varaven45 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 This team needs to rediscover its damn MOJO. Maybe they find it after All Star break. Still, the lack of preseason moves and continue to haunt the 2015 squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I love the atmosphere at O's-Nats games. I wish the MLB had conferences and divisions based on geography that way we could get more games with the Nats, Phillies, and Mets while keeping games with the Yankees and Sox.

varaven45 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Crav, decent shape if you like mediocre, lifeless play. I'm ready for some dang football . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 OK, time to regroup we just came off a losing 10 out of 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yep, and make a move or two that we didn't make in the offseason. But wait; Angelos is the owner and he ain't doing squat. But watch the teams whose owners actually care and want to win. Meanwhile, we will be left wondering what happened and why we didn't snag this guy or that guy.

cravnravn Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I still feel we will be competive with we we have on the field, getting Shoop back will be a big shot in the arm for the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 What a performance from Tillman. It was a thing of beauty. Price was good to but at least to me it looked like he had the "star pitcher's" strike zone advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Yea...Tillman was get against a power hitting line up. #1 I think.I finally calmed down in the 9th as the O's started to add to their 1-0 lead. Even though he was pitching great there was that feeling that one well hit ball by Detroit would ruin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Great series win but it means nothing if we can't build upon it. These next six games against the Yankees and Rays have the potential to get us some serious momentum or put us in a hole that will be very difficult to dig out of.

varaven45 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Crav, I see the Tigers are shopping your boy (& former Ray) David Price. I know PA is too cheap to sign him but how would you like to see him in an O's uniform ?I know, slim to none and slim left town. Still, nice to think about !

varaven45 Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Me neither but inevitable with PA and his henchman Duquette at his side. So long as PAs in charge, making dough, and putting enough butts in seats to make profit, it'll be more of the same. I'm surprised Buck has stayed around this long. It's a dang shame.

dc. Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Me neither but inevitable with PA and his henchman Duquette at his side. So long as PAs in charge, making dough, and putting enough butts in seats to make profit, it'll be more of the same. I'm surprised Buck has stayed around this long. It's a dang shame.First, I'm no fan of PA by any stretch. By why shouldn't profit be his motives? Second, the O's aren't the only team trending towards a buy small, build at home model. In fact, it's becoming there norm in just about every city except New York, Boston and LA. Big spending, long term contracts... They just don't pan out often enough to be worth it - especially if you're going to be burdened by the latter years. In fact, LA, Boston and NY are all great examples of that the last few years... What if we had signed Davis to a monster deal after his big year? In the moment, the fans would be thrilled. Today, we'd all be even more frustrated with him than we are. The question can't be about the stats alone. It has to be about the cost in comparison to the possible replacement... Andrew Miller is a great example.

dc. Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Side note - like many, I'm just not feeling it this year either... But still not giving in. A sore stretch after that great run, but far from dead. Trade deadline will be interesting. Plenty of time to get straightened out, plenty of games against some outside division foes ... The Yanks were 4 games up when we started that series, but their run differential was about 30 worse than us. We are missing opportunities... They can be found.
