Quotes signs "Saverna Park hates you" and "we hate you"

Colin says "there's a big difference between being passionate and saying 'I hate you'"

Says sarcastically that Tex would be a better person if he took less money and went to work every day with no hope of making the post season.

One fan calls in and says "Yeah O's fans boo Teixeira but when the Yanks show up and he sits out, they feel like they've been ripped off" Colin agrees O's fans are selective.

Another fan calls in and refers to the Tex relationship as him "dumping" the Orioles. Colin can't see it at all. "You never had him in the first place... how could he dump you?"

Another fan calls in and says we (Orioles) have been waiting for a winning team for a long time and we're overdoing it with the booing. Colin says good call "Passion is no excuse for hate. Get a life haters."

I don't think he has a problem with the booing just the hating. He feels some fans crossed the line. I don't.

It's just a game but a very emotional one for a lot of us and we take things personal. That's just the way it is.

I'll stand on the side of the haters. :). Wrong or not, we have to stand for something. Had we been given a chance to beat the offer and couldn't, maybe things would be different. Hating him may bring as much life to Baltimore as loving him would have... at least when the Yankees are in town.

Maybe the "hates" thing is a little extreme, but who cares. Is Tex gonna go home and cry himself to sleep because of it? Professional athletes with over $100 mill should know they need to have some thick skin. The fans will do as they want.

Your mistake was listening to that moronic imbecile in the first place. Why bother listening to an angry, bitter, know-nothing? If you pay attention to the lowest common denominator of sports talk, expect to hear LCD-level content.

You can boo a guy all you want and talk about how you hate him all you want, but directing those types of insults at a guy is crossing the line. Booing is part of sports past, present, and future. Personal insults have no place in the game.

Just more confirmation that me not listening to, nor watching, ESPN has been the correct choice for me over the past few years. Since when did having a passionate crowd at a sporting event become a bad thing? I expected nothing less, and loved hearing it on the TV.

These "journalists" are making more out of this than the players are. Then again, ESPN needs to step up to the plate and be the Yankee apologists that they typically are.

I didn't read this but I sort of agree that it is possible to go over the top. Do I want Tex to be ashamed? Sure. Do I want him to regret choosing the Yankees? Yes. But some people on here are talking about stuff like "haha I bet his family is miserable" and stuff like that. I get passion, but that's a bit bizarre. I don't really want him to suffer.

      Cade Povich 2024

      By HuskerFan · Posted

      Moderators don't scare me.  If this isn't the place, then so be it.  You do what you feel is necessary.   That's his nickname.  He commented last week he liked it.  Someone else did too.  If that's breaking the rules then I won't do it.   He is the one that claimed, falsely, I've never criticized Povich.  Hence the reason that specific response - filled with FACTS - was for him, so he could see it.   I'm not family or a friend.  I've explained my reasoning for being here.  And it'll happen with Braxton Bragg as well. Then again when the O's draft or trade for another former Husker.  If you're actually interested in knowing then go thru my early posts where I explained it.  More than once, too. Me communicate calmly?  It's a message board.  You came at me with a ridiculous accusation.  That response was filled with FACTS.

      A dozen more strikeouts last night, and most of the lineup is not hitting well

      They all have the extra year now. Holliday has the extra year too. I dont think Elias is playing that game with Mayo. He wants to see some improvement defensively.

      Have to assume that the FO is seeing the same thing you are Tony, hence the relatively quick move up to AAA.  Exciting stuff.

      Would the last 600 PAs stretch back to last year to his issues with vertigo?

      Sure it is.  Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not an explanation.

      Developing situation with Mountcastle?

      Ron Shandler's people at Baseball Forecaster had something new in their 2024 annual trying to serve fantasy players in weekly leagues - it segmented playing time into Active Weeks out of 26, and then measured per week volume in plate appearances and/or games played.     Having watched the Rays try to MacGyver their way past the Yankees most of the past decade with spare parts, I've gotten to like 300 PA per season.    2023 that's 293 guys, 2022 it is 277 guys, 2021 it is 262 - it is steady around 9 guys per Club, and most everyone else is replacement players except when Gunnar Henderson is getting 125 at-bats.

      I've been following since I heard about his spin rates and velocity two years ago. I kind of dropped him off after last season at Bowie when he just really didn't command anything and lefties lit him up for a .287/.415/.475/.890. It appears to me that he's ditched the slider with the bigger downward break and gone to this cutter with the quick late break.  All I know is that he was impressive the couple times I watched him this year and the improvements are seen in the stats with the lack of walks and high K rate.  How good is that spin on the cutter? Only 7 major league pitchers have averages above his 2677 spin rate. They include Corbin Burnes, Dylan Cease, Sonny Gray, and JP France.  It appears to me that he throw two different type of cutters, with one being slower and having slider movement.  He threw 12 cutters: 8 had 0-7 inches of Horizontal movement and 23-30 Vertical movement 4 had 12-19 inches of Horizontal movement and 30-33 Vertical movement The highest average horizontal movement in the MLB is by 7.3 inches by Chris Flexen (so the 12-19 inches of horizontal are off the charts by cutter standards) Vertical movement is supposed to be a lower number like a fastball so the best is 14.3 by David Robertson.  It's hard to even find a comp for Strowd's cutter velocity and vertical wise. When I look at major league movement on cutters and sliders, it appears to me that he's throwing a sorta hybrid cutter/slider which may be given batters fits because they are not use to seeing that.  Either way, he's become real interesting.
