I think in a way the organization "lucked" out with the competitive run they had from 2012 - 2016. *** The Eric Bedard Trade that sent Adam Jones and Chris Tilman to Baltimore was one of the most lopsided in MLB history. **** Trading Koji Uehura to Texas for a MVP Caliber Chris Davis and Tommy Hunter was another huge deal. **** Trading for a JJ Hardy in his prime solidified the core of the O's defense up the middle with Wieters,Hardy and Jonesy. Can't remember who they Traded for Hardy but I don't think it was anyone too great. *** And of course getting Buck Showlater. They were awful for 14 years prior to 2012 and have been awful since that era of Orioles ended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Jumping in from Lancaster Pa as a 45 year fan and former season ticket holder for my beloved O's. This is likely an historically bad team - I'm going 9-51. If my 76ers could manage just 9 wins in 82 games back in 1972 there's no reason why this team can't match it in 60 games.

The past few years has seemed to be a "don't give a crap" mode. Well, good and bad, the success of any organization usually reflect one at the top of the pecking order. Angelos has undeniably turned a once very proud into a laughingstock. The O's have had several highly touted arms over the past couple of decades or so that never developed as hoped. (Hello Dylan Bundy) How many young players have suffered significant injuries in our farm system? Something doesn't seem right there either. It's part of the game, sure, but we do injuries better than anyone else. That's discouraging too. We've been hearing for years about the next great arm to anchor the rotation and we're still waiting. I gladly drove 90 minutes each way to 33rd Street (20-30 times a season) when I was younger to support them but in recent years it's been a couple of trips a season...at most. There was a time when you could proclaim to be an Orioles fan and feel a lot of pride in saying that. No more. It's a shame. It's humiliating to go to a home game when the visiting team's fans outnumber us 4-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hanna is moving south southwest. Not much to see near Austin TX. 15 mph wind, chance of an inch of rain. Deep South Texas will have all the fun, tropical storm force wind gusts and 8 inches of rain. Move along, move along, not much to see here. But in the Corpus Christi region, different story: 000 FXUS64 KCRP 251210 AFDCRP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 710 AM CDT Sat Jul 25 2020 .DISCUSSION... See 12z TAF discussion below. && .AVIATION... Weather conditions will continue to deteriorate at area terminals today due to Hanna`s approach and eventual landfall along the mid/south TX coast. Will indicate tropical storm force winds at CRP and ALI airports given the forecast track of Hanna to the south of these areas. However, gusts to hurricane force are still possible! Expect widespread showers and thunderstorms with heavy rainfall to spread in from the coast which will reduce visitibilities to IFR conditions. Expect heavy rain to continue along the coast through the night with improving conditions across the northeast Coastal Bend Tonight. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 611 AM CDT Sat Jul 25 2020/ SHORT TERM (Today and Tonight)... Tropical Storm Hanna continues to approach the CRP MSA early this morning. Convection on the west and north sides have increased quite a bit overnight. Satellite representation has also been very impressive overnight with bubbling convection around the center of circulation. Hurricane models (HWRF and HMON specifically) continue to be very aggressive with intensifying the system as it moves toward the coast this morning. These two models are significantly higher than all other guidance out there. Track guidance has become fairly well in agreement with variations of only about a county. Current forecast cone indicates landfall potential between Corpus Christi and Port Mansfield with timing generally expected this afternoon. Rainfall continues to be a major concern across much of South Texas. Southeastern areas near where the storm moves inland are expected to see 5 to 10 inches. With increasing convection to the north of the storm center, we will still see 3 to 5 inches over the northern Coastal Bend and 2 to 4 inches as you go north and west. Moderate coastal flooding is expected across the Middle Texas coast as the storm moves in with Storm Surge warnings in place. Once the storm moves inland it will gradually dissipate but at least Tropical storm force winds will likely reach well inland before it weakens to a depression Sunday. LONG TERM... The same high pressure ridge that is Steering Hanna into South and Deep South Texas will continue to steer moisture and unsettled weather into South Texas through early in the week. High end chance PoPs continue through Wednesday before decreasing late week as the ridge shifts eastward and mid-level troughing deepens through the central part of the country. Temperatures through the first part of the period will be below normal due to TS Hanna, and the increased moisture...then warm back to near normal by late in the week. MARINE... Convection on the western side of TS Hanna has increase through the Middle Texas Coastal waters overnight as the storm approaches the CRP MSA. Hanna will progress west or west southwestward through the area this morning with a landfall expected this afternoon. Tropical storm to hurricane force winds are expected throughout the area with very high seas. Wave heights at the 19 buoy north of the area have already surpassed 20 feet this morning. Expect wave heights of 15 to 20 feet area wide today. Torrential downpours will occur, especially in rain bands and eventually any potential eyewall of the storm. Rain chances continue through the middle of the week as unsettled weather persists. Winds will decrease to moderate levels by Monday and persist at light to moderate levels through the end of the period. Rain chances decrease late in the week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
