  1. For me it's like asking, "When did you start loving your mom?" I have loved her from the beginning...my earliest memories. My parents raised me on the Orioles, so I have loved them from the beginning...my earliest memories. I stood close to the tv, held a seat cushion in my arms, and called balls and strikes. We played wiffleball games in the neighborhood and a retired police officer would raise a flag while we played the anthem...we had music in between innings. We were always imitating the stances of our favorite Orioles. Plus, going to the games - the walk up to Memorial Stadium - eating at The Birdfeeder Restaurant (Where I met the REAL Bee for the first time), Orioles Magic. No matter how bad we got, no matter how much I said, "I'll root for another team!" - it wasn't ever, couldn't ever, will never happen.

    Fastball Velocity: 70/80 Movement: 50/50 Command: 30/40 Deception plays up against LHH Slider Movement: 50/50 Command: 30/40 Replicates arm speed; short and tight with bite Evaluator Tucker Blair for Baseball Prospectus www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/eyewitness_pit.php?reportid=307 My only comment is that if his velocity is a 70 out of 80, does the ball need to burst into flames to get an 80?

    "Scott is a power arm that has the potential to work in the late innings of a game. The FB/SL combo is efficient and both pitches have deception against LHH. The command and mechanics are inconsistent, but there has been slight improvement in all three of my viewings this season. The risk remains high due to limited innings and command." From Baseball Prospectus... His AFL performance really made me excited that he might be ready for our bullpen faster than I'd expected. Glad to see him getting some attention.

  7. That's hilarious. We all had certain guys we always were in the lineup because we'd mastered their stances. Did you construct walls out of scrap wood and sleds and cones...?
  8. I was born in Harford County and have lived there my whole life in one part or another. My first memories are of playing wiffleball in an oversized Oriole batting helmet with Oriole batting gloves to match. We had music we played between innings, our neighbor raised his flag before we did the anthem, and I was pretending to chew tobacco like Dennis Martinez one minute and wearing my Bumbry pooka beads the next. Orioles Magic!
