The title sounds like a romance novel.

Isn’t it technically a 4 game series 2 home 2 away     I dig the streak.  To me it just stands for consistently playing baseball at a high level. I’m not gonna lose any sleep when it gets sn

It's basically not what I said.

Re-read your comment and realize that the only way you “stop having to hear about it” is for us to..you know, get swept. Perhaps you continue to think people put words in your mouth because you don’t understand what you are saying.

Well what does that tell you son? I’m not trying to come down on you, but usually patterns are indicative of…you know, something you might want to consider?

In spleen's defense, people could just stop talking about it. Probably not going to happen though.

It’s a badge of honor for the team and for fans. Why would people stop talking about accolades for a team you care about?

Because they got swept in the playoffs.

Well regular season accolades haha. I get your point but it’s still a badge of honor and in doing so ensures our ability to get back to the playoffs. Hopefully this time with better results.

For me, getting swept in the playoffs takes any shine off the regular season accomplishment.  For me, it's a reminder they got swept out of the playoffs.

I’m sorry to hear that. Yeah those were dark days for sure but all the more satisfying when we have a better showing this year. I have a funny feeling about this team. I think they are going to shock the world beating the dodgers in 6.

Like a lot of folks on here, you put words in my mouth. Good job.

I wish it would end because I'm tired of hearing about it. This team is good enough for it to go on a lot longer, too, so that makes it even worse.

 

Those are your words. Apologies for ribbing you a bit over the thing that you actually said.

That is what I said. But what I said is not what you said I said. It's pretty easy. #12.

I'm assuming you're saying that you want the talking about the streak to end, not the streak itself. Your actual wording was ambiguous enough to be taken either way, hence my teasing. However, have it your way. Please add to whatever it is you're counting.

      Brandon Young 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      BP profiled him today: Brandon Young, RHP, Baltimore Orioles Listed Height: 6-foot-6 Listed Weight: 210 pounds DOB (Age): August 19, 1998 (25) Pitch Velo Spin IVB HB Total % Whiff% 4-Seam Fastball 93.5 2124 18.0 -4.8 131 48.7 31.8 Changeup 85.5 1730 9.8 -13.3 64 23.8 22.9 Curveball 75.7 2723 -14.4 11.5 34 12.6 40.0 Slider 85.4 2048 5.4 5.5 26 9.7 12.5 Sweeper 79.5 2084 1.7 11.5 14 5.2 11.1 Injuries limited Young to just 53 1/3 innings between 2022 and 2023. Upon return to action last year, he flashed increased velocity. That velocity bump has carried over to 2024. Now, Young’s fastball has borderline-average velocity (previously below-average) but above-average carry and extension (6.6 feet). It is further aided by strong command. After his fastball, which is by no means a world beater, Young has a smattering of average secondaries. He primarily relies on a changeup–really his only secondary with above-average potential–that has solid velocity (8 mph), vertical movement (8+ inches), and horizontal movement (8+ inches) separation from his fastball. Both his breaking balls either lack enough power (curveball) or depth (slider/cutter) to be viable putaway pitches at the MLB level. His seldomly-used sweeper has potential, but it has had little success so far. Young adds to the depth of the deepest system in baseball, yet he very well may just be that–depth–likely without an above-average offering. Of course, he could become a viable fantasy arm even with mediocre stuff due to his command and control.

      Interesting Article About Scott Boras and Orioles

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      If I sell someone a house, I don’t advise them to buy the most expensive house because that means more money for me. I get to know the client, understand what’s important for them and advise them based off of that. That’s how you should always handle a job like that imo. Your wallet should not be part of the equation.

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      This goes back to a discussion I had before.     Since Stowers likely doesn’t have great trade value, do you keep him and trade Kjerstad instead?  Even if you think HK is better, can he get you a way better player and Stowers give you 80-90% of what HK can give you? It’s possible you have room for both too.  Just saying if you decide to trade an OFer, maybe this is the smart way to go?

      What I thought was best for my client. Which would depend on what my client has told me he wants. If he wants to maximize earnings I tell him to test free agency.
