I don’t hate the uniforms, but I do hate losing.  I say turn up to tomorrow’s game in Twins uniforms.  Confuse the bastards.

we've lost three in a row...and played poorly in all of those games. We didn't wear those stupid ugly uniforms in every one of those games....we pitched poorly, hit poorly, and made some gaffes on the

Weaver managed in a different era.  Now even the bums are millionaires.  Weaver couldn't manage in today's game.

I wouldn't say that so cavalierly, Weaver was way ahead of his time in terms of data and scouting.  Talent transcends eras, I think Earl would do just fine.

These uniforms can stay in June where it looks like they belong. Hopefully last time we ever see them. And Thank God it's finally July 1

If they try this gimmick again, get it right and wrap the O's in the Maryland flag

He could have ..but would have had a stroke and died. 
 

They once asked Ty Cobb late in his life what he thought he would hit against today’s pitchers. 
The alltime great said “Oh probably .270” 

The interviewer said “I am surprised you would think it would be that low.” 
 

To which Ty repied. “well I am 73 years old”

I haven't seen this posted, and sorry if I'm repeating. 

The Athletic had a few writers rank the 20 City Connect unis that have been unveiled so far. The Orioles' PJs with frilly sleeves were 19th, ahead of the tied-for-last Rangers and Giants. 
 https://theathletic.com/4633605/2023/06/28/mlb-city-connect-uniforms-ranked/

ESPN ranked them 20th out of 20.

Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison aren't around, but I think hey would have liked the look.

They have nothing to do with June.   We are going to wear them for every Friday home game the rest of the year.

Nike paid a billion to MLB(~3M a season per team) in the most recent apparel deal.  The City Connect jerseys aren't going anywhere.

Looks like we’ll have to revise the old Milwaukee Braves chant….. White, Black or Orange or pray for rain!

We'll have to disagree.  Moreover, Paul Richards brought in the talent.

I believe he was referring to Weaver as the talent, not the players Richards brought in.  Weaver was using analytics before computers were a thing.  He definitely would have thrived as a manager in today's game.

I don't think he had the interpersonal skills to hack it.

As for being analytical?

Maybe, but La Russa was known for being ahead of the curve as a young manager and he sure couldn't adjust to the modern game.

      Trade for trout while his is stock is low. Bit of a gamble, but he's a leader that needs a change of scenery. He is our RF/ DH middle of the order RH bat to replace santander  If we can keep him healthy, he might be the veteran presence we need. We have the salary space for his contract

      Worst Orioles Loss of My Lifetime

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      I'm rooting against the Yankees this weekend. Hasn't gotten close to that point for me. The 2016 WC game was the worst because of the Britton situation. The 2014 Royals series was awful. I don't know that this loss was even as bad as last year's vs the Rangers where it felt like we could go all the way. This was just a wild card team vs a wild card team that could go either way, and some bounces didn't go our way and young players couldn't handle the pressure. It's best-of-3, it happens.

      Worst Orioles Loss of My Lifetime

      By gtman55 · Posted

      I'm older than most here. The pain of being a sports fan in Baltimore in 1969 make this year's playoff sweep seem trivial. All three of our local pro teams had great regular seasons. The Colts were a sure thing to beat the upstart Jets in Super Bowl III. No way the mighty Orioles would lose to the Mets in the World Series. And I thought for sure the Bullets might beat the Knicks in the NBA semifinals. Talk about long lasting pain ...

      Adley shares tough health admission

      By gtman55 · Posted

      Come on man, that's a crock. I've been as frustrated as anyone watching Adley's approach at the plate and his uppercut swing. But to say he's the kind of guy that makes excuses is way out of line. I have no doubt Adley will work on getting his body, swing and mind right in the off-season.

      The Savannah Bananas are coming to OPACY

      By NashLumber · Posted

      I was given three free tix to see them in Durham in '23. They oversold the tix, ie. the seats were not assigned, first come / first serve,  the line to get in was ridiculously long, and we had to stand in the miserable heat and humidity of a NC summer.  Worst baseball in person experience of my life. Just goofy from the little I got to see in the three person deep standing room only crowd. We left after three innings or whatever they call it in their version of the game. Way too loud, too. Just too much BS going on. It was like the baseball version of drinking WAY too much gin and fruit punch and the wild colors give you the bed spins.
