The best part of any messageboard is arguing about if  a topic is in the right section or thread and chastising the people who put it in the supposedly wrong place.  You don't really even need baseball content when you have that.

Or when the appropriate time is to show appreciation for a beloved Oriole.

Agreed. Because, heaven knows those of us here who are men are generally tidy, organized and neat creatures in all parts of our lives. 

Some of us married women who wouldn't put up with that stuff and trained us in the ways of cleanliness and organization.

My computer desktop has like three icons.  Anything more and I lose my mind.  I see people who have icons on every square inch of their screen and just assume they're a mess in all aspects of life.

But I can do without the messageboard police telling me a thread is too prospect-centric to be on the main board.  That's a step too far!

I don’t really disagree with you but this board has a tendency to get cluttered with very similar threads.  Actually good threads get pushed down the site because we have 7 threads about the lineup or how this team is a contender or whatever.

I think having some level of order and organization makes sense.

My computer desktop has so many icons they are layered on top of each other.

Also, Gunnar is so good he deserves two threads on this topic.

I'm "the neat one" who is unreasonably organized and almost an obsessive planner at my house. I get razzed for it by my two teen daughters and my wife.

    • So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???
    • Me too. Driving 4 hours to have a father daughter date. Can't wait!
    • The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.  
    • Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.   
    • How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.
    • It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.
    • That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.
