  1. Loved that Astros shooting star and color scheme.
  2. Thank-you, Mike Elias … whose first two picks as O’s GM in 2019 were Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson.
  3. … and it is no more.
  4. … the sec Network should continue with the Longhorn Legends. Bumpkins in our new conference will be shocked to learn one of us was Goodenough to invent the lithium battery that runs their sisters’ dildos.
  5. Watching USC game one final time and then …
  6. I was thinking of Juan Marichal.
  7. … like everyone else in that organization, they know he’s their Daddy.
  8. Dime Box would have been way more appropriate because he dropped a YUGE dime right down their neck …
  9. No .. 3 starters and 2 top relievers on the IL compounded by inconsistent bats in the bottom half of the order.
  10. Maybe she’s not a lady …
  11. … nice series for the Astros.
  12. O’s color guy, former ML P Dave Johnson, spoke just yesterday in NY about studies correlating the number of pitches in an inning to arm issues … he said 30 pitches of max effort is the tipping point from muscle fatigue to tissue breakdown. Johnson seemed surprised Bloss came back out for T4 based on pitch count … including 35 in the third. Hope he doesn’t have a lasting problem … nice start.
  13. It probably would have received more attention … had it been the Yankees, BoSox, or Dodgers.
  14. They also have won/split 22 straight divisional series … a ML record going back to 1969. Pretty good in the AL East. Until yesterday, they shared the previous record of 21 with Cincinnati (1969-1970, 1975) and Atlanta (1998-2000).
  15. I predict the O’s will score 3 or fewer runs tomorrow. Always happens after hammering somebody … and today, they’re shittin’ down the Yankees neck 16-5 thru 7 1/2.
  16. … and he’s absolutely correct.
  17. Elias speaks frequently of his positive experiences in St Louis and Houston. He also mentions his good fortune to have Sig Mejdal. I’d pass on your trade proposal. I like Framber. But, how much mileage is really on his arm? Pressly is Kimbrel-lite and Montero is kinda … meh?
  18. Did you know that Mountcastle uses Chris Davis’ 1B mitt? He borrowed one from Davis during spring training the year he switched from SS. Mountcastle loved it and oral tribal history is that Davis furnished him two new ones. Apparently, Mountcastle chose well. The dude can pick it.
  19. The O’s don’t want a CF, openly or not. They’ve been first or second in runs scored per game all season. They have 3 guys, not named Mullins, who have played CF this season and another in Norfolk who was sent down this week to get ABs. If you watch the O’s at all, you realize quickly that Mullins isn’t indispensable, but he’s a defensive luxury they can afford. Their problem … if having the third best record in MLB is problematic … is SP and the growing impact their injuries/limited innings has had on the bullpen. Experienced ML arms on the IL all over the place … Bradish, Means, Kremer, Bautista, Wells, Coulombe, and probably others whose names slip my mind. But, like you said, the O’s nerds know what Houston has. Now, you really need to ask yourself if Brown and Bagwell are equipped to deal with them?
  20. They don’t seem to know that …
