I always thought she was really good.  Super strong knowledge of the game.  On top of what's going on.

My mother lived in upstate NY for 20 years before she passed away last year and I listened to a lot of Yankee baseball driving up and back, driving around up there, etc.  I've probably listened to Sterling/Waldman more than any other non Oriole anniversary announcing team.  I think they are both very good at the job though I have Sterling's schtick.

John Sterling, as in: The Yankees are the only MLB team to play 324 games a year, the 162 that actually happen and the 162 that John Sterling describes on the radio.

There are going to be times this year this team doesn't play well. We haven't had much of that this season, but it is inevitable. We'll have to weather the storms, they will pass.

It's still only the 6th inning. I'm pretty sure we've seen this team come back plenty this year.

Yeah, I'm not worried, just trying to talk all of the "we're getting swept people" off of the ledge. I said earlier, we've seen this movie 20 or so times and had some great plot twist endings.

Appreciate MLB.TV today. I can get the MASN video feed and the 98 rock radio feed synced up perfectly so that I don't have to listen to Melanie.

Plus still on my TV, there's all of the gameday stats that show the type of pitch/spin rate/break along with a strike zone map. Really an excellent product.

    • This is a really good post and I very much appreciate the optimism.  I am hoping to spend the offseason working on more effective ways to enjoy the team and to hopefully remember why I have loved them more than any other sports team for over 40 years. While the loss on Wednesday is not anywhere near my top 5 of worst Orioles losses ever (especially since 1997 and 2014 don't leave much room for anything else), I can genuinely say that I got less enjoyment out of this particular team and season than any that I can ever remember. From an entertainment standpoint, it just wasn't there at all for me this year. And even though it is probably immature, I don't know of a better word than resentment for how I felt towards these guys as these last three and a half months have played out. The two images that I will always have of this season are Cowser whiffing on the pitch that broke his hand and Adley looking at that 2-0 meatball with the bases loaded in Game 2. Those pictures captured the 2024 Orioles perfectly. Hoping my now much lower expectations bring more enjoyment in 2025.  
    • They bid on anyone with a posting fee yet? Only one team didn't even bother to make an offer for Ohtani.
    • Hasn't this narrative been retired yet?  It should be.
    • I’ve been in a mild state of sports depression since Wednesday. Angry and disappointed at what felt like, for me personally, the worst Orioles loss of my life time. But as I drove up to my house today, I looked at my Orioles flag, and I felt love. Love for the Orioles and love for the guys on this team. I remember getting a little emotional in 2018 when the previous core got blown up. I wondered if I’d be as invested with a new cropping of players. Well dammit, I ride with these dudes. They’ve ripped my heart out, but I believe in them. They’re young, they’re talented, and they play for each other. Growth is often not linear. Maybe Hyde can adjust, maybe he can’t. There’s plenty of questions now. It’s going to be long wait. And I have no idea if this team capitalizes on their potential. But I’ll be rooting for it. Because I love Baltimore, I love the Orioles, and I love these guys. I still don’t want to take down my flag just yet…. Go O’s!
