You should PM OnlyOneOriole  and discuss that.  That would keep you both out of the main threads for days.

Shouldn’t people that talk about baseball be friendly?
What’s with all the anger and testosterone around here?If

I did cry myself to sleep last night. I live for reputation points 

Should I be telling my family this?

Guess again.

Once 

 

you have a low bar

 

 

What’s up with with all you guys criticizing people for not knowing every tiny little detail about baseball. Of course I knew Cal Ripken played in ONE WS anyway. 🙄

 

. How many times did Derek Jeter play? THAT WAS MY POINT. How many times have I forced to watch the Yankees play in the series year after year after the Angelo’s completely destroyed this franchise? 
 

even bringing up the fact that it was 1983 and that’s the last time we’ve been in the World Series is pathetic. I have a high bar. I started following the Orioles in 1968. We used to be the best franchise in baseball.

You’re probably a blast at parties

 

 

Actually I am.  I have the smoker going right now with ribs and chicken..burgers, dogs and brats to come and a giant cooler full of beer.  Sitting out by the pool with 40 friends.

Thanks for the acknowledgement.

When are you going to start talking about baseball?   I must have missed it.

Used to chat rooms. Some people sometimes need to take a break I think from what I’ve seen.

I just found an old personal message from one of your old posters that recommend I join this other board where  personal attacks are not allowed.

I’ve been posting here two days and I have to agree with the person that advised me of doing this.

 

not very friendly

And this isn’t even a political chat. We’re supposed to be talking about a game that people play and that people like me like to watch. You know the word fun?

We tried to do that.  We pointed out why you were wrong about the whole payroll and cheap thing.  Instead of discussing the merits of that, you focused on other things and admitted that you don’t pay attention to the financial stuff and how it works, yet you are fine with crying and whining about it.

You’re still not talking about baseball and you don’t sound like you’re having fun.   Good luck.

Is this my initiation? 🤣

 

if you were smart, you would go back and look at this whole thread and I did start off talking about baseball and you would see that I was derailed. I should’ve said honest instead of smart.

if posters wanna attack me, I’m not gonna just passively let them.

 

i hope some these folks don’t have kids

    • The good thing about the current playoff setup is that you do not have to panic.  Back when only the division winners made the playoffs, you could not fall too far behind.  After losing 5 games in a row, the O's are still only 2 games out of first for the division and are 7 games up in the wildcard.   Elias has to wait over the next month to see exactly what the team needs.  If you try to make a trade at this time, you are going to overpay because the other teams are waiting for the deadline to hope a team becomes desperate.  You also have the issue of a most of the NL teams being in contention for the wildcard, not many sellers out there.  In another month, hopefully a few more NL teams realize they need to sell and that widens the trade market hopefully driving the price down for what has to be given up.  
    • I’m not going to deny it, when watching the Mays tributes and they spoke of the kid from Alabama  who could do it all, my thoughts drifted to the Orioles young star.  I had to remind myself of how Griffey Jr. and now Trout faded after generating breathless excitement in the first portion of their careers.  It can be a cruel game.
    • I think he will ultimately end up too big, 
    • A big 4 hit game. 2nd highest OPS on the team at .853.  If we didn’t have Adley, or Gunnar, everyone would be walking around in Westburg jerseys. 
    • First of all, I'm talking about his plan for the Orioles moving forward. I get what the front office was doing early on. Turning around a very bad team by drafting high, picking high upside college hitters the might quickly improve the club. And he's done a helluva job drafting positional talent. But I never understood his reluctance to draft top end college pitching talent. So what we have is a minor league system system of super talented hitters who are blocked from making the bigs because there's literally too many of them. On the flip side there's little to no major league quality pitching talent at all. Fast forward to this off-season. Elias knew damn well the odds of Means and Bradish missing significant time was pretty much 100%. We already had lost Felix for the upcoming season and Wells has a long injury history.  He also had to know Cano wasn't the heir apparent at closer or even a high leverage guy. So what does he do? He brings in an aging Kimbrel to close. And we get Burnes. And believe me, I like Burnes but that wasn't nearly enough for a team with World Series aspirations. And now in late June, it's coming unglued. The pitching injuries are mounting. Guys like Irvin and Suarez are showing they just don't have what it takes. We choose our best minor league arm and it's Cade Povich. I like the kid but he's a fifth starter at best. I guess my main question in this is whether or not Elias realizes how mediocre the pitching staff currently is. And he needs to make moves ASAP because I can see things unraveling. We have the biggest surplus of trade bait in the MLB. At a minimum we need a top end starter and a top notch reliever. Time is ticking       
    • I know it seems counterintuitive to go to a six man rotation when we might not have 5 SP, but we’re seeing the reason that we tried to do the 6 man rotation with the Povich promotion before Bradish’s injury.  I say promote McDermott. Go to a 6 man rotation. That will help the other 5 SP. Replace one of Suarez/McDermott when Kremer comes back in 10ish days.
