I just downvoted SG to see if he really cares about it or not.

This board is such a throwback (in a good way). Most sites now are impersonal/anonymous and reward the low-hanging jokes. Not OH 😆. I remember reading OH in the mid-2000s as a kid and being too intimidated to post because of all of the big personalities and high-effort posts.

About the downvote, I think it's easily confused. Reddit is probably the most visible site with that feature. There, it isn't flagging the post as offensive, it's more like, "I don't like the sentiment of this and will use my say in the hive mind to vote against it." But there's a reason why most sites exclusively have the like feature but not dislike/downvote: people feel insulted by it. I certainly think it's plausible that there are people here who are using the downvote as disagreement and not a rebuke.

I encourage people who have been posting here for awhile to remember that the norms of the internet today are different than when OH was created. I appreciate that people here are willing to talk these things through in DMs.

I actually think I insulted OldFan in some way but I can't remember why I would've.  I'm pretty positive I deserved the infraction lol.  I always liked Greg even after that.  

Hey, I got banned for a year for saying stuff to atomic in a not nice way and was actually defending either the site or Tony. Sometimes, some people are just worth it.  I can see how you could have had a similar situation happen to you there.  :)

I remember first posting here.  @DrungoHazewood intimidated the **** out of me.  

No, I am not joking when I say that.

I had oldfan on /ignore

My favorite OH move was sponsoring the Nick Markakis baseball reference page for like 100 bucks a year.  Except on the dedication page I said that I was OldFan on the Orioles Hangout and that he was my favorite player.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      ???. Cowser took more swings against LF than any other LH hitter on the team ( not named  Henderson). He was one of the guys they did not platoon.

      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By Big O · Posted

      I think Kevin Seiyltzer was the fall guy for a team that thought they were a championship team.  This guy has overseen more a decade of hitting in Atlanta, has been through developing and helping young batters succeed when the league adjusts.  Most importantly, he has a ring!

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.
