Pretty sure you've violated about half a dozen posting rules. I love the expletive symbols combined with actual expletives.

It's kind of a thing on this board. Always has been. Is why Tony has always had the best board on the internet.

The irony of someone responding to a broadcaster that "hates everything" with this kind of rant. You're a real ray of sunshine yourself.

Didn’t realize using stern language would offend the masses in such a way. Kind of weird but I did go off so I get it I guess.

There certainly was a moment of cognitive dissonance when i read the OP. I thought I was back on Ravens 24X7 where many of the posts sound like the chatter in the men’s locker room at a Wall Street health club.

Sun board...

 

Rest in pieces...

I will say that Dave Johnson talked way too much. He seemed to feel the need to not have any infilled air. It was not a pleasing telecast to listen to. I much prefer Kevin Brown, Geoff Arnold, Brett Hollander, Ben McDonald, Brian Roberts, Jim Palmer and Melanie Newman. Garceau is such a nice guy, but makes a lot of mistakes. Johnson is certainly knowledgeable, but the game has passed him by. He makes Mike Bordick seem like a good announcer as he over-boogies his telecasts. Enjoy retirement, Dave.

Well, now I am kind of sorry I missed it. ?

I’m not offended (I don’t think anything offends me) but Tony doesn’t want that on the site.  It’s really just that simple.

Anyone who knows me or has met me personally knows I'm not offended in the least bit by cursing, but there's a place for that kind of stuff and this message board is not one of those places. I appreciate you though understanding and abiding by the rules from here on out.

There is an art to artistic insult, potent without cursing or screaming.

George Szell Was one of the most brilliant and hated musicians of the 20th century, I think He is the subject of the following anecdote shared between two other musicians who saw George walking by and commented. One of them said, “there goes George Szell, man he is his own worst enemy.” To which the other man replied, “not while I’m alive.”

Oh that makes me laugh every time.

I will say that this thread is no where near as entertaining now that the first post has been edited!  :)

Did we ever find out who OP was talking about? Unfortunately the interview does not appear to have made the game highlights on MLB.com. 

 

Yes, it was Dave Johnson.

And yes, technically, he is the "younger announcer".   Dave Johnson is 61.   So he is younger than Scott Garceau.

I heard the interview and didn't see too much to get upset about.   He asked Zimmerman about whether there were times when he couldn't get a feel for his changeup.   Zim said no, he did have that issue sometimes with his other pitches and then he relies MORE on his changeup, but he never has that problem with his changeup.   Johnson said that it did happen to him sometimes back when he pitched.   I don't think there was anything combative about it.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.

      I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.

      Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
