9/18/2024 MLB Virtual Ballpark Game

[Baseball fandom]

Man Baltimore sports has been rough as hell recently. The Orioles basically suck again like the old days and the Ravens well that's another story for another time. I can't believe this page is 30 pages long. I have  to admire you cats for sticking around this long for this team.

Ha, somebody had a pic of Rivera. 

Pretty much this is me towards this team right now! 

 

I know there's humor in this and its probably just my bad mood over this team, but I don't like this one bit.  Rivera is not nearly a good enough player to get away with a clown act like this - not that any one should get away with it.  Imagine Mountcastle doing that, no way.  Its not like he crushed that ball either - he hit it well but it wasn't one of the worst I've seen get beat down by the wall, not even close.

In fairness most of that length is just us bitching about the team LOL

Thanks for posting this, that is necessary and helpful context.  I retract my statement entirely.

Hays was the only one who would impact the chemistry of the MLB team. Your narrative makes zero sense. I do believe the chemistry factor is off but little/nothing to do with the trades 

And Slater, Hays' replacement, has actually played a lot better than him--0 BBs in 67 ABs shows how desperate Austin's been to connect.
