinda sort pull for the Braves, because they were so fun to watch when I was a kid. 

But I wouldn't say I'm a fan.

I dunno, they both suck.  So they're not that far removed.

Being in Texas and with family in Houston and having been an Astros fan when they were in the NL. I’m still a fan. Pissed me off when the MLB jackasses moved them to the AL. Don’t get me wrong I’m still an O’s fan. Fan since 1959.

In a word, no.  But I always love watching baseball being played, at any level, Little League to MLB, so I have always watched many other teams  and their games over the years.   But root?  Nope.  Not ever, not now and never.

I used to root for the Astros...But they are evil. I also rooted for the Mariners, but they’re pathetic. At the moment I am following baseball in general but I am only emotionally attached to the Orioles. However, as Manfred continues to ruin the game, I am on the verge of losing interest in baseball completely.

The (Milwaukee) Braves were the NL team I followed when I was a kid.  Loved Aaron, Mathews and Spahn.  Orioles fan first though.  I guess I'm more partial to the Braves than any other non-Orioles team.

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Rangers.

Plus whoever plays the Yankees.

[forphase1]

No way.   I mean if I'm watching a non Os game there is usually a team I'd rather see win and may cheer for them in that one game,  but to actively follow a different team,  never.   To chime in with others,  I hate the Nats...
