The Royals lost 106 games and 97 games in 2023 and 22 meanwhile those same years the Orioles have found success  but here we are the  Royals are already celebrating more playoff success then Baltimore has. It's  frustrating, pathetic and sad how bad this team has been in the playoffs. 10 straight loses is choking at its finest especially when you can make a case the Orioles were the more talented team during this stretch. Well maybe the Blue Jays were better the year they beat the Orioles. Maybe

I can no longer say the Orioles are more talented.   There is enough of a sample size out there to show who the Orioles are, and that is largely mediocre major league players with OPS within 10% od league average,  with Henderson being the exception.   They are an average team that rode a hot two months to a playoff spot and then scored 1 run in 18 innings.

They're not good.  No sour grapes or me being a bitter Betty, the Royals aren't a good baseball team.   As disappointing as last year was at least TEX was a talented team on a heater.

I'm happy whenever the Yankees lose but I kind of want them to sweep KC, not that I really have much against the Royals, I just want our guys to truly understand what apitiful performance that was.

No, they’re good. 

I mean, they’re good enough. And what they really are, is boring.  Outside of Bobby Witt Jr., there’s nothing exciting about that team. 

They signed a bunch of boring free agents like Lugo and Wacha, guys that we sneered at because they don’t have “elite” stuff.  And all Lugo and Wacha did were turn in boringly great seasons.  
 

I’m sure their fans aren’t blowing each other over and over again about how great their farm system is and filling out make believe lineups on fielding 1-9 100% home grown talent. 
 

They rely on pitching and defense.  Shouldn’t be a foreign concept to Orioles fans that remember the good old days, but it seems like it is. 

No, the Royals are good. They’re just boring. No superstars outside of Witt, Salvy and maybe Ragans. They play in a boring city and a boring ballpark in front of boring fans.  Their farm system is boring. 
 

Meanwhile we’re over here saying how great we should be because of Jackson Holliday and Coby Mayo and Heston Kjerstad and Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson and all this youth and talent that’s going to have us winning all the time and life is going to be so great.  Can’t be bothered to sign guys like Lugo and Wacha, those guys aren’t elite enough for our amazing window of talent!
 

We’re like the definition of being born on third base and thinking we’ve hit a triple.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      From the Sun today: “The atmosphere in the Orioles’ clubhouse after their final loss last October was also emotional. But there was more hope. Those Orioles were confident what happened then was an aberration, a result of youth and bad timing. There were teary eyes and hugs, but also talk of how bright the future is. This year, there was the same emotion, but less optimism and more bewilderment. At times, players were at a loss for words, unable to describe exactly what went wrong “   Hyde has to go.

      Adley shares tough health admission

      I Why not IL him?  They had a huge WC lead, practically guaranteed a playoff spot, why keep running him out there at 70%? I suppose it's laudable that he wanted to tough it out but at some point Hyde or Elias needs to step up and tell him no.

      We also need to examine if he’s not putting in enough work and preparation and see if he’s spending too much time with his girlfriend.  I’m with @glenn__davison this one. Yeah, you sucked, you said everything was fine. Own it.  It doesn’t make me feel good that our so-called leader and elite catcher and face of the franchise is already beat up at age 26, so much so that he limped to the finish line in an embarrassingly awful way.  Back issues don’t always go away so easily, is this something that’s going to drag into 2025?  It’s an inherently brutal position from a physical perspective, is it already time to fit him for a first baseman’s glove and hope that he can put up an .800 OPS there? We all knew that move was going to happen one day, maybe it’s time now. I wouldn’t be too mad at it, it gets Mounty and O’Hearn out of here.  But all I know for sure is that I was so wrong in 2019, and a lot of us were. I’d so much rather have Bobby Witt instead.
