Are you threatening people? Really? What are these "real and immediate" consequences? You'd beat someone (or something) up for disagreeing with you? Maybe give them a tongue lashing they won't soon forget? That last sentence seems to imply so...

So any announcer who talks about himself is bad? What about when the game's boring and conversation meanders to the mundane briefly?

By your logic, you seem to imply that any announcer who makes any mention of his past exploits is by default a bad announcer.

Ergo, using your logic:

Bob Uecker = Bad announcer (he refers often to his mediocre career as a player)

John Madden = Bad announcer (heck, when wasn't he talking about himself to some extent?)

Hey, any former player or coach is a bad announcer! :rolleyes:

"Dr." I think you flatter yourself. You actually think morons like the losers who post 3000, 10000, 17000+ times on this board (talk about real winners here) would get away with the kind of crap they throw around on this board.

You say something they don't agree with and you're all of a sudden an idiot. Tell me who in the real world wouldn't get in someone's face if they said that to them.

I live in LA. Many places in this city you idiots- yes all of you who posted insults on this thread are truly morons, idiots - many places in this city you wouldn't be walking home, that's for sure. Even in provincial Baltimore, I'm sure there might be someone who'd ask you to reconsider your comments in a most insistent manner.

I wasn't threatening anyone as you well know, troublemaking fool. I was pointing out that if these idiots said the things to me to my face, we'd be having a different conversation and you know it. That's life.

Just like if anyone said these things to you or to them.

Well I leave your oriole soviet to you fascist, moronic, closed minded provincial fools who love the local faded-hero from a bygone era.

Only 20000 posts away from being CEO of a fortune 500 company. Congrats.

If we challenged you to have one informed opinion, could you come up with something?

If we challenged you to write one post that contributed something - anything - to the board, could you survive that challenge?

I'm curious. I think the odds are longer than Jim Palmer not mentioning 1966 in his next broadcast.

Someone never learned the inherent conflict between fascism and Sovietism.

Of course, that's not surprising, seeing as he never learned the difference between Jim Hunter and Jim Hunter.

I really hope that by the time this is all over, you realize that people don't think you're an idiot for disliking Palmer when plenty of members here have shared that same opinion in the past, but rather, people think you're an idiot for believing that any person should value your opinion on an O's broadcaster while you didn't even realize that Palmer's booth partner wasn't a long-dead Hall of Fame pitcher. That's all there is to it, bub!

Now please, call me a moron over the internet, for surely that is the pinnacle of "cool."

echo, there is really nothing cooler than a blowhard on an internet message board. I'm sure you are really tough when you hang out at grade school bus stops. Do us all a favor and go pretend you are tough somewhere else. We have oldfan to deal with here and that is all most of us can handle.

Lt. Melmo, I think he is an idiot for a lot more reasons than you included in your post.

I assume you realize that the Jim Hunter who has broadcast Oriole games for the past several years is not Jim "Catfish" Hunter, the great A's/Yankees pitcher who passed away from diabetes a few years ago.

They are two completely, utterly, different people.

Orioles announcer Jim Hunter never pitched, to my knowledge.

      Plus Holliday is younger than all of the above listed players and that matters.

      This is not incorrect. I'm not saying he inherited runners in all 37 games. That's just the number of games he's pitched in. IRS is number of inherited runners that scored. Prior to yesterday's game, he pitched in 36 games and allowed 21 inherited runners to score. As I said yesterday, it is now 37 and 24. From CBS, see below (ref: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/stats/player/extended-pitching/al/regular/all-pos/qualifiers/?sortcol=irs&sortdir=descending)

      He’s slugging .476/.921 AAA SLG /OPS before promotion: Henderson .504/.894 Adley .480/.879 Westburg .533/.899 Cowser .498/.896 Let’s not continue the narrative that he isn’t thriving at AAA.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Good point, I assumed since he's 32 he'd been on a 40 man roster and wouldn't have options but it looks like you're right. And he's been lights out in Norfolk. I'd rather see him get a look than Krook or McGough.

      Last trip to Oakland, July 5-7, 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Looks like the A’s will be in Sacramento next year, so this should be the last trip the O’s ever make to Oakland.  I went to a game there in 1980 and it was a dump then; I can only imagine what it is now.   Coming into tonight, the A’s are 33-56 but coming off a 3-game sweep of the Angels.   It’s definitely seared in my memory that Oakland took 2 of 3 against the Orioles back in April, with Craig Kimbrel blowing two saves.   I’d really like to see the O’s take some revenge this weekend. It appears the pitching matchups will be: Albert Suarez (4-2, 2.43 ERA) vs. Hogan Harris (1-2, 3.18).  Suarez faced Oakland on April 28 and did poorly, allowing 4 ER in 4 innings.  Harris has never faced the Orioles.  He has generally pitched well, but was roughed up in his last start, allowing 3 runs on 10 hits in 3.1 IP. Cade Povich (1-2, 4.05 ERA) vs. Luis Medina (1-1, 4.80).  Povich has never faced the A’s.  The O’s saw Medina last year and treated him rudely, scoring 4 runs (3 earned) on 5 hits in 3 innings.  Medina is coming off a very good start in which he held the DBacks to 1 run in 6 IP. Grayson Rodriguez (10-3, 3.45) vs. Mitch Spence (5-4, 4.15).  Grayson’s only game against Oakland was the second start of his career, and Oakland pounded him for 5 ER in 4.1 innings.  Spence threw 3 no-hit innings of relief against the O’s on April 26 and picked up the win in that game. Oakland has a pretty decent bullpen that has the 9th best ERA at 3.55, a 14-16 record, and they’ve saved 17 of 30 (57%).  Their closer Mason Miller is terrific (14 saves,  2 blown saves, 2.39 ERA, 15.8 K/9).  The Orioles’ pen is 12th at 3.64 ERA, 19-12, and they’ve saved 29 of 43 (67%).    Offensively, the series is a mismatch on paper.   The A’s are 28th in MLB in runs per game at 3.63 and 21st in OPS+ at 94.  Brent Rooker (154 OPS+) was a thorn in our side in Baltimore, and there a couple of other decent hitters in their lineup.  The O’s are first in R/G at 5.14 R/G and OPS+ at 123.  But, we know Oakland is a tough place to score runs and especially to hit home runs.   Hopefully the O’s will show some patience this weekend. Overall, the A’s are a poor-hitting team, but their pitching is capable of keeping them in games and we obviously can’t take them lightly after what happened in Baltimore.

      Yea that subpar 900+ OPS really sucks!     And yes, plenty of people care about those at bats.  You would have to be Stevie Wonder to not see that.
