Angels in town with 21 losses in a row directly in the crosshairs.

The funny part is that we have 3 other teams not far off from us.  They could win less than 60 games and pick 3rd or 4th.

And that's why the strategy gets less effective for each team that employs it.

At least the owners still get the benefit of a greatly reduced payroll.

Better get one Tuesday or Thursday if we don't want to end up tying the record.

 

 

 

Rays in town Friday and you can chalk that one up as a loss.  Could be #22.

I don't want OUR record! I want the all-time ML record! 26. Or 27 to break it. Angels and Rays could get us a LOT closer to it.

 

The modern ML record is 23. We could get that...

The deal-breaker may have been the Orioles' insistence that Ohtani start in AA and brought along slowly, getting to the majors only after he showed that he was fully ready. ☺️

I’d love to see a link for that. I remember Angelos being against paying the posting fee. They were never in on any players who were posted by NPB.

One of the many ways he shortchanged the franchise.

I bought tickets 3 months ago to take my wife to the game this Saturday against the Rays, and it will be her first game at Oriole Park.  We are coming all the way from Texas, and it looks like we might have a chance at seeing us tie the modern record for futility.  Not what we envisioned when we bought them, but it might be historic nonetheless!

I have tickets to the game Ohtani is pitching.   Very excited to see him.  

Doom and gloom about the Orioles aside, Ohtani is some thing baseball hasn’t seen in 100 years.

He’s amazing, and he seems to be humble and modest about it: he’s not a Reggie Jackson, “I am the straw that stirs the drink” kind of guy.

BTW, F Reggie Jackson…

I wish I were going to, what part of Texas are you in? I’m in north Texas in a little town called Plano.

BTW Usually I hate days off, but today I don’t care. I just hope Spencer Watkins pitches with better luck tomorrow. He’s been squeezed by the umpire and let down by the defense, And we can sacrifice a couple of chickens to insure that doesn’t happen tomorrow.

Hasnt been 100 years yet.

Did you forget Babe Ruth?

He was pitching through the 20s and even pitched 9 innings in 1930 and 1933.

    • Baring injury Adley gets more War. Who do you want up to bat in a winner take all playoff game? Who do you want behind the plate with a Rickey Henderson type on first base in a tie ballgame 9th inning? I really bought into the switch hitting Jesus thing with Wieters.  This disappointment (perhaps misguided) led me to really not want to use a 1/1 draft pick on a catcher.   I am kind of wishing we went with Witt.   I think I heard people saying the most important position on defense is catcher.  So how does it compare to SS or Centerfield.   Would you be better off using Rick Dempsey type all glove and arm with light bat or going all in on a 1/1 on a catcher? If this has already been discussed tons dont yell at me I sometimes go months or weeks without posting.  
    • Glad Bob Melvin and I don’t see eye to eye on that issue Well said, that make two of us, Bunting Ced down 5-3 with nobody out that late in the game is absurd.
    • Sorry to hear this--wishing you a sound recovery, in time for the O's run to the Series! (That would speed up the healing!)
    • Santander is a good case for the Rule V draft. That's unfortunately the same system that's going to make his next contract potentially look bad. If only he were a couple of years younger. It's hard to commit 25+M to a player at 30+. He's going to be missed in Baltimore, on the field and by the fans, but he's someone that they're going to have to let move on. 
    • While I agree and find your comment funny, maybe just say something along the line of”Don’t give up on this team” or “Quite being Debbie downers” instead of assuming they are projecting the own misery in their lives. People might take it better if it doesn’t feel like a personal attack. Either way, that win felt good and I HOPE this is finally the turning point going into the playoffs soon. 
    • I've made it clear that if they don't sign Santa and Burnes I'm ok with it as long as the money is allocated to other players they feel that fits their profile better .You know you have people on here like SG who only hears what he wants to hear. I need to learn to ignore that guy.
