Thought it might be interestibg to recap the six previous meetings between these teams. April 3: O’s 2, Rangers 0 — Kyle Bradish started this game and looked good but was struck in the foot by a

While I don’t think Hyde made many bad decisions or got out managed, I do feel the Frazier decision was dumb. That tells me all I need to know about how they feel about Westburg in this series.

Here come the Rangers, 90-72 during the regular season and 2-0 vs. Tampa, outscoring the Rays 11-1 in the two games.   During the season, the teams split 3-3, with the O’s taking 2 of 3 in Texas

Jeter, A-Rod and Ortiz on the pregame show with the anchorman is kind of Yankees-Red Sox monopoly.

Hard to watch. Though I will say Jeter is 10x more insightful and well-spoken that ARod and Ortiz. Seems Ortiz is just there as a sort of court jester.

Totally agree.   Ortiz is a clown who can't stop fauning all over the Rangers and Rodriguez gives us nothing.  Jeter very fair and insightful.

Unless I'm missing something, Ortiz hasn't said anything but the obvious. We'd be more dangerous with Bautista at the back end.

You know it's bad when Ortiz is doing the weather outlook for the MD area.  He couldn't point out Delaware on the map either.

Ortiz just said the O's and Twins are the same team..... Except Minnesota is better because they didn't lose their closer.  Lol

He said there are similarities. I think he was inferring that they are alike by not being perennial post season teams with something to prove, and he isn't wrong. I'm not a big Ortiz guy, but if you are going to drag him, do it in context, we're all watching the same feed, so you can't just be like Ortiz is hammering the O's when he isn't.

This is their third trip in the last five seasons, that ain't bad.  Way better than Boston over that time period.

First time winning a game in 20 years, though. They aren't a team with a lot of real playoff experience and they have a bunch of guys that nobody knows, there are similarities, records, and their superior pitching aside.

      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.
