  1. True soaker here. A good bit of thunder and lightning--second such severe soaker in a week. Much needed I'm sure!
  2. I read this and immediately heard the classic chaotic *reowwwwwww!* Haha
  3. And ya think that's primed to happen this time, too? (And was it the same in 72-73?)
  4. At no time in it's history has that slogan ever rung more hollow, lol I mean maybe for where HE lives! (Just over the M/D line)
  5. Layman prediction: If we wanna see a classic region-wide 12" snowstorm before the end of this decade, it has to happen this winter. If it doesn't...for that kind of thing it'll be 29-30 before we have another chance. And that would be a new futility record...every decade from the 1900s had at least one. 2020s would be a first--even the least snowy ones like the 40s, 50s, and 70s. C'mon man...can we get at least one? I hope so.
  6. Now why would that be the case, though? I mean it's gonna be overall above average, right? (I'd imagine December alone will ensure that, judging by previous super niños) I'm just hoping we can get a 10-day stretch or two of just cold enough...and get lucky.
  7. The fact that we are on our third set of hitting coaches in three years and still the same problem is very revealing. It's the entire Elias' system! Rubenstein annoyed me the other day with his public vote of confidence in Elias...but I am HOPING he was just saying that for PR since Elias was sitting right there, and the presser was about the Bradish extension. No way anybody with even the slightest clue can look at this and just run it back next year. He's gotta go...it's time!
  8. Starting pitching has been better than not bad than the last two months. I mean in July alone their ERA is first in the majors, and they have been fantastic since late May. Something to build on next year, imo Elias gotta go--our hitting woes and just being unclutch with poor fundamentals goes back to his system, imo Fundamentals especially were problem when Alby got here and the players all brought it to him...which means it runs deeper. I don't think anything gets better until they make the change. If they don't we could be sitting right here having the same convo next season (whenever it starts anyway, lol)
  9. It literally has been--and it happens to be every other one too: 65-66 yes, 72-73 no, 82-83 yes, 97-98 no, 15-16 yes...so are we about to be no again according to that pattern? Lol
  10. Possibly. However we know what would happen in the playoffs with him so it wouldn't really matter, lol
  11. Hey all 3 Super Niños that did that (65-66, 82-83, 15-6) had a blizzard in Jan or Feb...so bring it My pattern superstition is bothering me though...only every other super niño has a big one for us
  12. The only thing I disagreed with was taking Rogers out at 88 pitches. But to be fair...Garcia didn't make a bad pitch; it landed way below the zone and the dude somehow golfed it. But that only tied the game; the blown opportunity in the 9th, stupid error in the 10th. Core issues once again that have been going on before this year, smh
  13. I don't know about that...Back-to-back losing seasons and 0 playoff wins may make the patience run out this time around. Rubenstein doesn't have to know about baseball to see this is simply not working. Especially with a new manager this year and things not changing. Now if we (hopefully) get a new GM/POBO it will be interesting to see if Alby stays or not.
  14. I actually think they'll hang on and win this one--records are often tied but rarely broken...and Bradish is on the mound!
  15. Agreed, lol I am in favor of them just standing pat or perhaps consider Rogers and Ward for trade. To me we are not going to get anything for Adley that will help the organization anytime soon--and the injuries are only gonna lessen the package, imo I mean for your former 1:1 it better be in your Top 5 prospects and that's just a start.
  16. I thank you for that and those links with great info and visuals--it's already starting to make more sense. Just that lottle hit goes a long way
  17. Bed? Gufaw...I don't go to bed till 3 am buddy so I got 4.5 hours So rule of thumb for the forum all ye laymen...don't ask any questions--Google But honestly, though...a glossary of abbreviations would help as well. I may start a thread and folks can add to it (though it does seem like someone in another thread did something similar but not sure where it was)
  18. Wow. Man I still don't fully understand what CAPE is, admittedly. I mean I see it's important for severe--what does it stand for? (Before someone sarcastically tells me to Google it I at least gotta know that, lol)
  19. The clusters of slightly more severe storm that came right over the area earlier combined with this train have resulted in quite the soaker here in northern Balt. City...probably been a couple years since we had this much at once--much needed, I'm sure! Training and training along right now, lol
