Pick a fight?  I am not picking a fight with Roy.  All I said was he is a very emotional poster who says a lot of very emotional things that if he wasn't who he was?  Would be completely ridiculed on here.  It is a big double standard.  Everyone knows this.  Including Roy.  Hence why he does it. 

 

Here is how much of a 'fight' I am picking with Roy.

 

I literally wrote this 3 days ago in response to a post of his.  Does this sound like a guy who dislikes Roy?  I called him a good guy and a gentleman.  That doesn't mean I just suck up to him when he makes crazy posts like the "I think the Yankees will destroy Oriole pitching this week..." post.

Wow.

 

You are a good guy.  I remember watching you with my dad...I think on ESPN doing interviews, and I remember always thinking even back then what a gentleman you were. 

Ah thanks...hey, I just write a bunch o stuff in the midst of my emotion..its not any kind of reverse jinx...Im just trying to put my anxiety somewhere....but I dont mind being ridiculed as long as we win...I have been an Oriole fan for 60 years and wear my heart on a sleeve,,many of the Oriole legends were or are my personal friends too...,but I also know it's just silly baseball and in the midst of everything that is going on in the world...its nothing more than a great distraction. Every poster on here is my friend..I just want to enjoy this season and hope the O's continue to play well. In sports, they are the love of my life...LETS GO O's!!

I'd rather read a thousand reverse lock posts from Roy Firestone than a single truth nugget post from you.

I've posted here for something like 20 years and don't remember 1 post from Roy that picks a fight with another poster like yours does here. Make the reverse lock point. Calm down. Enjoy the vict

I don't think the Yankees will destroy Orioles pitching this week.  I think the Orioles are now in their heads and from the sixth inning on tonight the Yankees looked increasingly helpless, Soto's bomb excepted.

All good. 

 

Maybe you can start making a thread before every new series the O's play and talk about how they will get destroyed.

Reverse lock jinx in full effect.  :)

Actually, yesterday I had my brother bet the Os via online MGM in Michigan since he lives there and I live in CA and we can't bet in CA online. 

I am betting double or nothing tomorrow.  Not today as I don't trust Kremer against that lineup.

Thursday I will be in Vegas until Sunday at Aria so I will consider my options then.

 

And yes I 100% made the bet because of the reverse Roy lock jinx bet scenario.   And I cleared around $45K in profit on CAUD early yesterday.  I actually day trade for a living.

What else you got that's good? Who Killed Jfk other than Oswald

Why don't you actually make factual and informative posts instead of sitting on your white picket fence and snarking at people?

 

I have provided proof of everything I have ever posted on here.  Including real pics of my avi (me) and my wife.


Who t f are you and what have you done besides hating?

Tough loss tonight (not that the O's offense helped much), but once again O's pitching was not destroyed.  Burnes needed more pitches than ideal early, but really he didn't have too many mistakes and Ramirez had a particularly refreshing inning IMO.

The pitching overall should be fine. They’re probably borderline top 10 as currently constructed. With a healthy Bradish, second half Rodriguez, and Wells in the bullpen they’re probably closer to top 5. Still could use a swing and miss set up guy but the pitching should only be getting better from here.

Bradish threw 77 last time out, he's probably good for 90 if he's effective. Also, Rodon can be touched up.

Didn’t Bradish throw 80 in his last rehab start?

Also wanted to point out that in you're nailed post from last month when you nailed it that Texas would win the world Series, you forgot to tell how much money you won on that. How does that Fly Today?

Only a homer in 5 stadiums. Is Michael Kay crying today?  You win some, you lose some. We aight. 

Bradish will be good. He’s not wrapped in tissue paper. They wouldn’t have him going in this spot if he wasn’t 💯 ready. 

No need for a reverse jinx. I expect us to win. The underdog stuff went out the window in 22’.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
