“You fellas have a lot of growing up to do! Ridiculous.”

Whoa! I love baseball stats. I hope the Cincinnati reds become the 2nd WS winner. Or at least win enough so that I can finally see them in a playoff game. I have seats for game 3 and 4 @ GABP

I once took a bus ride in Pamplona for about 15 minutes and the two fellow Americans happened to be NY and Boston fans. Queue 15 mins of shit talking Nomar and Jeter. I would pull a John Warner and jump off the train before I’d endure that ride back to NYC with a Yankees fan.

The best decision I made today as an O’s fan was watching my other beloved: the Cincinnati Reds.

Biggest lolz moment is “now you can sell 30% of your tickets”. Right, I’m holding the bag to sell a shitty product after you’ll fire a bunch of reps because not enough people renewed. No thanks.

Yep. It’d be great to see the O’s get a playoff win, but like everything else in this country: rich teams always win. Scottish football has the best fans of all time. That’s how I wish O’s fans could be. I mean, what are the odds we’re actually gonna win? So slim. Have fun watching games though. 🙂

I hear you — I wanted the same. What sucks is how business baseball has become. Fandom is such a painful experience because business is always involved. Always there to crush your spirit and remind you: rich dudes are gonna rich. A tale as old as time. Every year, I get hyped — only to get hurt. 😢

It was a sign of things to come. My guess is that it they knew they’d sell all along, so you gotta think of ways to engage fans.

Ha! I was referring to our America’s Greatest City, not Wrigleyville. 😉

Right, but they county people can’t stay in the city for too long — that’s when you get murdered. 🙄

It was a poor way of saying, I trust they’re reading the right parts of data, but, it’s gonna suck if they get this wrong and it strips the soul from the franchise. How you feeling now?

I mean, lots of data and right sources can tell you a lot. My pals once told me about some company that existed that did predictive modeling of pitcher health and you could get an understanding of the likelihood of injuries & value. Software’s great for showing you perspectives & possibilities. 🙂

Cold Burrata cheese, peaches and honey. It’s what dreams are made of.

This dude’s never worked in tech. Bro, our tech, security, infrastructure and innovation are fucked without immigrants.

I feel like that scene with Paulie in the back getting scolded by Tony was the start of his displeasure with him.

This x1000. As a naturalized Brit who is anti-monarch (but, hey ho), I also won’t stand for the obvious ripoff of God Save the (Insert Monarch Title). 🤣 Though, I became quite partial to the Flower of Scotland and still find myself getting misty when I hear it. 🥹

I hear people liked him. I’m of the age when Jordan stopped playing? I stopped watching the NBA. 🤣

The scene of Meadow and Hunter making shit in the kitchen and leaving it a mess? Ohhhhh! Useless, privileged teens.

As someone who was born in Cincinnati, I can assure you, nothing’s good to watch from Cleveland. Drew Carey being the exception.

Also, for a less morbid view: you could live abroad and miss a number of seasons. I missed 10 and only saw 3 games in that time period. Shitty baseball ain’t too bad. 😉

Fair point. Sorry, it must really suck to schlep it from afar. Those of us who live close, can take it as a night out. It’s definitely a shit situation all around. 😭 I remind myself that there’s no baseball when you’re dead. So, any baseball’s better than none. I remain hopeful. 🤞🏻

Not season ticket holder, but I do have a 29 game package and attend more games. Definitely not renewing until they get their shit together. I feel like tickets are gonna be cheap next season for idiots like me who live close to the stadium. I like my ticket guy though. Good lad.

Someone always lets us fans down. It’s like clockwork.

No, but I’ll take 4.

That’s okay. r/Scotland has better patter anyways.

Do it. I’ll leave it at the front desk when I walk my dogs. 🤣

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

BROmon Laureano shoutouts?

5% after getting out of that last inning. If the O’s win and he goes Rollie Fingers, he can keep it. But, I still think it’s bad luck.
