Rangers in 5.

In what way are they hot? Because they win 2 straight against Tampa? They finished the season 18-24. And choked the division away by losing 3 out of 4 to Seattle to end the season.

Just a bad feeling. I liked Texas to come out of the AL before the series started. They’re hot. 

They lost 3/4 to Seattle coming into the playoffs, they were dominated, and they lost the chance to win the division. That's how hot they were. They got hot in the last two games, I guess.

They are analysts for ESPN.

In reality, this is baseball's way of having the Yankees represented in this year's playoffs.  😁

I hope they don't call any of the Orioles' series.  A-Rod by default will probably show his face during the WS.

The O's games will all be on Fox or FS1, so I expect that we won't get Kay or G-Rod doing the game calls.

I don't know what all the Rays hatred is about... I would have preferred they won the WS if it isn't going to be us. I certainly prefer a team that is built through their systems as opposed to buying a title. So hopefully that will be us.

I'd rather we played the Rays too. At least they didn't spend half a billion dollars in the off-season or whatever.

I just don't get the owners spending money = bad mentality.

It beats owners cosplaying Scrooge McDuck.

I don't agree with the Scrooge thing either, but I've never been a fan of the Yankee way of buying championships, it rarely works, so we have that going for us I guess, which is nice.

It’s weird. The fans on here cry about Angelos NOT spending money. They want the Orioles to spend money…they just don’t appear to want anyone else to spend money. 

I would have been furious if we signed deGrom for 185M dollars. I also never complain that they don't spend money. It would be nice if they'd lock up some of the young guys, but that's not a thing for this team.

      The on field product has the talent to win and bring out fans now.  I’m not saying not to spend more money.  Your first paragraph I agree with. The new owner assumes all the “debts” leftover. Ultimately it’s their responsibility to repair it.    They screwed up big time with their pricing. If this team rebounds and gets in the DS the excitement will pick up. Only the last week did they have any momentum after months of losing it.

      That’s a very good point, but then you have the question whether you would be willing to give up McDermott plus for erceg, and that’s an easy trade to make. Plus, the athletics need almost everything, they wouldn’t want Hays But we could’ve found something to satisfy them.

      IMO, this mindset ("new chapter") is part of the problem. We can't act like the past and the terrible relationship that the org had with it's customer base does not matter or have a carryover effect. Whether the org calls itself "new" or not IMO is irrelevant. The issue is whether or not it will operate in enough meaningful different ways. If the org wants more of it's market to be engaged it is going to have to raise the bar to championship expectations and invest more in the on-field product. That would be different from the past and would indeed reflect that something is "new".

      All of you guys talking about empty seats and an unengaged fanbase - did you not see the post showing over 41K in attendance, more than in MIL or HOU?  Are those fan bases also unengaged or disinterested? This is much ado about absolutely nothing.

      I think at this point its just semantics regarding what a successful deadline looked like.  Elias upgraded three positions - SP, 2 RP.  Could there have been bigger upgrades?  Sure, at a bigger cost.  I think it was sufficient.  What has killed the team is the hitting.  If this team had hit like its capable of, and Soto, Eflin, and Dominguez all pitched exactly as they have, we'd all be feeling a lot better about the team, and probably lauding Elias for those three pickups and what a great boost they were at the deadline.  But we aren't hitting - at all - and I don't know what he could have done at the deadline to fix that. Already agreed that the draft strategy must evolve. I don't agree it was a bad strategy to do what they did so far, but it does have to evolve, just as the organization as a whole has evolved.  And I think it will.

      I don't mean this as any kind of personal slight toward you. Please do not take this as such. But people/fans showed how they felt about this team who has been a loser for almost 4 months. And largely continued to hedge (beyond the Eflin addition) at the deadline. I bet you who did not have a bunch of empty seats for their playoff game yesterday .... San Diego. IMO it is because of the effort that they put in to continue to engage the fanbase. You can't sell people on the "homegrown" stars idea and no need to add a lot of outside talent. And then some of those "homegrown stars" who were so hyped flop. And then not extend the ones who turn into stars. That communicates a lack of investment by the org. Now when you add that up in the economy/2024 inflation and combine that with all of the other entertainment choices that people have in 2024; things like this will happen. Empty seats during a playoff game = an unengaged/unexcited fan base. The org has to own much of this.
