So much hyperbole.

No one HATES Cowser.

Why would they?

You can be critical without it devolving into hate.

I didn't use the word hate. 

I said dislike.   And just read this thread.   Half the people here say he should be sat or even send back down.  They poo poo anything he does well.

It is really strange to me considering his rookie status and the flashes he has shown.  He does things that show he can be elite.  Of course he has his warts.  He is a rookie after all.  But he flashes.

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.

You know, if you were a plus member you could edit out things like you using the word hate.

Or are you trying to say that having hate for Cowser is somehow not the same as hating Cowser?

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

Ah, yeah you’re right. I was looking at odds that hadn’t been updated yet. Looks like we’ve got to do some damage against Gil to further our odds if we get the opportunity.

Do they?   Or do they just want him to hit better than he has the last 6-7 weeks, and start hitting offspeed/breaking stuff better?   I don’t consider that hate.  

Cowser has proven he can hit the fastball, and that when he really gets hold of one, he can hit one an extremely long way.   That’s great.  His defensive range is excellent.  Those are his strengths.  I’d just like to see some signs of eliminating/reducing his weaknesses.   Hopefully that will come.  Until it does, he’s going to get some criticism.  It doesn’t come from hate.

Some of the hate for Cowser has been over the top. There’s one poster who is the biggest offender but I won’t name him.

He would probably tell you that you aren’t a sports guy!

Well you quoted a post where I used the word dislike.

The bigger question is why do you dislike other Oriole fans so much?  Shouldn't we all be in this together?

But you are by far the most negative 'fan' I have ever seen on a fan message board.  You nitpick and criticize just about every post I make.   About every little thing.  It is exhausting.  And I am the biggest Os fan there is.  Just ask my parents or my wife haha.   Hell I even have a bowling bag that is an Orioles bowling bag. 

Can't you just be a little nicer and less crotchety to people that support the same entity as you?

 

I don't get it.

I dislike what I consider poor posts.  I've grown spoiled and expect a certain level of competence from the posters here.

Question.  And this is not a cut down but a genuine question.  Are you an older man?  70 or higher?  Live alone?  No real family or friends?

 

Because you seem to live and die by what is said on this message board.  You really take it very seriously.  Obsessively so.  I sincerely hope that you have a full and bountiful life outside of this board.

Did you also work as a psychoanalyst?

Question.  Can you do math?

My date of birth is in my profile.

I take this board obsessively seriously?

Here I thought I posted a bunch of music and a large percentage of my posts are jokes.

Here is a suggestion.  Either just don't respond to my posts or put me on ignore.  Especially since most of your posts to me have nothing to do with the Os.

I think you, me and the board would be much happier that way.

You could put me on /ignore.  Or do you need to be a plus member for that?

I forget.
