A good way to remember who vs. Whom is whether the substitute or answer is he or him.

Who is to blame...he is to blame.

Whom is to blame...him is to blame.

The second one doesn't make sense so the correct usage is who.

 

As to the OP, I'm beginning to think this season is going to go down more like an WBC expo than a season.

The question was about “who did they hire”.

You would phrase this as “did they hire him?” So whom is correct.

Perhaps it's human nature, but there's an awful lot of assigning of blame to a specific person or group for very large, societal, country-wide, or even worldwide events and trends.  It's a little sill

Actually, that's a great point.  Excellent point.  What you're saying is that it's insane to pay players a lot of money to be on a bad team.  So what they should do is build talent internally though c

It's not illegal to refrain from signing guys to long-term contracts because you think its a bad idea. It is illegal when George Steinbrenner pulls his offer for Carlton Fisk after Jerry Reinsdorf ask

I think Buffalo is the logical spot

Buffalo or Rochester would be kind of neat. But there are factors that we don't know about -- like the costs to the BJs, lighting quality, quality of the off-field facilities, setup for TV -- that may push them elsewhere. A lot of empty ballparks out there.

They had already made backup plans in Buffalo (to some degree). Makes more sense to play at their affiliate than somewhere else.

With Florida the issue would be the heat unless the Jays would play home games at the Rays or Marlins home stadium. Their spring training facility is in Dunedin, FL which is a 40 minute drive from Tropicana Field. 

There shouldn't be any indoor games. Sure don't want to add any.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      That Jimmy Fallon movie was Fever Pitch.  Came out in late 2004 I think, because they had enough time to have the last scene being him and Drew Barrymore on the field in St. Louis celebrating the World Series win.  It actually was a really good movie at the time. But because the Red Sox and their fanbase became completely insufferable beginning with that comeback against the Yankees and carrying all the way through their 4 championships without so much as a loss in the World Series, it is hard for me to still enjoy it. But the underlying premise and that question of what has your favorite team ever done for you definitely resonated and certainly does even more so now with the Orioles.  And for Os fans the answer to that question is over the last 40 years, they haven't done much at all.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I have 13 game plan. Last year I was refunded. I hope I am this year.    The Ravens used to keep your money for playoff games not played and people complained. They stopped doing it. It’s pretty unethical in my opinion they keep the money towards next year. You can use that money for something else and make payments when they are due. Instead a business getting handouts from the state keeps your money.    The fact that you didn’t get playoff tickets due to this is alarming. They should wake up and be called out on this. It’s not acceptable.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I didn't watch the Astros or Os press conferences, mainly because I didn't want to look at or hear anything Elias or Hyde said. But I imagine that Houston fans are going to be far more accepting of how things ended than our fans are (or should be). The Astros fan has had a pretty charmed life (cheating stigma aside) since the last time we won a playoff game.

      According to park factors, OPaCy was friendlier overall to righties compared to lefties. This is the second time in three season that has been the case. But it’s way friendlier to lefties in terms of hitting homers.

      By ThomasTomasz · Posted

      As someone who attended 15 games this year in section 80, and watched numerous games on TV, I might have had the chance at 3 home runs.   RHB are trying to work the ball towards the bullpen versus dead pulls.   OPACY, due to the summer humidity, is still the homer dome in the summer time.  But this was supposed to be our benefit to stack the lineup with LHB, and it was also proved that a team could stack their playoff roster with LHP to neutralize it.   I think the dimensions are going to be the way they are for a while, and I think the pitchers are going to be fine with it overall.  There were far too many ‘cheap’ home runs from RHB on high pop ups, but also off the end of the bat from LHB.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      The Diamondbacks have 125 million in 10 players. Would they really want to have at $155-$165 million in 11 players of a $199 million payroll (their 2023 amount)?   https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/payroll/_/year/2025/sort/cap_total2
