Not sure, but I think it's perfectly OK to troll about guys connected to the Orioles. Trea does it about AM all the time. I think it's just about other posters where you're not supposed to do it much. Plus, just because somebody says something, that doesn't mean everybody and his brother needs to respond to it. If people would just ignore it, then it would get no traffic and would disappear off the first page in a hurry. It's other people who keep it near the top. So, what you're proposing is kinda like saying that bad cheap wine should be illegal because you can't stop yourself from buying it...

Yeah, but it's easier to forbid one person from doing something than it is to forbid 50 people from doing something.

So what? You're just wanting somebody else to forbid junk that you don't like...

I have a question for the mods. I think it was last summer when OldFan got so bad about trolling Markakis threads that he wasn't actually allowed to post in them anymore. Am I making this up, b/c it seems like it was the case? If I'm not making it up, was there a time limit on when he could start posting in Markakis threads again? Can we please make this a rule again?

I think it was a self imposed ban that OldManFan put on himself after he was given a time out... but showing about as much plate discipline at Tony Batista he was back trolling about Nick in a matter of days.

Plus ignoring people like that is easier said than done. Things are inflammatory for a reason. They arouse a response.

Nick is now truly dialed in. That double was about the 5th hit he's pulled to RF in the last few days. He's in one of those grooves where he could just hit the ball anywhere.

Can't get too excited though. Last year on this date he was hitting .358/.447/.547 and seemed to be crossing over into superstardom. Then he hit a real tailspin starting the 2nd week of May or so that lasted into mid-July. So, let's just keep things nice and steady.

It sucks that he's not as good as Frank Robinson or Babe Ruth.

I mean, he should just give up now. If you can't be as good as Robinson or Ruth, why try?

Players like Eddie Murray and Roberto Clemente were sooooooo close . . . but they just weren't as good as Frank and the Babe. It's a disgrace they even took the field.

2008:

2 outs/RISP: 317/406/467/872

C and L: 290/400/548/948

http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?n1=markani01&year=2008&t=b

All of his clutch stats were good in 2008.

You argument is awful...yes, he wasn't great in 2009...You win that..>Big f'ing deal...That is one bad year in his career thus far...Your heros of your youth also had bad years every once in a while.

So please, stop this piss poor argument.

I am just shocked that oldman didn't acknowledge this post! :eek:

      Offense is down in MLB this year — but not in Baltimore

      By interloper · Posted

      A lot of teams are pretty injured and have worse depth than us. I'm not saying that's the reason, but it's a reason to believe maybe we can maintain our offense throughout the season better than other teams.

      This is probably as close to clicking on all cylinders as most teams get.  In any given 24-game period, some guys will be up and others down.  We have 9 players with an OPS+ of 116 or higher.  The four guys you mentioned will have hotter periods, and someone else will be cold then.  That’s baseball.  But the ratio of hot players to cold ones is really good right now.

      2024 NFL Draft Discussion

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I don’t see it.  Project guy.  Good upside but can’t see that in the first round. I think they go corner with the first pick unless someone unexpectedly drops. The assumption has been Oline but I think the draft is so deep and so many teams will be taking tackles that the Ravens will elect to wait until later in the draft to get Oline and WR help. Its not a deep corner draft, so getting one early makes sense. If they trade up, I wouldn’t think they trade anything higher than a 4th..could move up 3-6 spots. Trade back will likely get them a pick for next year.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Gunnar is our Kyle Tucker but at a more premium position.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I said Gunnar earlier. Before this season, I could have seen a case for Adley.  And I love Adley, great hitter (I don't think he's ever going to be a big power guy, but plate approach, contact, key hits, he's great) leader, heart and soul, etc.   But it's clearly Gunnar.  I didn't expect him to be this good, this fast.  He's separating himself from the rest of the pack, not only on this team but throughout the league. Whether or not an extension can happen is a different story altogether.  But Gunnar's the guy I'd go with first.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      It is early, but the O's have some clear holes that will prevent a World Series run this season. And it looks like there are some teams playing there way out of contention already, barring a massive improvement in performance, making them likely sellers. At a quick glance, here are the teams that already could be looking to sell at the deadline. Some teams on the list made some offseason moves that signaled they are looking to compete. But early returns aren't looking good, and now they have an old team with pieces someone may find helpful, and without much talent in the pipeline. Tier 1 Losers Rockies White Sox Marlins Tier 2  - Not Looking Good Oakland Giants Angels Astros Cardinals Nationals I haven't really taken much look at the rosters to see what pieces could help us. So, who is selling? And Which of their pitchers have a chance to be on the market?

      By Bahama O's Fan · Posted

      I still feel like our offense isn't clicking on all cylinders yet. Santander has been down, Adley hasn't found alot of extra base power, Holliday has been a black hole so far, Hays was bad and now injured, Urias hasn't hit well.
