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?

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.
