Although we as fans don't go to the Yard in the 3 million person range anymore (there's a reason for that, O's FO), when we do show up we need to show that we're not happy with the losing.

When they play like ****, boo them. When you leave a closer in to give up the tying run and then the go ahead run when he obviously doesn't have it, boo Trembley. When Izturis is facing a wild pitcher and fouls out on the first pitch, boo him. When the O's have runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs and can't score, boo them. And then don't go back anymore.

I've reached a breaking point. This is my last year of watching ****ty baseball.

Well said, Orioles fans have been patient long enough. And it has nothing to do with the last few games. The Orioles need to re-establish their winning tradition right now. We can't settle for less. We must to expect to win, any less is unacceptable.

How does booing help anything though? Gonzalez actually holds himself accountable for his mistakes.

I will say this though. This kind of stuff makes for some great reading on the hangout!!! (Although I obviously want a few more wins!) Much more entertaining. So glad were past the offseason and the hundreds of trade proposal threads.

It's not just for him. It's for MacPhail, it's for Angelos, It's for the people sitting in the seat next to you. We're not the Pirates, we're not the Royals. We've allowed the perception of our team to be "they're a small market in the toughest division in baseball who have no chance to compete." We're not a small market team, we're not poor. People cry for a salary cap while we used to have attendance marks over 3 million, we have a RSN, we have one of the best stadiums in baseball. Yet, we fans complain about the Yankees and the Red Sox and how much money they have. If you turn the clock back 12 years, we were in a very similar situation as both of those teams. They continued to win, we turned to ****. Yeah, NY has a huge market size, but to pull a Pedro and call them our daddy isn't what this organization was about for decades.

Every year, I tell my friends how excited I am about the start of the new season. They chuckle a little bit and say the O's suck. And I say, "Man, have you heard about (Roberts, Markakis, the way Guthrie pitched last year, Wieters, Bauer, Riley, etc., depending on the year)? They're about to turn the corner." Every year, I look like a fool. I'm tired.

      How many games will the O’s win during the 30 games in 31 days gauntlet?

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      The 1997 Orioles started 50-23 (111 win pace) and finished 98-64. It's rare for a team to stay this hot for all 162 games.

      Elias sounded like he’s interested in figuring out a way to retain Means: “This is not career-ending. We're going to get him back in good shape. But this surgery takes time." Means, 31, is a free agent after the season, further clouding his future in Baltimore and in baseball. He signed a two-year, $5.925 million contract in May 2022 and avoided arbitration in January by agreeing to a $3.325 million deal. "I think the first step is taking care of this and we're going to support him and we have a long relationship and he's a special member of this organization, just given everything that he's done," Elias said. "Obviously, we talk a lot, so I'm sure we'll be dialoging with him as we get him back on his feet medically. He's going to make it back. He's a big, strong guy, and once he gets this elbow injury fully behind him - which hasn't really been the case, it seems like, going back into last year - I think he's got a lot of really good pitching ahead of him." https://www.masnsports.com/blog/means-and-wells-undergoing-elbow-surgery

      How much do you care about winning the division?

      It's the Yankees. It's pride, regardless of anything else.

      To be honest, it depends on whether the division would be a step down, a step up, or expected. In 2022, everyone would have been overjoyed at 3WC. In 2023, we would have been furious. Now expectations are high. A WC is still playoffs but a huge disappointment. Not just considering the importance of a first round bye and R&R for the guys, anything less than a division title is a disappointment.  The division is the goal of the season. And I hate the Yankees. And I’m annoyed every time we lose a game we should have won.

      Bummer that it's a full TJ, which is a longer recovery than the brace. Hope it works out for him. It sucks, he only got 44.1 major league innings out of his first surgery. Maybe the fact that they were very good innings helps make sure someone takes a chance on him.  It'll be almost 5 years post no-hitter by the time he can take a big league mound again.

      I think the O's should consider matching and upping what other teams might be offering.  It might only be a minor league deal.  Even if the prognosis is really good I doubt the O's do anything like a qualifying offer, but bringing him back on a small deal makes sense.
