Runners=Runs=Points. Don't take your frustrations out on me.

Dude, didn't you play professionally, or do I have you mixed up with someone else? Nobody I've ever met calls runs anything other than runs in baseball. I can't believe you double downed on that statement.

You have me mixed up with someone else. 

In sports you need points to win and what ever you call points, they are still points. Runs, like all points, are what is used to score a sports game. This is a fact. Having a pissy fit over the word of what it's called is ridiculous.

It is actually not a fact, and credibility matters.  No one scores points in baseball, they score runs-it's always been that way and it always will.

Trust me when I tell you will lose a whole lot of credibility with baseball fans here if you don't know the difference between point and runs. What's ridiculous is someone who literally doesn't use the correct term and then instead of actually just saying, "My bad, i meant runs" actually is defending his usage. 

What do you call it when a football team gets the ball across the goal line, a home run? Have you ever in your life said the Ravens won 27 runs to 14? No, because the terms are used differently. Everyone know in baseball you score runs, not points.

    • That joke was probably in a lot of people’s heads but those people decided not to go there.  We’ll give you a mulligan. P.S. Not for nothing but if I’m walking up behind a teammate with a bat in his hand I’m making enough noise until he looks and sees me there.
    • Guys like Bradfield and Beavers aren't as valuable as Ortiz was last year. Right now we have 3 prospects rated at or better (and they are all better) than Ortiz last year: Mayo, Basallo, and Kjerstad. Can we afford to deal one of those three for another rental TOR this off-season?   As of today, I wouldn't feel great about that.
    • I don't think those guys are going to get you anything near TOR. I don't think we can afford to annually give up a couple top 100 prospects for a rental TOR- at least not yet. Plenty were willing to part w Cowser last year, but how would we feel about our OF situation this year, and going forward, without Cowser in the mix?
    • Idiots looking for attention on social media are claiming Mullins did it on purpose.  Where are we at in society?  Also, @Roy Firestone attempt at a joke just now is pathetic. Hoping for the best for Jorge - if it is a concussion, they are never fun (I've had way too many).  Also, hope Cedric is able to move past this freak accident and focus on getting his hitting going.  We need him.
    • That on deck swing that Mullins hit Mateo with... was probably Mullins best contact with a bat  on the day.
    • I think the Ubaldo Jimenez contract is still the largest the O's have ever given out to a free agent starter.   Personally, I think it makes more sense to spend big on an elite free agent starter than on elite position players.   Of course they have to be cautious in how and who they identify as elite, but I think they should bid for Burnes, and not just a token bid -- a real bid.
