  1. Glad they're on the road with their original black jerseys.
  2. I'm glad the Orioles are no longer drafting at the top of the 1st round. It's funny that over the past 4 years of Orioles' draft picks, everyone had their mind on who should be drafted (Rutschman vs Witt, Kjerstad vs Martin, Cowser vs Lawlar, Holliday vs Jones). I saw somewhere that Dylan Crews is hoping to be drafted by the Nationals and expecting at least $10mil signing bonus. I think the Orioles would have gone with Skenes this year for the obvious need for pitching and maybe Skenes won’t have that $10mil demand. On a side note, if the Pirates are scared off by Crews' comments, are they aiming for Skenes anyway or will they go underslot with someone else as they did with Henry Davis in '21?
  3. Thanks for the tip. I see the option now and will try it the next time I'll need it.
  4. I'm not putting additional carriage returns for spoilers since I think your post will push my comments down. My oldie answer for the Cardinals 40+ HRs was Jack Clark since he was the only power hitter on their 80s teams and driving in a lot of runs. I obviously could have put McGwire or Pujols but wanted to low % choice.
  5. I've been trying to think of obscure players to obtain a lower percentage of what's commonly chosen.
  6. Watch Cleveland make a small tweak to Vallimont and he'll be a top set up man.
  7. In a 22-0 shellacking of the Chicago Cubs that day, Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Rennie Stennett would record a hit in all seven of his at-bats – becoming the first and to date the only modern-era player to accomplish this in a nine-inning game.
  8. And the Orioles have a short bench tonight. It looks liked this lineup will have to play the entire game.
  9. Any damage now just causes the Yankee bullpen to potentially drop from having the #1 bullpen.
  10. Volpe has just been a thorn this series. About time he couldn't quite reach the ball for the out.
  11. Chris Vallimont, we hardly knew you. Claimed by the Guardians. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/07/guardians-acquire-chris-vallimont-from-orioles.html

  13. Hope the cameraman is ok. It's the only thing the Orioles have hit hard tonight.
