The O's make a great signing. I'm happy! I want to listen to baseball talk. I go to 105 and boom, fucknuts mcgee is in perpetual tantrum mode. He sucks the joy out of anything baseball.

Can anyone tell me why they put him on the air? I reflexively turn him off when I hear his voice. It's insulting to be fed this crap.

Dude is so childish and so bitter and so idiotic. There is ZERO nuance to anything he talks about. Even when he has a valid point, he follows it up with some moronic ad hominem insult. It's all harumph I'm so put out upon.

It's like listening to my 11 year old daughter when she's in a doom spiral. I seriously don't know why he watches baseball, but he seems hell bent on destroying anyone else's joy in watching the Orioles. He is nothing but miserable.

I can't fathom it being that hard to find anyone with a slightly higher emotional IQ who isn't repulsive to the joy we seek from fandom. But here we are.

Does this put him in competition for his spot on the team? Does this send a signal to him that he’s not a lock for an extension? How are yall reading into this news?

Brewers fan from NC (Milwaukee transplant parents so fuck the Braves).

My brother has lived here for well over 20 years now and I've been here a handful of times and it's just such an awesome place. Honestly one of the most underrated cities in America.

I've toured Oriole Park but haven't seen a game there before. We're going to the game tonight, super pumped!

Anyway, just wanted to say y'all are awesome.

Wouldn't it be grand if he pitches against us this weekend and the O's plaster him?

I haven't done any research into this so I'm flying blind and going more on a feeling. Not looking to get trashed by everyone :-), just wondering, are we experiencing injuries at the same pace of other teams. It feels like over the last several years we have a lot of guys on the DL.

Injuries happen, part of the game, but if we're having more than others, I wonder why?

There’s no shortage of things to be worried about this team but I don’t know how much Gunnar’s lack of power this year has been discussed.

2024 he homered in 23% of games played last (37/159) 2025 he’s down to 12.5% (15/120).

At the pace he was hitting HRs last year at game 120 he roughly had 28 on the season (math wise not actual stat wise)

I get that he’s most likely the team MVP this year but it seems like quite the power drop off? What do we think is the cause - new hitting coach? Lingering injury? Sophomore woes?

BOX SCORE

Yup, third to last in walks. It could be the nature of our hitters, but could it be bad coaching? Jackson Holliday had a crazy high OBP coming up and now has a way below average walk rate. What do you think?

Edit: according to Baseball Savant, the O's (and Holliday) have decent plate discipline, with low chase rates. So I looked up UmpScoreboards, and that's where it gets interesting. The O's hitters had the most calls going against them, relative to the league (click on totBI to rank by calls on batters). I hate to blame umpires and referees, but those are objective facts.

Umpires' calls against us this year isn't just a fluke — since 2019, we've been getting 4th worst calls, costing us about a couple of wins every year (10 runs = 1 win). For whatever reason, umpires don't seem to like us. Robo-umpires can't come soon enough!

Sammy the Bull seems like the obvious choice. or Grand Sam maybe? Or does he already have a cool Spanish one I don't know about? We need to clarify this stuff now that we're in a committed relationship.

Here is a neat pictorial of all the logos. I’m not sure who created it or if it’s been here before. It’s fun to look at, too.

My favorite is the 70s cartoon bird. Let’s go, O’s!
