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!

Give Beckham his due. Dude had walked 28 times in 497 PAs before tonight. He worked the walk that gave Manny the chance. And it was AMAZING! Let's Go O's!!!

In the fifth or sixth inning tonight, both Ben and Joe were reading quite a few promos and ads. Ben says, "I didn't read this much in three years at LSU." Joe says, "I don't think that's an endorsement." Awesome!

If they released him, they are on the hook for his salary. Any team signing him would only be on the hook for the pro-rated MLB minimum. Is that not correct?

..after trying to return as a knuckleballer. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/03/minor-mlb-transactions-33016.html Talk about a fringe player with great stories! http://grantland.com/the-triangle/2015-mlb-dan-johnson-st-louis-cardinals-great-pumpkin/

Luckily, a night game!

This season is going to be a dogfight to the end! I can envision the AL East winner with a 90 win season.
