  1. O’s postgame announcer said Brooks has the ML record for most GWRBI in 1-0 games. Final score tonight … O’s win 1-0.
  2. Not nearly as good, but to me, Greinke reminds me of Greg Maddox. A guy who knew how to pitch and capably used every tool in the box. He was fun to watch.
  3. Has aggy acknowledged Wyoming’s win over Appalachian State last Saturday?
  4. Next … https://www.masnsports.com/blog/jackson-holliday-named-baseball-america-s-minor-league-player-of-the-year
  5. Take part of it back .. Bears backup QB is from nearby D2 Shepherd U.
  6. How can you make fun of a girl toting around a bag of dicks? PS: A QB from that league is the Bears’ backup QB.
  7. Seems to be an epidemic today …
  8. O’s win #52 road game .. Orioles Magic (number) is 3
  9. JT center cut from 61 .. just short.
  10. Touch ‘em all … that’s outta the park.
  11. Who translates for Bregman when there’s a meeting on the mound?
  12. O’s are in Cleveland. First time Straw made an appearance, Jim Palmer duly noted that Houston shook down the Indians for Diaz. Palmer then picked up his storyline from when they were in Houston earlier in the week. “How is Diaz not playing a greater role with the Astros?” Everybody sees the problem …
  13. The O’s bullpen is toast. Any or all, a number of factors: •Starters seldom make 7 innings. 5+ seems to be the norm. Three or four relievers most every game. •Middle relief has been in a revolving door with Norfolk. Same gang around ‘n round with the same results. •Felix Bautista’s UCL injury took away a dominant closer. Eight inning games became nine or more. •Yennier Cano made the A-S game on a great first half as the set up man. He isn’t a closer. •Trade deadline acquisitions, Jack Flaherty and Shintaro Fujinami, are disappointments. The former was moved to the bullpen. The later should be moved to Nagasaki. •Jorge Lopez went from 2022 A-S closer with the O’s to downright combustible with the Twins, Marlins, and now back with the O’s. •O’s fans wonder what Mike Elias could/should have done at the deadline with a loaded minor league system. Instead, Baltimore took on a disinterested starter and two reclamation challenges. Still, it’s been a great season which I am enjoying immensely. Adley Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson, Kyle Bradish, and others shine bright.
  14. Jim Palmer has been effusive with his praise of Javier.
  15. Probably designed by elderly New York snowbirds.
  16. ML leading 48th comeback win and 88th consecutive series not being swept.
  17. Oh, no. Tough fellow. This will be a test.
  18. … didn’t invite me, either.
  19. My son picked up a used Oklahoma Joe barrel smoker from a coworker. He had decided to give stick smoking a whirl after we gave him Aaron Franklin’s cookbook. He took it full authentic bore by ordering a pallet of post oak from an online Texas supplier. Think he done good.
  20. You keep basing your argument on crowds (and noise which specialize in). Meanwhile, the rest of baseball will enjoy the Yankees spending 4x the salary of the O’s and still being home for the playoffs. Like I’ve said before, the O’s are at least a year ahead of schedule with a bunch of kids and young vets … while their minor league system is still top ranked by talent evaluators. Think Houston about 10 years ago …
  21. Agree with everything, but your crowd observation. O's fans are anything but passive. I think they were involved all weekend ... biggest series in years. Crowd noise on MASN is misleading since they turned down the stadium mics after the dipshit owner fucked over PBP guy, Kevin Brown, for a truthful observation that wasn't even negative towards the O's. Also, the team and its payroll mirror blue collar Baltimore. While several playoff pretenders have mid-$200M payrolls, the O's come in #30 of 30 at less than $60M. Beautiful ... just beautiful ... playing with house money. Footnote: Brown congratulated Mike Elias in the locker room, to which Elias patted Brown on the chest and said, "congratulations to you, too, Kevin." Maybe a subtle verbal wink that confirmed only one guy in the front office was part of that distraction.
