Definitely going to need some more established pieces for Kjerstad than this.

I don't think any Oriole fan who saw that one will ever forget that one. I know it was a Sunday and I thought it was Mother's Day but couldn't have been if it was the 7th. After all those years of losing, the Orioles had gotten off to a good start in 2012 but it was still suspect in early May. I think everybody really starting believing after that game.

Good God our pitching!!!!!!!

Sparky Anderson was the oldest looking 45 year old man in the history of the world. He could have gotten a senior citizen discount anywhere without even asking for it.

A clinic in pitching to contact.

Kimbrel to the IL will be one of the moves - probably today. Not sure about the other one

I don't think they're going to go through all the machinations of acquiring a Pillar or a Hicks and DFA-ing a McKenna then DFA-ing Pillar or Hicks when Hays comes back in, what, a week or two?

Did tonight

I live about 20-30 minutes from Harbor Park so I made my first trip of the year. I didn't even know Means was pitching until yesterday, I wanted to see Holliday and Mayo (who went deep). He looked like Means - fastball was probably 90-92, had the good changeup going, good breaking stuff. Very little hard contact, a lot of pop-ups, just a couple of deeper flies in the last inning or two. I think he's certainly ready.

A hot team is who you want coming in because they're due too cool off. It's the cold teams I'm scared of.

Anybody want to reconsider on this?

Man that Oakland bullpen looks good. Let's make a deal.
