This is a juice to squeeze before its too late.   Both Northern-born dominators of AA a half year at 23 with excellent hit suppression, and were 300-some innings deep into their pro careers when it ha

I just got to reminiscing on Bedard’s place in my Orioles fandom and my connection with OH. 2001 was a dark time to be an Orioles fan.   The O’s had let Mike Mussina get away that winter, and mos

First of all, I think I speak for a lot of posters when I say that I love your writing voice.    A lot of times I read posts without really looking first at who wrote them.   I’ll be reading one of yo

I have no idea what that means, and I have a college degree. Could you please explain and share please?

Wow, a college degree. 

Wow based offer-  Refers to the rumor that Angelos was offering a "Wow" offer that would convince Teixeira to sign with the Orioles.

Downfall clip-  In this context Downfall obviously refers to some form of video or audio clip. 

If were to google "Downfall parody" on Google you get a ton of various hits.

If you were to explore those links you should be able to figure out that someone used the available template to make a Downfall parody that had Hitler ranting about the O's wow offer to Teixeira.

 

I figure you went to college before Google was a thing but this is really basic stuff.

Philip, no reason it would mean anything to you unless you were posting here in 2008.  It relates to a fictitious movie clip in German where Hitler is yelling angrily at his staff and is clearly going out of his mind.    I forget the movie it comes from.   In the parody, there are subtitles ranting about the Orioles’ failure to land Teixeira.    Someone here put it together and it was very funny.

The movie was Downfall.

Oh, yes I’m very familiar with that, my late stepdaughter was in law school, when somebody had put a Law school oriented script to that video. Boy it was funny. What I remember Hitler screaming is “I want a Mercedes!”

so funny.

edit: Just tried to find it, but apparently it’s been taken down, I guess because everybody who graduated SMU in 2013 got their Mercedes.

Its an evergreen institution by now, for virtually anything.   The Teixeira one unseated an Axis and Allies one as my favorite.

I would love to be able to post the original, but don't know if it is still here.  I admit I have once or twice tried search strings here on OH like Teixeira Hitler but without success.

Depending on one's level of historical nerdiness a person may come across at different moments.  Literally in the last year, my mother-in-law and wife found it for something else, sharing enthusiastically with the regular Breaking News thrill, like seeing The Sixth Sense or Scream for the first time.

I think here I'm at a highwater mark for the Rogers Hornsby winter policy of staring out window waiting for baseball to return.

I've still got a ways to go.  January is by far the longest month.

Y'all can expect more music finds over on the appropriate forum as I tend to have extra spare time around now.

You shoulda been here for the Tejada/Javy not Pudge/Vlad breaking our heart/Palmeiro 2/Ponson 2 sequence 17 years ago.   Those were more lurker days for me, but the four weeks we hoped Tejada's coattails could catch Vlad were spirited.   

I found the OH with the first Vlad signing attempt.   Stayed up until 3am with dejected hope reading everything I could until I gave up and realized he was Angel to be.   
 

But lurked and read here for many years before posting anything at all.   Not sure I even “joined” those first few years.

Favorite Bedard moment off the field is when he told the media he was limiting them to three questions. One of them asked, “Why three questions?”

”That’s one.”

That's an old Irish trick I saw again recently in an old 50s flick with Sean Connery, Darby O'Gill and the Little People, where the king of the leprechauns uses it with the three wishes he grants Darby.

      I'm not disregarding his past performance, but in general recent performance is more relevant if it's a decent sample size.  140 PAs is a pretty high number.  It's been pretty clear for awhile now that what he was once good at he's not good at right now.  I'd rather see Kjerstad bat against lefties than Slater at this point.

      Os vs NL

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Today was, thankfully, the last games vs the NL this year…barring a WS run of course. The Os finish 19-26 (that’s a sub 70 win% seasons) vs the NL and were outscored by 42 runs.     That means vs the AL he has outscored them by about 115 runs and are 24 games over 500.

      It’s the quietest 879 in the history of baseball.

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      I disagree Mayo is one of the reasons the Orioles have not hit well.  Emmanuel Rivera, who has hit well with an .879 OPS since he joined the O's, has gotten the playing time over Mayo.

      I was sort taking that as a fait accompli. Signing expensive long-term free agent deals for one dimensional sluggers heading into their 30s definitely does not seem like Elias's style, especially when an extra high draft pick (and accompanying extra bonus pool money) is the reward for not doing so.

      The Defense Thread, 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Game 153, Sept. 19 Lots of notable defensive plays today.   Kjerstad made two excellent catches, one going back and towards the RCF alley that (per Kevin Brown) was a 50% probability catch, and another going back to the wall near the corner and making the catch at close to full speed.   Holliday snared a line drive at the top of his leap, and also made a nice backhand running catch of a soft fly into medium RF. Mullins made a diving catch in the 7th on a sinking liner that he got a great jump on.   In the 9th, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Heliot hit a liner in the RCF gap that carried much further than it first appeared it would.   Mullins and Slater dove for it simultaneously and Slater actually gloved it for a second before it popped out while Slater landed on Mullins.  Luckily, the two base runners totally misread the play, and after Slater quickly scrambled to his feet and threw the ball in, the runner originally on 2B scored but the runner on 1st only advanced to 2B, and the batter had to stop at first.  The O’s were able to keep any further runs from scoring. One thing I’ve noticed about Manny Rivera is that he’s very slow charging bunts and slow rollers/choppers. He handled one bunt and one chopper in front of him today and both times the runner beat his throw rather easily, something that has happened a lot when Rivera has manned 3B.   I’m more than ready to have Urias -and/or Westburg back at the hot corner.

      Don’t know what happened to him on here but I did meet him and some others from The Sun forums at the park on Matt Wieters first game as an Oriole. If I recall correctly his name was Patrick.  He seemed like a good dude but he did have his face painted and was wearing those big hulk hands…which did strike me as a little odd for a grown man but to each his own.
