538 currently has us at 7% odds to make the playoffs.............and projects our 'average' final record to be 76-86.    Pretty incredible even if we end up with 'only' 76 wins when we are in the last year of the big tear down.

Somehow, I’ve never seen The Sandlot.  

There's a guy I worked with before he retired a few years ago.  Big baseball fan, Orioles fan.  Had never seen the Sandlot and we ribbed him about it all the time.  We'd be in meetings and reference Sandlot quotes or something about Wendy Pfferkorn or Smalls, and be like "oh, you don't know what that is..."

Maybe it’s a function of when the movie came out (1993).   At that point I had two kids under 4 years old and babysitters were scarce, plus I was doing a ton of international business travel, including on weekends.   To the extent we got out to the movies in that period,  a baseball movie wouldn’t have been high on my wife’s list.   And I never heard much about it, so I haven’t really ever been looking to see it.   Maybe I’ll need to now.

I actually hadn’t seen it until about 5 years ago.  It’s great and it’s on all the time.

Yeah, I was in my late 20s in '93, still a few years from having kids, so The Sandlot wasn't on my radar. Watched it a few years ago and thought it was OK, nothing special. But I can see how kids who grew up with it might love it. I was just born at the wrong time.

We might never lose again 😁

Just kidding but boy is this fun! I’d love to see the streak reach the streak the A’s had back when Tejada was with them. 

Go O’s 👍

So if we win out , we may win the AL East at 118-44 

The Yankees would have to go 57-17 to beat us out by a game

Since they would be 0-6 in the second half against Baltimore, they would have to go 57-11 in their remaining games to beat us out by a game.

I didn't watch it when it came out, I was in college or just graduated.  It was probably 10-15 years ago when I first saw it.

My golfing buddies get on me the same way for never seeing Caddyshack.

      Hurricane Milton is looking scarier by the minute

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      Just did a bit of a walk. Some decently large braches down, one segment of privacy fence missing and standing water on the property in a low spot.

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Not that I am in any way full agreement, but this is a classic post.  Doesn't Machado play chess?  Maybe we could get some chess boards in the clubhouse and junk all the legos.  Not all great baseball men are John McGraw bad asses.  Some can be Christy Mathewsons as well, I suppose.  Not that I imagine today's young players much resembling McGraw or Mathewson, but they are the first two contrasting old school types that come to mind.  I will say just based on his postseason alone I'd much rather have Tatis over Machado.

      Well I refuse to believe that only the O's have no players that want extensions.

      Will MASN be among these soon ? MLB taking over TV broadcasts of 3 teams

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Customer advocate groups have tried for decades to force the cable companies to allow channel by channel (a la carte) subscriptions, but the cable companies fought this because it would result in far less revenue (than forcing us to pay for a hundred channels we don't watch).  The government refused to intervene, so we've been stuck with the existing business model for all this time.  Streaming is forcing the change because streaming -- for now -- is an a la carte model.   MLB's fear must be this: if the regional sports network cable channel model goes away, will most users pay anywhere close to what these channels made as part of a cable bundle for just one streaming channel where all you watch are Orioles games (or maybe Orioles and Nats games -- whatever the case may be)?  So if you pay $100/month for cable with MASN, you are probably watching at least a few other channels too.  But will you pay $15/month (or whatever the price may be) just to watch the Orioles -- even during the months when there is no baseball?  The existing basic cable model has been quite stable because people tend to watch at least 5 or 6 channels.  They're reluctant to cancel their whole cable package just because baseball season is over -- or they've been too busy to watch many games this season.  But with a single streaming channel of just baseball there is bound to be a far more unstable revenue base.  All the streaming channels are already dealing with this problem.  I think MLB is maybe reluctant to go all in on streaming for this reason.  Perhaps they're looking for new different model that could allow them to bundle individual team channels with Netflix, or Prime, or maybe with your cell phone plan or something else.  This could give them some stability, but it could also be a turn off for the more hardcore fans who just want the Orioles and little else.  It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out and if MLB, and the Orioles, will prosper or suffer as a result.
