I don’t like or take kindly to podcasts or fans disparaging Orioles players by suggesting they place themselves above the team. You shouldn’t either. The amount of vitriolic comments posed by orioles fans, particularly ones marinated in the years of woe from previous managers/owners seems to have warped their brains into the hopeful shoe drop. I respond in kind like killing a fly with a swatter.

I think it's pretty juvenile to think that players never put themselves ahead of the team.

I have never been on a message board like this one, especially one where the team is actually good now like the Os, where there are some many vitriolic and mean spirited people towards other Orioles fans.  I mean, everyone is going to have differences of opinion but some here get so personal. 

I find it really off putting and odd.

I guess the harness racing boards are like My Little Pony episodes because this board is tame compared to most.

Some players, sure, but in what way do you suggest these guys are doing that? That’s why scouting is so important and it’s pretty clear Elias and company have a pretty specific player profile in mind. Again, don’t disparage our guys and there are no problems.

I'm just speaking in a general sense.

If players are doing it, odds are pretty good that sometimes it's guys that play for the team you like.

I don’t find anything I said to be mean spirited in any way. In actuality, I’m only sticking up for our team and attempting to thwart negativity. I do not like to see a team, filled with players that are undoubtedly good dudes, to be marred with the albatross of “he cares more about war than the team”. Screw that.

I find the amount of white knights running around pretty amusing.  Folks all over the internet like jumping in to defend things.

I don't think "our team" needs anyone sticking up for them.

But hey, to each their own.

It wouldn’t be a necessary evil if Orioles fans didn’t rejoice in shitting all over the team they presume to love and enjoy watching. Just look at this thread when a guy has a bad month. It is what it is. The circle of life. But you’re right it is pretty amusing.

I post on the Colts boards (which are pretty tame) and am a stock day trader so I am om many stock boards as well....stock boards where everyone is competing against everyone else to actually MAKE MONEY.   Real money.  Not just rooting for a team.  As in there is a real reason to kind of be a ****.  And it isn't near as bad there as it is here at times.

Horse racing boards I don't post on.  But most people in that business are very kind and wish well for others.  Kind of a big family.

I didn't mean you specifically at all.  You seem like a good guy.  I was just talking in general.

The hate for Cowser is the one that I find amazing.  The guys is fun, nice, aesthetic and has shown signs of being a really REALLY good player.

 

But wow do some on here dislike him.

Despair isn’t usually a fan of joy. Seriously though, just watch The Chill and realize who these dudes really are. Besides, Cowser is the odds on favorite to win rookie of the year, giving us another comp pick, and furthering the window of competitive baseball in Baltimore. Are these bitter husks of men fans of the team or are they fans of misery? That’s the real question.

Anyway, back to Cowser, looks like he is getting back to form and at a perfect time to come back to New York which saw his first ever game as an Oriole.

So much hyperbole.

No one HATES Cowser.

Why would they?

You can be critical without it devolving into hate.

That isn't true, Luis Gil is, followed by Mason Miller, then Wilyer Abreu, then Cowser. It's not April, it's June.
