I would like to see an occasional change of approach when down 0-2. I dunno perhaps I am old fashioned.

Oh yeah, definitely. In years past, nearly every player would be taking Mountcastle's approach of live and die by the home run. Collectively, this team is more dynamic and can score in any number of ways. Mounty reminds me of the 2012-2016 stretch, though. Strike out and hit a lot of home runs.

Maybe he posted it on Facebook or something. People do weird stuff on Social Media. It's probably why I lasted about 6 minutes on any variety of it. The only twitter stuff I see is on this site.

But you'd have to be following them on Facebook right?

Why?  Put a gun to my head I couldn't tell you any of my HS teachers' names without guessing.

I used to see friends' posts of people they were following. The whole thing is creepy.

I'm just curious why you cared to know after 1986 that he was gay and smoked dope?

I've never checked up on a former teacher. 

He was arrested at his house in Baltimore County in the 90's for weed.  It was in the papers.  I did not care what he did.  I loved the guy.  My sister hated him but that is another story.

Also he was the landlord of a good friend of mine so I would hear about him later.

It’s so difficult to pay attention to the game with that hot waitress back there 

I've been married so long that I didn't even notice. I just had an epiphany. I think I've been trained without my knowledge.

    • Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.
    • Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role. 
    • Definitely leave the flag up. 
    • It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.
    • Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.
    • I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.
    • In the market and $$$ for SP = Mets, Cubs, BOS, WAS and SFG (depending on Snell opt-out).  That’s enough chairs when music stops for Burnes and Fried to cash in, and still ample for second tier Eovaldi, Manea, Kikuchi, Flaherty.
