Yeah, greed > everything for many people. It's a shame.

I find the practice annoying myself but for some folks it's less greed and more making rent and putting food on the table.

Singer looks like all the Oriole starters from 2018-2021

And 1998-2011.

Singer averaging 40 pitches an inning.   I figure he has got one more in him.  LOL

It was a joke

CoC is not known for his sense of humor and understanding context!

I couldn't tell.

I'm not blaming my sense of humor for the miscommunication.

I mean, if you can spend money for a ticket and 3 hours at the game to get the bobblehead to sell for 75 bucks, you could have probably made 3x that just by going to work.

To be fair, baseball savant is only making that prediction based on how hard it was hit and launch angle, it's not taking outfielder positioning or how much ground the fielder had to cover into account. 

Agreed, it's not a perfect metric to judge, but if you want to find a .510 xBA play where the outfielder made a nice play, but it was because he made it a nice play by misplaying, feel free to show me.

Don't try and stop CoC's bleeding heart. People got to eat man. They gotta get there early, pay $35 bucks for a seat, then get a bobblehead and put it EBAY to eat man. things are rough out there!

/shrug.

It isn't how I'd make my living but there is a market for the product. 

I think the folks willing to pay big premiums on collectables are as much at fault.

OMG and now he's comparing Derek Jeter to Cal Ripken?

Ugh.

Opportunity cost.

I loved Roberts the player.  He's actually why I started following the O's.  He's doing a good color job.

[Gurgi]

Everyone remember when Brian Roberts gave HIMSELF a concussion by smashing a bat against his helmet after he struck out?    Good times.

Clearly to you that's correct. I have little doubt you 100% had an issue with a throw away comment in a game thread that called this a "revenge" game for a player who might possibly want revenge for the team that released him.
