This is a lock. Back up the Brinks trucks. Download the betting apps. Take the signup money and bet the Yankees to sweep the series, Judge over 2.5 HR, Yankees over 25.5 runs, and lastly Josh Donaldso

It's the reverse lock thread, an OH tradition.

Haha, I’m pretty sure DeNiro would beg to differ.   

Funny, for some inexplicable reason I always imagined you’d look like Fred McGriff or Randy Milligan.  I was greatly disappointed!

For some reason, I’ve always envisioned @Sports Guy as looking like a cross between Napoleon Dynamite and Roger Daltrey.  😇

@sportsfan8703 IMO, is like, a 12 year old kid who hacked the password to the family computer after his parents went to bed and has had too much sugar and caffeine.  

In case you're wondering who I resemble, here's a semi accurate portrayal.

I'm not sure what's more concerning - That this was your go-to picture or that no one bats an eye that this was your go-to pic?

I kind of do hate this matchup even if we miss Cole. The Yankees hit Kremer very well (I think Judge has 3 HR off him alone), Cortes absolutely owns us up, down, and sideways, and by game 3 we'll be hoping to just avoid the sweep. 

This is not my favorite opening schedule. Starting in the cold in Boston and opening at home vs the Yanks. Classic MLB scheduling. Meanwhile the Rays are 6-0 after facing Detroit, Washington, and Oakland. Sure, okay.

So if I understand you correctly, you think that the MLB scheduler is, to borrow a phrase from Earl Weaver, "is here just to **** us?"

Though after this series we play 22 straight games against teams that were .500 or below last year.

      Elias on contract extensions

      Gunnar is the only one you worry about. I would still sign Holliday as well but I think Gunnar is the bigger fish to fry. I no longer would consider an extension for Adley. I would wait on anyone else.

      Something that doesn't show up on the stat sheet is something like being able to hit behind the runner to advance him.   The O's have been successful in building an analytics offense.   Focus on hitting homeruns, develop a swing to achieve optimum launch angle and exit velocity to hit the ball over the fence.  Result is they have a team of beer league software players and not baseball players and struggle to score when not hitting homeruns.   Analytically, if you review their offensive rankings for the season, it says, nothing wrong with the offense, at least from a macro review, but we all know that this offense has issues.   Runs - 4th Home runs - 3rd AVG - 7th OBP - 11th SLG - 3rd OPS - 4th  K's - 18th (this was interesting to see considering how much they seem to strikeout) All of the above looks good, nothing to fix. The O's had 6 sacrifice hits for the season, ranking 30th.  Interestingly, Arizona who led the league in runs scored also led the league in sacrifice hits with 34.   The O's do not need to necessarily to focus on small ball, but they do need to be able to add that skillset to their offensive arsenal.

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      By waroriole · Posted

      Sounds like Buck. Anything to get a slight advantage. It’s something this team sorely misses.

      Detroit has been so much fun to watch. They have Skubal and literally 11 completely interchangeable pitchers who Hinch uses at any time and in any situation. They all can start games, throw in middle relief, and close. Every Tigers pitcher has to be ready to come in at any time because nobody other than Skubal actually has a defined role, which can certainly help keep them focused.  That guy Holton who started Game 1 in Cleveland closed Game 3 yesterday.  Of course he did! And Hinch seems to have complete faith in everybody, which I guess works since they all seem to have rubber arms and never get tired. It must be so annoying as an opposing manager to try and game plan against them or to be a hitter and have absolutely no idea who you are going to be facing until you actually walk up to the plate.  Not sure how long this "gimmick" will last, but it has been really enjoyable.

      So if Westburg ends up being a very good but not MVP level player you aren't interesting in extending him at a team friendly rate? I disagree with your strategy. If you can lock up even a young 3 win player at a team friendly rate I say do it.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By Chromehill · Posted

      The most obvious player to extend is Gunnar, his agent is Boras, which means most likely, he will not be interested in an extension.  All others, you have to wait and see.  Adley after that horrible second half, you really need to see if he bounces back.  Westburg, need a full season before locking him up, plus he would probably want a season to post big numbers.  Cowser, wait and see if he learns the strike zone before extending.

      I agree with you on Gunnar. I'd wait on Westburg until he puts up a Gunnar like season, and spend money on Burnes this offseason. Oh and do something temporary to bring the RF wall in 10-15 feet
