Hyde is the worst. He just accepts this game after game after game. I'm sick of it.

Not sure why anyone is getting on Hyde. It's the 3rd inning. I'd rather he stays around to manage the full game. He's shown frustration with bad strike zones plenty of times this year. He also knows t

Not about reversing the call. The umpire needs to be called out and embarrassed in front of everyone for his incompetence. That’s what Aaron Boone does and it works in his team’s favor. Many Umpires w

When is Mayo gonna step up and do something to help the team win?!?!? Hasn’t had a hit yet, couldn’t get a handle on that grounder. Just an absolute ZERO so far. 

He's clearly not an elite athlete.

Was it the gangs, the wildfires, or the earthquakes you liked most?

I have been here 14 years and really only felt one earthquake.  And that one we rolled for quite a while.   Have had many others that I just didn't even feel.  When I moved here I thought they would be some major thing but they really aren't.  Knock on wood. 

The gang areas I just completely avoid. Including Hollywood.  I can't stand it.

The wildfires are bad.   Another govt malpractice.  They do nothing to clear out old brush and trees to prevent the big fires.  It really is a crime how little they do in that regard.  When I lived in Pasadena I lived about a mile south of the mountains that run along 210.  They were all on fire.  That was a sight to behold at night.  And here in the Santa Clarita area we have had 3-4 big fires that all came within a few hundred feet to a mile.  Never had to evacuate though.

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
