Message for Tony Oh - I feel deeply aggrieved for 1 point ban imposed by Legend of Joey

Saw her walking around Columbia Mall when she was set to appear at Merriweather Post, mid-90's.  Had a bodyguard with her bigger than the Mountain (Oriole or Game of Thrones, take your pick).  Not approachable.

She was probably worried about getting slimed.

I wish there was a way to see if someone had a different OH screen name before. I realize it doesn’t work if someone uses two different email addys to register, but it sure would save me a lot of time figuring out whose opinion to ignore. 😀  (I rarely /ignore posters, right now I think there are only two serial offenders that just don’t provide me with anything either useful or entertaining)

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.  

ScottieBaseball dinged me twice, once for blaming something on George Bush.  My crime was breaking the no politics rule.  Bush was president at the time and I blamed everything on him although that didn't necessarily need to be about politics.  Often it was that George Bush reminded me of every entitled, drunken Texas frat boy I detested while I was at TCU and he was always in the news so I couldn't escape him.  But.... unpersuasive.

My second infraction came, I believe, for calling someone a "ridiculous twat".  I don't remember if it was another poster or someone else, but there is a no name-calling rule here.  And rightly so no matter how richly deserved (or accurate) it might be.

I think there have been two major changes in hosting software in the fifteen years I've been posting and it looks like this latest iteration makes neg repping no longer a blood sport (not that it ever was much of one in the first place).  So no harm, no foul Chelsea Phil.  It's really no big deal.

OldFan could be maddening.  He produced some epic posts, though.  Some of my favorites were: How a certain player "didn't have a good name for baseball," how "walks weren't manly," and how people shouldn't bring children to the stadium.  He was the living embodiment of the meme "old man shakes fist at cloud."

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

No, I am not joking when I say that.

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.  

@DrungoHazewood still intimidates me... he is also my favorite poster.  My one disagreement with him over all these years has been the inexplicable shade he threw on "Field of Dreams" by not recognizing it as the greatest movie of all time.

I thought the book was better.

Movie wimped out on not having J. D. Salinger.

There was probably some obscure baseball film from the 1890's that he liked better.

    • ???. 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.
    • 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! 
    • Glad one poseur AL team is out.  I hope CLE wins and knocks the other one out tomorrow. 
    • 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.
    • 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.
