    Real Life Celebrity Roy Firestone created a "Let's Go Rangers" thread. Or have we already covered this? http://forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/showthread.php/155030-Lets-go-Rangers

    Just saw this version of the beer thrower, and it definitely looks like the main suspect Frisbees it out onto the field.
  3. CHRIS
    Probably need at least one of them with Osuna being wonky.
  4. CHRIS
    Sucks not having Pompey available to PR. I guess they needed to keep Tepera due to Osuna's uncertainty?

    I don't remember the context of him not using Wetteland. Was Wetteland the closer then? He must have been, right?
  6. CHRIS
    Tough break for him that the call on the field says that he did it. Don't think there is enough to overturn.

    I can't say for sure with respect to this season, but I signed up last year on a mid-season discount package and it included playoffs.

    The idea of having Ubaldo start is much more defensible than the idea of using him in extras last night. The main benefit Ubaldo brings to the table (in theory, and in practice during the latter parts of the season) is his ability to pitch multiple innings. If he starts (like anyone starting in a do-or-die game), he gets put on a short leash and the amount of time he's in the game is based on how he's doing. If he's September-Ubaldo, he maybe gives you 5 or 6 innings, similar to what Tillman provided last night. If he's awful, then you yank him quick, and any hole he's dug for you, you have the bulk of the game to try and claw your way back. In extras, there's nothing you can do if Early-Season-Ubaldo shows up. If he gives up a run, the O's have no opportunity to get those runs back. As such, I think it only makes sense to go to him if the game drags on and you need to get innings from someone. There's just no way, particularly given the volatility of his season, that Ubaldo should even come close to entering that game with Britton available.

    I was also pretty stoked to see Reimold pinch hit for Kim. If I weren't really, really, lazy, I'd find the Mr. Burns-pulling-Strawberry meme.
  10. CHRIS
    I am still stunned that Showalter didn't use Britton. I am also stunned that there could possibly be anyone defending his bullpen usage.
  11. CHRIS
    Was "stretch" the medical diagnosis for what happened to that kid in "Rookie of the Year"? Guys, this might turn out juuuuuust fine for us.
  12. CHRIS
    I haven't seen a lot of Liriano since the acquisition, but last night he looked phenomenal. A nice piece to add to the bullpen, assuming that's his destination for the next round.
  13. CHRIS
    You should be able to. I panicked last year (my first year with MLB.TV) because when I tried to load the first playoff game it said it wasn't available to me. However, when I selected the International Feed option, no problems.
  14. CHRIS
    And this is where Stroman's brilliant long con of "pitching to contact" is going to bear fruit. The Orioles won't know what him them (or rather, what struck them out).
  15. CHRIS
    Whoever it is, I just hope they tell both guys to be prepared to be in that game at some point.
  16. CHRIS
    Oh I get you know. Stuff that could be made into stuff if the media wanted to. Frankly, I'm tongue-in-cheek surprised that there are only two X's.
  17. CHRIS
    I don't see how you can offer it to Saunders at this point. I think at this point you tip your hat to the half season of wonderfulness that he provided, and move on.
  18. CHRIS
    The craziest thing is that they still control their own fate here.
  19. CHRIS
    If the stories are real, I hope they come out, regardless of how they do WHEN they make the playoffs.
  20. CHRIS
    I actually feel a bit bad for Gibbons here. He's had a very inconsistent bullpen for most of the year, and Cecil is now just starting to turn around (it seems). It seems easy to give him grief for bringing in Osuna in a four-run game, however he saw his team as recently as a few days ago get blitzed in the 9th with Grilli, Barnes, etc., and I can see how he would be tempted to "ensure" the win against our closest competitor by going to Osuna (and hoping for an offensive breakout the next day). For me, the biggest thing that bugs me about Gibbons is his claim that if he gets a guy warm, he has to bring him in. Except when that guy is Grilli. Or Cecil. Or anybody else other than Osuna. If it were me managing, I probably would have gone with Cecil in game 1 and had Osuna warming, without committing to using him just because he was up. That said, I also don't have the pressure of being the manager on a team trying to eke its way through a terrible September.

    If Boston takes the 1st seed, can we play them in the first round (assuming we win the WC)? I seem to recall that there used to be a rule where teams from the same division couldn't play each other in the first round, but I don't know if that's still a thing.
  22. CHRIS
    Hopefully that encounter helps to kick start a few hearts on this team.
  23. CHRIS
    They probably couldn't get the cigar (or shoes with no socks smell) out of his office and felt that throwing him a ceremonial title was the best way to stem the, "Why can't we go in there?" queries.
  24. CHRIS
    I haven't seen the full agenda for the pitching/6-man rotation meeting, but I strongly feel they should have deferred the "team never hits again" bullet point for the offseason.
  25. CHRIS
    Helling won 20 in 1998. Christ I'm old.
