Just now, rossihunter2 said:loads but they might all still go in the 3rd
Awesome thanks for the info. I'm hoping there's still some decent offensive players left.
Rounds 4-7 are all tomorrow right? Are there any names left on the board that should have been taken in the first or high 2nd?
Washington has to win game 2, and I think they will. I think pens take the series in 6 though, I hope i'm wrong.
Nuno is a bad pitcher ouch, he wasn't good in seattle or arizona.

If you want to talk about Yankees, sawx, A's, etc. why not start a general MLB thread? Not hard to understand. Is it?
Lol tolerant, like im waving a flag of injustice around. And start a MLB thread? That would have no traction and furthermore this board is closing down soon so.
2 minutes ago, Tank 92 said:I'm sorry, but did it ever occur to you that this is an Oriole's thread? Pretty sure no one gives a rat's a$$ about the freakin Yankees. Maybe it's just me, but the last thing I want to read here is something about the Yankees, sawx, etc..
That is all, hope you find a new home. lol
Good one, im pretty sure the O's are playing the yankees today no? And i'm pretty sure they are a division rival so it's pertinent to the conversation. If you have a problem simply put me on ignore ![]()
Aaron Judge is a beast, I knew he would be. Yankees have incredible youth and a great farm.
I think they should be ok with energy for this series. It's the ECF and possible SCF where I think they would start to feel the fatigue. Obviously the pens are a really fast team so they need to control the puck a lot against them and holtby has to be on fire. Marc andre fleury being the goalie atm for the pens is a huge advantage for you guys.
Caps through. They got a taste of some real young talent and speed with toronto. Hopefully it prepares them for the pens.

Washington really need to reverse their recent luck against pens, hell their all time luck against them. This is the year they have to get the monkey off the back for themselves and the sake of the league.
I have a feeling pens are gonna repeat sadly

Ahh ok, well then that trial was completely trivial and waste of time.
Wait a minute, didn't he just get a non guilty verdict? Well anyways the guy was a murderer so this doesn't affect me really.

Not only that, but lester isn't even an everyday player like cespedes. Bleh repressed trade memories.
16 minutes ago, OriolesMagicPlease said:Well if you don't hate Boston, I am counting you as a fan.
I'd rather the O's didn't have to face Donaldson as much as we do now, so yeah, why did you trade him?
So what happened with the players you got in return?
Well for donaldson we got kendall graveman, brett lawrie (who was the biggest part of the deal and plays for no one now) and a decent minor league prospect. For cespedes we got jon lester for 2 months, for russell we got jeff samirdjza. All terrible deals sigh.
6 minutes ago, OriolesMagicPlease said:You are a closet Red Sox fan, aren't you?
Boston does look pretty good and you are right, a stronger rotation is the key for us. We just can't count on Ubaldo and Miley in my opinion. Are there any players you wish you had back on your team?
Nice way to finish the series after dropping that tough one on Saturday. Pounding Toronto is always fun.
Lol no way haha, the red sox are probably the only boston sports team I feel completely indifferent towards. For my team we have traded everyone good. Donaldson from the blue jays we traded them, addison russell from the subs, cespedes from the mets just to name a few sigh.
The yanks have won 7 straight now, see I had a feeling they would become really good soon, but was hoping it wasn't til next season. They might be able to make playoffs this year. Too many good rookies, if they add to the rotation they will be hard to stop.
Caps have talent, they need a coach better than trotz though who isn't expecting long series. Need a ruthless coach or someone with ideas like peter laviolette, quinvelle, julien (to a slight extent) or a number of other coaches. They get it done regular season but not when it counts. Still think they finish the leafs in 6 though, but the pens will be waiting.
5 hours ago, OriolesMagicPlease said:It is really difficult to know who will come out on top in our division. The "experts" normally predict that we will be in 4th or 5th place every year, lol.
Is your farm system any good right now?
It's about 11th best in the league, we traded away too many good prospects and players for nothing already sadly. I think if the O's had a stronger rotation and had say 2 players with consistently high OBP they would be a damn hard team to beat. I never bother trying to pick a AL EAST winner lol it's too hard. Though i'll give it to bostont his year because chris sale is a beast and he can account for probably another 16 victories this season alone.
2 hours ago, OriolesMagicPlease said:The O's usually have a pretty strong first half. So what is going to do your team in, pitching, hitting, defense?
Britton is really scaring me. I hope he gets the dramatics out of his system early in the season. I am loving the Blue Jays start, but it obviously isn't going to last. I would really love to leave Toronto with a 1-11 record though.
Everything is gonna do us in as per usual, including injuries. Yeah I think toronto will turn it around like they did last year too but your div is always the hardest one to pick on who makes the postseason.
I love the NHL playoffs, every year its impossible to pick the winners of each game. Unlike the NBA where everything is automatic and boring. Hoping the bruins go up against the pens or caps int he ECF, and blackhawks against oilers in the WCF.
the 1-8 blue jays lol
7 hours ago, OriolesMagicPlease said:Your A's are 5-4. Not too shabby.
I'll enjoy the 500 and/or above marks for now but it will come crashing down. O's are doing well but they are such a tricky team to trust. On some days its homerun derby and other days they can't buy a run off of CC sabiatha. The rotation is really inconsistent too. The O's seem good at starting seasons fast. They were 7-0 last year.
Oh yeah should thread title be changed to Orioles Season 2017 now? Holy hell do we own the royals lately

Vikings really needed to make that pick, their O line was killed last year.
