I hear that guy on every once and a while. I will change the channel and end up back on his station. He is usually still ranting about the same thing 2 hours later. I laughed just the other day about that. It was like he was on repeat.

He doesn't get left on the radio anymore and that was before these comments.

I apologize if someone else brought this up, but the Red Sox were really angry when Teixeira signed with the Yankees because they felt like he used them to get the big contract from the Yankees.

I can pretty much guarantee the Red Sox fans will boo the crap of him the first time he plays there.

Then what will all these "experts" say?

I was thinking the same thing.

The experts will point to the heated rivalry that is the best in the Milky Way. Just par for the course for Yankees-Sawx. Can't wait to contend again and force them to talk about us.

No offense, but as long as there is a dial, a power-off button, or the sound of the wind, there is always another choice ;)

But sometimes its so brutal when your choice is Bulldog talking about BL Football, Terrapin Times on Haynie, or Cowherd. Noon radio hour can either be great or terrible.

Ha! Yeah, I usually bow out on the Herd when he starts cackling about USC football for the 4th time in the 1st half hour. I have Sirius, so I usually listen to Timmy B. Pissed that my radio can't handle best of XM for mlb channel.

This is true, very true. How Bulldog is still on the air is beyond me. Haynie needs to get out of 1570 in the worst way.

The so called "experts" will just say that it's "good ol' Red Sox-Yankee baseball!":rolleyes:

WWBCD? - What Would Bob Costas Do?

If Bob Costas or someone in the sports world said what CC said - what would our reaction be?

Incredulous that someone as brillient and knowledgable as Bob Costas would say such a moronic thing, followed by chalking it up to an "everybody gets one" type of mistake.

I disagree completely and entirely. Even the idea that he's actually a bad person for choosing the Yankees seems absurd to me.
I don't know if it's more disconcerting that the fans have such a visceral over-the-top negative reaction to a human being who simply made a business decision that very few of us would have made differently -- or that they actually seem to believe their own rhetoric.

If it was a dungeons and dragons kind of thing, where folks are role-playing just for fun ... okay, it's a bit immature, but I suppose all part of the fan experience, for those who get their jollies from getting so intensely emotional about this. But what scares me is that it seems to carry over into real life for so many. Much as I love the O's as a recreational outlet, I recognize that it's just a friggin game. Seems like a lot of the fans don't recognize that distinction. Unreal.

If I were in his situation, I'd take less money to go to the Orioles, because that's where my heart would be.

His situation would be different in that he was more of a Yankee fan and wanted to win right now. I think that was what the decision was based on.

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.

      Which core players beside Adley Rutschman struggled?

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      By Pat Kelly · Posted

      The entire commentary on Hyde and the team seems odd but have to admit there does seem to be something off.   Team seemed adrift for most of the 2nd half.  A very talented team went off the rails midway through the season mostly due to core players struggling and rookies not performing or filling in adequately for a few injured starters.    None of the position player trade line acquisitions performed that well.     Hyde seemed in over his head or at a loss on how to correct things, but he must have convinced Elias that he has a plan to fix things.  Curious to see what happens with the coaching staff.
