I’m not angry at all. I’m telling you why you are wrong and pointing out why people are “jumping on you”.

 You are being purposely obtuse.

again, your ranting is based on something that is factually wrong. 

Nothing could be worse than being in factually wrong about baseball. Is it a death sentence? San Quentin?
 

Please don’t tell my wife.😪

I can’t believe y’all are even engaging with this nonsense.   As to the merits of this move, it looks like an effort at marginal improvement.  Probably a nothingburger, but sometimes these moves

Rubenstein has owned the team for less than 2 months. We have no idea if he’s cheap. We do know that he has way more money than the Angelos family did and we know he wants to win and we know he cares.

Maybe he ends up being cheap but anyone saying that now is just being stupid. 
 

But yea, the Angelos family was cheap..or at least John Angelos was.  But they don’t own the team anymore, so it doesn’t matter now.

But again, when you are crying about people jumping on you and saying sh!t to you, which you are absolutely doing, maybe trying to learn is the way to go.

Or, you could continue to look terrible, not educate yourself and have people jump on you. It’s your choice.

I’m sure your wife already knows you don’t listen.  😁😂

Why are you making excuses for this guy anyway? He doesn’t need you. And I keep saying this and you guys are completely ignoring is

I’m not the only one who is saying this stuff.

 

And why the misplaced and weird anger?

 

I hate to see some young kid come up and ask you about the game of baseball. None of us are lifetime jocks who study every little tiny nuance about the finances of a baseball team. Some of us just like the sound of the bat hitting the ball, and the smell of hotdog at the game

I really don’t wanna know you this well.
It’s hard to believe that I’m on a baseball chat room.

Who is saying Rubenstein is cheap?

What excuse did I make for him?  That he just took over the team?  That’s an excuse?

who is they?  The Angelos family is no longer here and they/John were the ones making financial decisions in the offseason.  Rubenstein took over around opening day.  There were no free agents of consequence to sign.  I would rather that Rubenstein talk to Elias and let him know that he supports Elias' vision of building championship baseball in Baltimore than try to force the signing of every big free agent  We can see how well that worked for the Mets/Cohen.  If payroll is not increased this offseason and extensions are not signed this offseason, that will be the time to complain and rant.  If you are still here and posting there will be plenty of that here on the Hangout, right or wrong.

Your point? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

 

OK, you win everything! I’m the worst human in the world! I bow to your superior knowledge and being!

 

I really thought all these decades of following baseball that I was really having fun watching it all but now I feel like I’m complete idiot thanks for some testosterone filled jocks on a chat room. You really showed me.

 

Properly one of the best days of your life. Hope you’re proud.

I don’t mean to be rude, but is it beer 30 there?

are you always this rude when you talk about the game baseball? Does it always make you this angry? What’s the satisfaction you’re getting here?

That’s fine..then don’t come on here ranting about the finances of the team!!  You are literally crying about something you admit you know nothing about.

Come on here, be a fan, throw in your opinions and have fun with it.  But that’s not what you are doing.  
 

You are acting like a caller on a local radio talk show that has zero idea what he’s talking about but then you complain when someone points out why you are wrong.

Did you read the purpose of this thread? Did you see the player they are talking about?🤣

Oh, I don’t think you are being rude.  You just aren’t smart. There’s definitely a difference between the 2.

But yea, who are all these people saying Rubenstein is cheap?

O's Acquire Thyago Vieira
 

here is a reminder.

I can’t think of any place better to start talking about how the oriole seem to be cheap all the time. Always cheap decisions. And this is with the new billionaire guy. So far he’s been cheap as well.

Until he’s not cheap, I will call him cheap when he does cheap things.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      Agreed, they were trying to preserve Burnes there. The division still hadn't been clinched, so try to win the game but within the rest management plan for your ace. Hopefully the fact they used Cano means there aren't any major concerns about his rest, but now you have to wonder.

      Yeah both Burnes and Hyde said after the game it's because Burnes is going on regular rest to start the first WC game and so he was shortened up a bit.

      You seem to pine for guys in AAA and then (with one notable exception) judge them very harshly if they don’t perform well instantly in the majors.  This is not the time to start experimenting with Young, and that’s no reflection on him at all IMO.

      I agree with the part about Elias. He needs to operate with a little more humility (regarding his bullpen approach) and pivot in the offense regarding how he puts a pen together. He needs to get away from the arrogant thinking in believing that we are always "the smartest guys in the room" and can fix other teams junk/unwanted parts. That is fine to do some time (regardless of how much you spend). But you can't construct an entire pen made of castoffs and almost no guys with elite/power/strikeout stuff. Yes it worked great with Felix, Perez/Lopez in 22', Cano in 23'. But the problem is that we are in '24. And some of those lightening in the bottle guys have reverted back to what their talent says that they are - mediocre. We have a pen full of decent/league average/mediocre arms. That's not what you really want heading into October.

      Also, since there’s another interesting discussion going on here, I think it’s time for Hyde to have an uncomfortable conversation with Adley. I hate everything I’m about to say, because Adley is my favorite Oriole. But we have to acknowledge where we are.  Over the last few months, the only sensible approach with Adley — other than the IL, which apparently he hasn’t been eligible for — has been to keep penciling him into the lineup almost everyday and hoping he figures it out. He has a track record of consistent lifelong excellence, so it’s felt like just a matter of time before he busts the slump and rights the ship.  But he hasn’t. Adley’s line over the last 3 months, almost half a season now, is so bad that it requires a double check to be sure it’s right: .186 / .274 / .278 / .552. A 61 wRC+. And -0.2 fWAR. He has been a below replacement player for 3 months now. He has been the 3rd-worst qualified hitter in baseball over that span, and the 7th-worst overall qualified player. The “qualified” part does make it a little misleading — most of the guys who’ve been this bad have long since been benched. I think you have to consider McCann, at least in Burnes’s starts. He’s been hitting a bit (114 wRC+ since the ASB), and even if he wasn’t on a bit of a heater, his normal baseline is still better than a .552 OPS. If you do continue to play him full-time, you just can’t treat him like he’s *Adley* anymore. You have to treat him like the bad backup catcher he’s been. He has to hit at the bottom of the order. The very bottom. There’s really no reasoned basis upon which you could want to have him get more ABs than guys like Mullins or Urias right now. And you have to PH for him liberally — whichever of Kjerstad/O’Hearn doesn’t start should be looking at Adley’s slot as their most likely opportunity.  As I said, I love Adley. It’s been brutal watching him. But there are 25 other guys on the team who deserve the best shot to win a ring. And that means you can’t just keep stubbornly handing all the ABs to a guy who is desperately lost, on the blind hope that he’ll suddenly find it.

      I didn’t post it in the game thread no, but I’m also not looking for credit. I thought it was a bad move at the time to remove Burnes in the first place, and choosing Cano at that point after he’d been bombed by those exact hitters, felt odd and off to me. The only real defense I could come up with was who if not Cano?  But taking Burnes out is essentially admitting that winning that night wasnt your top priority anyway, so why not also rest Cano, who you absolutely need in the playoffs and has pitched a lot?  I just didn’t get it in real time, and I still don’t.

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?
