Oriole Park at Enron Yards!

Braddish was masterful. Wow.

If all of those strike-outs on sweepers slow the pace of the game, Manfred will swap the current sticks for Cricket bats The fans like balls in play!

They had to make some Head room... Thanky, Thanky very much

Do they re-sign Chirinos for his "veteran presence," or bring up someone already in the system? Nottingham seems to handle the bat fairly well. No idea how well he does the "catching" part of the job. Or, will it be someone from outside the system? Enlighten me, friends!

Reverse splits for Wacha... But the three "automatic outs" at the bottom of the order don't inspire much confidence.

Wowza!

I wish they were both one step faster to home plate yesterday...

I was at that game!

Hays has a cannon. Mancini, well, he plays First Base….

Do the 2019 Nationals win the World Series without Gerardo Parra and his 90 OPS+? I’m not sure, but I’m more a poet than a statistician. Half of what I love about baseball is the unquantifiable. I’ve watched the bottom of the ninth of last night’s game four times. Let’s Go O’s!

Jake Arrieta credited Pilates as a difference maker. He discovered Pilates between his last season with the Os and his first with the Cubs.

Rougned Odor is making quite a bit of noise…. As the heat and humidity set in, balls tend to leave Camden Yards in a hurry.

More Melanie Newman is always music to my ears!

They might have found a nugget with Lyles. I like the fact that he sent Hyde back to the dugout in the 7th. It could have been disastrous, but I appreciate the bulldog mentality.

Gregg Olson got an AB back in 1993 when the DH had to play a position. He struck out.

Boomer was the hero today!

Thus far this season our catching platoon has totaled 11 hits. Which one stays? I’m not of the mindset that Adley needs a mentor, for whatever that’s worth. How would you guys determine which catcher starts once or twice per week? Catcher ERA? The better “framer?” Both of the current guys have shown decent catch-and-throw metrics. Which one is more valuable moving forward? Thanks…

Lyles also broke the 100-pitch barrier…. So they are being stretched out.

Any locals know an estimated start time?

Is that click-bait web site trustworthy? Was it reported elsewhere that the O’s offered anything close to that for Correa? Seems unlikely, given, well, everything… I wish CG amazing success if he can get it together. But a contract offer that big for Correa seems unlikely for so many reasons… Did I miss something? Thanks!

Tommy Pham? Sergio Romo? Anything left in the tank for those guys? Then there are the Spring Training opt-outs they can jump on around the 3rd of April...
