Gregg Olsen on the radio with Kevin Brown. Quite pleasant!

Hunter and Palmer, noting that the temperature had dropped, and that folks had their jackets on. Camera shows Cobb sitting on the bench behind Cashner. "Well, he is a windbreaker," notes Palmer. 2019 is about the little things...

Put him on the 10 IL with a hangnail, then a rehab with whichever affiliate is playing close to home?

Anyone who followed the Orioles in 1988 should be rooting for Chris Davis at this point. Does anyone remember that the national - and GLOBAL - press followed the team everywhere they traveled back then? It was horrifying. Well, that’s happening to CD now. The British newspaper The Guardian posted a story about him this morning. I pray he gets three hits tonight.

Three triples, plus Alberto’s glove work equaled a very exciting game!

Wasn’t watching the game, but quickly looked at gameday after receiving a text from my buddy that the O’s have no-no in the 7th. Then saw that Hess had been pulled. My first thought was “that’s modern baseball for you.” My second thought was, why did my so-called buddy have to ruin the no hitter by bringing it to my attention? Sheesh!

I also watched that game. I liked that Willie compared one of the Yankees’ MiL infielders to Mark Belanger.

I know I lasted through the Rivals.com era!

It’s not going to be Chris Davis, but I’ve always thought there should be more guys like Brooks Kieschnick in MLB. Someone who on any given day can pitch, PH, DH or play in the field. Talk about roster flexibility! I know Brooks Kieschnick wasn’t a star in MLB, but if you had seen him in college... Whew!

Tony, Drungo, Frobby, Roy, and now Luke. I've been hanging around here since I put a computer in my house in 1998. I don't post that often, because I'm not any sort of analyst, and I have no special baseball knowledge. But I learn an awful lot by reading these boards every day. Every day. Long live the OH! (Like the OH in the national anthem!) Thanks, Tony!

He's hitting really well thus far this spring. 1.423 OPS!

I’m not the best researcher, but i can't seem to find the length of contract for Mike Elias. Do we know how long the commitment lasts? Thanks!

Schoop redeeming himself for the Brewers tonight, with two hits, and an RBI and a run scored.

Well, as long as he's playing for us, he won't be stealing home against us.

Villar is leading off tonight.

Both the pitchers coming back were born in Maryland. Should help attendance numbers! ?

I like that they unloaded O'Day (as much as I appreciated everything he did here) and that they got back a whole lot of international slot cash, but I'm not overwhelmed by the players coming back.

Name is misspelled!

He could play against Manny tonight!

I was listening to the Dodgers game on the radio last night. Steiner told the story that the Manny Ramirez trade had been completed before the deadline, but not announced because all players involved must be notified before the announcement can be made.

Signed off and completed.

Both teams checking medicals, per MLBTR. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/07/orioles-reportedly-closing-in-on-another-trade.html

I'll bet you 5 pounds of fine Texas brisket vs five dozen jumbo male crabs (assuming you live in Maryland) that Alex Cobb finishes the season with an ERA below 4.50

There is no way Wade could pretend to be this guy: https://www.thrillist.com/vice/how-much-beer-could-andre-the-giant-drink

This is one to build off of. I'd love to see him win four in a row!
