I rarely post in the game threads and frankly despise their negative tone.  But I do sometimes read them after the fact, and I have to admit, there are some very funny comments at times.   So, this is a thread where people can re-post other posters’ game thread comments that they thought were really funny.  

My award from 8/30 goes to @Aristotelian.  After the 9th inning play where Holliday scored on a Mullins grounder to the pitcher and the catcher dropped the throw to the plate:

“Does that count as a passed ball?”

There actually were a couple of other very funny comments, but I’m not going to read through the thread again to find them.

Ha, I didn't get any feedback in the thread for that one, so I'm glad someone noticed. The game thread is a gold mine for memes and stuff so I like this thread idea, and happy to contribute the first one.

I couldn’t decide if it makes sense to rep posts in the game thread that I’m reading 12 hours later.   But I think during the games sometimes people are too busy watching and reacting to read every post or rep them as the game is going on.  

I hope others will post stuff here when they see something really funny there.  I don’t read the game threads often, and I certainly don’t read them after a loss.  It’s hard enough to sift through all the negative comments even when the O’s win.

Game threads are very cathartic and I love how we can be on the extreme end of positivity and negativity and wash our hands of it afterwards. 

It can be the opposite for me.

You just hear the same stuff every game that just isn't accurate.

I generally tap out after a few innings, it's just exhausting.

Honest question.  Not trying to stir the pot.   If you know it’s the same old stuff, why go in the game threads in the first place?

There are bit and pieces that gleam.

I also multi-task, I'm watching the game on the computer, sometimes with the sound on, sometimes listening to music, I have the game thread up, I have another couple tabs open.

I think most of the complaint comments are just funny. Even the ones that are completely valid are funny…it’s not the United Nations debating a war resolution, after all.

And sometimes, snark can be very clever. I like those comments the best.

      Elias taking accountability

      By wildcard · Posted

      Couple of things about what Mike said: 1).   Grayson will not start during the regular season.    Time has run out to build him up.   That means Burnes, Eflin. Suarez, Kremer and Povich the rest of the way if they can stay healthy.   Maybe Grayson as an opener or a reliever in the playoffs. Coulombe  as early as Friday.  I am guess either Smith or Kimbrel go. Westy and  Urias  on rehab  in the next few days.   Getting these guys back could be a  big mental boost for the team.  What level of performance they will be able to produce coming off a layoff is another things.      I would think Mayo and Holliday are optioned. Mountcastle is swinging but his wrist is still sore.   Where that goes in anyones guess.   If he comes back Jimenez will not be needed. 2).  When Mike says this has been a winning team for that last two years and he believes they can get back to that,  to me he is not just talking about the team.     He is talking about himself.    This is the first time Mike has experienced things not going the way he planned to this degree.    Quite frankly his looks a little shell shocked.    The pitching having troubles with injuries is reality to him.  Pitchers get hurt.    But his offense going from 5 runs per game in the first half  to almost zero is shocking to him.   He did not see that coming.  Adley, and O'Hearn were supposed to step up when needed.   Instead they took a step back.  None of Holliday, Mayo, or Kjerstad being able to help in the 2nd half was not the way this was planned.    Here is hoping the Westy, Urias and Kjerstad can help real soon.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Sanfran327 · Posted

      This board is smart enough to realize that the grass isn't always greener. The only way I see Hyde on the hot seat is if we miss the playoffs completely, which still feels very unlikely. Even then, I doubt he'd be fired during the offseason, but maybe. But then what? I don't think you give Buck Britton a shot at this roster. He's doing his thing and doing it well at AAA helping to develop guys. Could bring back Buck Showalter or Joe Girrardi, those sound like fun names. Or better yet, I bet everyone here with a torch and a pitchfork has their own little crystal ball with a short list of candidates ready to catch lightning in a bottle.

      The 4-run deficit was surmountable if we had more than one player who can hit the damn ball.   Kimbrel giving up six runs in the 9th may turn out to be a blessing.

      O’s look done

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I wonder if last night was kind of a face saving tipping point though. Kimbrel and/or Eloy are easy famous names if Elias wants to "get serious" about optics. Not anything involving any of the long term chosen ones obviously.

      Really hoping the Minnesota series means nothing. I don’t care what seed they get right now..just get in. They aren’t any better at home than they are away. If you can have your spot clinched by Minnesota, I want to see them rest as many guys as possible for those games.

      Parsing words I think "the testing of our depth" part is as close as Elias will come to critiquing Holliday and Mayo. I believe the club prides itself on its ability to prepare Bats to be ready to stay up, etc., but I do wonder if Sig Mejdal's "leading, bleeding edge" has made substitutes for actual MLB competition less effective than they have been in recent years. As awful as this run is, I've seen some comments a big off-season is ahead, but I'm not sure I agree.     There's nothing to do next April but play the guys you've planted your flag on.      Adley, Ryan, Holliday, Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser, Mullins, Kjerstad and Mayo is I think about as set an Opening Day lineup as you can find inching towards the winter.    Tommy Pham will be available for free next summer if somebody can't play. Certainly some interesting day to day calls for however long this year's ride the club can hold on for.    Prospect growth is not linear, and it still isn't impossible Holliday or Mayo will display some in the next 2 weeks.     Mayo can take dozens of at bats a day against Hurter with easy access to the Trajekt machine at home.

      Mullins swing in a 3-2 count at a pitch that started at his shins and just was never a strike was telling. They are pressing beyond pressing, obviously. I'm just not seeing any spark from anywhere. They look tired.
