Its vomit level attempts at pandering and they just sound stupid.  

Eduardo Perez, I assume does it by second nature with his father being from Cuba (Eduardo born in Cincinnati), but when gringos attempt it, yeah ...  it seems to be trying too hard.

So Heany comes into this game with a 2-9 record, 4.10 ERA, 84 hits given up in 83 innings, and 82 Ks on the season.  Then he looks like Randy Johnson against the Os.  Is it this national stage that has these guys playing tight?

They were on Fox last night.

Anytime you pick a particular timeframe to make a point it is cherry picking, especially, if you’re talking about a “trend.” I’m guessing they won the last game in that twelfth series making it 6-6, right? What about the 13th series? Why’d you pick 11? Seems like a weird number. I’m guessing they lost the last game in the 11th series, or you might have stopped at 10 and that would have been 5-5. 

Please don't edit and support your argument after I have responded to you-that is BS.

I picked 11 because that is when I thought the trend started.  

That is the VERY definition of trend.

Or maybe we are just having a bad game.

When we had the 5 game losing streak there were lots of people talking about how we could easily make it 10, or lose 3 or 4 of the next 5 and be in a tailspin.

As it turns out we are probably going to win 4 out of the next 5.

We are going to finsih the 30 game stretch with just one off day and many many games vs top teams with a 18-12 record, and in first place.

Let's not overreact to one bad game.

For about 1/3 of the country.   It was Giants-Dodgers for most

More people probably saw that game than this one. Nobody watches ESPN, the ratings are terrible. They are averaging 1.5M viewers for Sunday Night Baseball.

Maybe the O's can ask to be put on FS1 in the first round.

Over the last 3 years, Seattle has a 92 park factor, not 96.

And dimensions aren’t the only thing that makes a park.  I know things like facts and stats escape you but you just guessing and using your “knowledge” isn’t enough. Actual data matters too.

That’s why I said “aside from Seattle”. And your data showed Oakland to be more pitcher friendly than Camden. Congratulations.

He talks about the real estate company during games?

I can't say I've heard it. On his afternoon radio show, Garceau Realty was a sponsor, but I have not heard it during an O's pre-game or post-game. I have not listened to the afternoon sports shows in some time.

I have been out but just looked back over GameDay.  Seems like it’s not our night.  Worst night for Henderson since the night he should have struck out four times but a strike was called a ball in his first at-bat allowing him to homer.

    • This is it right here. The ideal scenario. 
    • Definitely don't want Soto back.  I'm on the fence w/ Dominguez. I guess he's a fine hedge in the event that Felix isn't effective from the jump.  I don't want Rogers on this roster. As said before, I want an open competition for the 5th spot between Suarez, Povich, McDermott, Rogers. If Suarez doesn't make the rotation, he goes into the bullpen. Povich/McDermott/Rogers all have options. If I had it my way, here's what the 13 pitcher breakdown would be: SP1: Free Agent Signing (Snell, Burnes, Fried, etc.) SP2: Eflin SP3: Grayson SP4: Kremer SP5: Free Agent Signing and/or competition w/ Suarez, McDermott, Rogers, Povich Closer: Felix High Leverage: Coulombe High Leverage: Free Agent Signing Middle Reliever: Free Agent Signing *or* Dominguez Middle Reliever: Cano Middle Reliever: Webb Middle Reliever: Akin Middle/Long Reliever: Suarez I'd like to see this club sign a SP1, SP5, a high leverage arm and a reliable middle reliever type..
    • Have you not noticed, Frobby is not among us and I don't blame him one bit. Has been absent since last Wednesday evening.  By the way, I long lost track of any point and particularly relevance this discussion has to Burnes and 400 million.  Seems we are revisiting a lot of he should have - they could of - why can't we now. Great tangent though! Again, for the record, I believe no one is going to give Burnes anything close to 400 million. So my answer to the OP is again - No One!!!!
    • This posts wreaks of someone who has no idea what the cost of relievers are nowadays. Which is, of course, no surprise that you aren’t informed. Now that said, I don’t have an issue if you take someone out..I asked that very question. Who do you take out or what do you not acquire in favor of keeping Suarez?
    • You always have room for another high leverage guy.  And Akin has an option left according to FG.
    • Yea.  I feel the same way.  I really do not care strongly one way or another.  Sure, I think it's kind of ugly.  I also think HR's came pretty cheap before.  I like the exciting defensive plays it fosters and of course the random triple & odd carom make for some fun and unique moments.  But I don't think it helps or hurts the team in any substantial way short of helping out the pitching a little.   I sure don't think the players are changing their approaches.  If they keep it as is, that's fine with me.  If they modify it some way, that's fine with me as well.  It does seem like there is some opportunity for some unique seats down there by modifying it slightly.  When I first saw it, it almost appeared like a construction Phase 1.  That might be reasoning for pushing it back so far, allows them some flexibility in the future.   I also don't buy that a Free Agent RH hitter is going to care at all about the wall.   They are getting paid regardless.  I'd think that 1-maximizing payday 2-playing for a winner 3-finding a location that suits your family would be your priorities and your long-term stat line would be very close to the bottom of your list of concerns.
