I haven't been this excited since... well... Sunday. :cussing:

haha great post. I've been trying to keep my hopes down and I have refused to post on OH, despite spending hours every day checking for updates. But after seeing ESPN actually mention the O's today, I am becoming optimistic. If this doesnt end soon, Im gonna need to go get some ROLAIDS.

Lots of signs pointing to the fact that something MAY get done today...

I want to be excited...but my heart has been broken in days past when we thought it was the day...and it wasn't. All signs so far have my interest peaked, but I don't want to get strung out on this thread again. It took me a week to stop the shakes last time we thought something was going to happen.

I'm glad I'm done finals and school for break, so now I can just keep refreshing this page for news. Except for the times when I have to eat or drink. Hopefully this saga does not last too long. Also I love that Spongebob Squarepants video above, exactly what it will be like when Tex signs here.

I was just listening to Boston sports radio and they had Ken Rosenthal on and he said that the 4 teams still involved from most likely to least were..

1) Sox

2) Angels

3) Nats

4) Yanks

He never even mentioned the Orioles and said that the wildcard would be the Nats since he thinks they will offer the most.

Can't believe the Orioles are continually written off.

I do not take anything he says seriously. I just have a hard time liking the guy. I think his coverage in general is just not good and really incomplete.

Anyone agree?

      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.
