The Mark Teixeira Watch part III

This is nowhere close to important to me. If it comes up, it'll be because a Red Sox fan bearing pink apparal has decided to strike up a "conversation" in Camden Yards.

Cant wait to go home to Massachusetts in a week and let everyone know.

Does anyone think there is any chance whatsoever that Tex has read any of these posts on OH or that he sees the petition that 105.7 is doing in hopes of us signing him? I can tell you this, if I were a free agent and I saw that my home team was doing all of these things just to try and sign me, it sure would mean a lot to me and would help make my decision easier to come home despite the fact that other, more competitive teams have offers out there for me.

At Tex's press conference, when Ravich or Gammons asks him:

"How close were you to signing with the Red Sox?"

Tex replies:

"I never was considering the Red Sox. Since they screwed me coming out of high school, I swore I would never wear a Red Sox uniform. Now I can directly compete against them and help my team, the Orioles, become the Beast in the East once again."

Ok, I can dream can't I?

How SWEET would that be!!!!!!!!!:D

I'm going to be at Opening Day and if I hear, "Now welcome you're new first baseman, Mark Teixeira," I'm going to tear up a little. Honest to God, this thing as been on my mind for 3 years and to see it come to fruition would make me very emotional.

I feel the same way....this is unbelievable! Don't Stop Believin' Baltimore...Don't Stop Believin'.

    • Let's be honest, Gunnar ain't finishing second either.
    • Yeah, I don't think the Orioles' struggles against NL teams is very meaningful, but I do think the NL is stronger this year.  All the NL division leaders have looked formidable and steady throughout the season.  But also the Padres and Mets have kicked their seasons into another gear and have really impressed over the past couple of months.  Compare them to the Wild Card teams in the AL, and they just appear more formidable on paper.   Also the DBacks are pretty much outhitting everyone right now -- though that's been offset by their not so effective pitching.  
    • For sure he is out of consideration as the MVP favorite to copy Cal.  Of course,  Cal didn't have an Aaron Judge to compete with.  The runner-up in MVP voting in 1983 was a guy named Eddie Murray.  Eddie had more HR, more RBI, a higher slugging and OPS than Cal, but Cal had a higher WAR and batting average (.318 to .303).  I wonder if Eddie is bitter about losing the MVP to Cal?  A case could be made for either one. 
    • Going to lookup splits before/after AS break for 2024, but my gut tells me the O’s faltered against the NL Central division the last two years. Let’s see how October plays out!
    • I've heard folks I trust a lot here report on him as being good but on a gut level those plays bugged me too. I think Holliday is sufficient alone as a 5th infielder as a playoff roster gets configured, and believe in series you get injury replacements if Urias re-rolls the ankle or Gunnar breaks somebody else's arm.    Rivera and Soto are kind of both about that speed. From comments we know Urias, Westburg, Mountcastle the probable return order, but TBD on the Rivera, Soto, Eloy departures.    I think there's some value to Coby Mayo staying around even if he just watches ala '70 Grich "did not play in series".
    • He missed a cycle by inches on one of the doubles.
