  1. I think our younger pitchers can learn a lot from Burnes. Lyles and Gibson were solid veteran pros and good mentors, but Burnes is an alpha dog and our guys can see what it takes.
  2. Condolences to you and your family.
  3. B-b-but, he didn’t sign [Free Agent X]! He obviously doesn’t care about winning! (Coming next winter.)
  4. Six of the 11 were on Sundays, including two 2-homer games. I know this because I had a Sunday ticket plan in those days, and Gross was always hitting homers in the games I attended.
  5. Nope, just watched at home. I’m going on Sunday.
  6. The O’s are 21-9 on Opening Day over the last 30 years,,and they’ve had a lot of great ones. They’ve won by larger victory margins than today (twice by 10 runs). They’ve had a number of Opening Day shutouts, including on the day Camden Yards opened. They’ve had walk-off and extra inning wins. But for me, I’m taking this one as the best Opening Day of them all: - David Rubenstein and his fellow owners struck every chord correctly, giving interviews, mingling with fans, buying rounds of beers at Pickles, etc. they were pitch perfect and really set a tone for what we can expect going forward. - We spent 3 months looking for an ace, and Corbin Butnes looked every inch the part. He was masterful and so fun to watch. - And just generally, the team had great at bats all day and looked like a defending division champion ought to look. My optimism meter is pretty much at 100 after today.
  7. He was awesome. It’s nice to have an owner who really knows his team’s history and really cares. And he’s quite modest for a guy who’s accomplished so much. He’s such a breath of fresh air.
  8. I guess Hyde is 1/1 in setting lineups so far. 11 runs will suffice.
  9. He missed his spot a couple of times in the first inning, and was basically perfect after that no matter what pitch he threw. Wow, that was an amazing debut.
  10. Just curious how many combined innings folks think we’ll get from Bradish and Means combined this year. Looks like Means could be back in late April. I’m guessing Bradish is late May at the soonest, if all all.
  11. Oh, absolutely. If he was healthy, I’d call our rotation excellent. With him out, it’s still decent but nothing special. My optimism meter on his return is pretty high right now. I’m thinking 60% chance of a return before June 1. How well he’ll pitch is murky.
  12. Imagine how bad it must suck to be 90 minutes from opening day ceremonies and still not know if you made the club (not referring to McKenna here).
  13. I guess I’ll watch the hour long pregame show just to see how badly they can screw it up!
  14. Ah, another year of second guessing the lineup every single day!
