Yeah, this series is more or less over. Very very bad bullpen management by Buck and if O'Day, Matusz, and Britton are all pitching this poorly the Orioles will lose in 4 or 5 more than likely. We pretty much need a blowout win in game 2 to have a chance.

gently caress the Royals, they're a trash franchise, I hope Cardinals or Giants bullshit ruins their party.

Any Orioles fan who roots for the Royals in the next round just because they're another "suffering" franchise is a sap.

But if you have some other connection to the team like you like a player on it or you have family members etc it's ok.

Congrats to your team, they are much better than mine right now, but I won't be cheering for them and I'll probably hate them forever. Well I don't really hate Cleveland now even though I hated them for 1997. So at least for like 5 years or so I'll detest the Royals.

Some time ago I posted about how much Cards fans annoyed me for interrupting homework and a lot of people me a nerd. After some introspection I decided I do need to lighten up. So here's the deal:

For every run the Royals score this series I will have a whiskey. Now I don't want to kill myself, so if the Royals ever drop like 8 in game I'm giving myself until the time I go to bed to drink my whiskies for the night.

Go Royals.

I'm a motherfucking happy camper tonight. I'll probably be hung-over for first pitch tomorrow, but I will manage.

We used like all our relievers and a bunch of our guys who were solid for us all year long looked shaky as hell. We are not in good shape at all. I can't find one silver lining to take out of that game except we did get some hits against the starter and tied the game. We blew it in the 6th having two men on no outs after the rally. I had a bad feeling we were screwed right then and there.

There wasn't any bullshit the Orioles pitching was just pretty bad, and surprisingly the relievers minus Miller were a part of that.


We used Tillman, Hunter, Gausman, Miller, O'Day, Britton, and Matusz in a loving 10 inning game in a game one loss. That is absolutely terrible.

Kawalimus what would you have complained about if the O's had won? What sort of win would they have had to have for you to not complain? Why do you even watch sports? Why can't you go away forever?

Kawalimus you need to relax, dogg. Please remember that this is baseball we're talking about and it's anything but deterministic in a sample size this small. The Orioles are still a good team and even if you can cite a thousand good reasons why you think they'll be playing the remainder of the series at a disadvantage, it's still baseball and they could easily win in spite of those things.

I would have complained that we used so many relievers but been more at ease since we won and could afford a loss. I feel like we pretty much need to crush their starter in game 2 to avoid a 2-0 hole cause if we go to the bullpen again in a close game we're hosed.

Well after the season is over I don't follow baseball's offseason so you won't see me much more than likely until sporadically next year on this board. I'll probably be around after this series is over to cheer against the Royals though.

Well if it were football we'd already be out. I'd be talking about next year. My main complaint is about how we overused the bullpen, and my main worry is that the late inning relievers minus Miller didn't look very good at all.

I know about sample sizes and all but it's still a bad sign. This is the time of year that's more like football and single wins have more of an impact. All players are gonna have a couple games where they're not great during the season but you have those games during the playoffs and it sinks you.

"Teams that win Game 1 of the ALCS have advanced to the World Series just 9 times since 1995."

Maybe you should have more faith Kawalimus :)?


Like I'm upset at all the destiny bullshit and the announcers talking about how amazing and carefree the Royals are and this really really really weird notion that the Orioles are just "another team" and were "expected" to be this far. Like that's the troubling mark. The Royals are literally stealing the spotlight from the Orioles which apparently ran out of this journalistic integrity poo poo in 2012. I don't hate the Royals (yet) because Game 1 was loving awesome. Like it was really loving great and one team is going to lose.

Did you think that the O's were going to win them all? It's a best of 7. More baseball to play.


edit; That comes off as against the Royals and thats not what I'm trying to say. I really hated the announcers tonight and all of the articles written up to tonight.

My point in bringing up football is that it's much friendlier to those sorts of "If X and Y, then Z" deductions that you're trying to make than is baseball, in which quarters of an inch are the difference between dingers and outs. Bullpen overuse is objectively bad but it hardly means they're doomed. They just need a little luck tomorrow of the kind that isn't at all uncommon in this sport.

If you are still worried, remember that you have Nelson Cruz on your team and it is October.
