Cool. He saw some pitches at least.

Sorry, I had to step away. Did I miss anything?

I'm thinking a little lower. 91-92? When pitching at home, he had the advantage of throwing the ball out of "white" of the houses past the outfield, or was that a myth?

Wells is nasty against lefthanded hitters.

It's been several years since I last had full blown MASN (DirecTV). I remember those shows and even the one on Saturday's in the late morning/early afternoon talking about the Orioles. Now I have to wonder if Ben McDonald and Jim Palmer got their days mixed up.

3-man booth tonight? I can't recall when that last happened on MASN.

Yeah, there have been a lot of them since I became a fan of the O's. I would like to see a championship before I turn to dust.

Thank goodness. Shades of Ubaldo Jimenez right there.

Who remembers the days of Armando Benitez and Jorge Julio?

That's Adley Clutschman to us!

I "like" this but right now I'm just a limited posting member.

Erie lost 3-1 against Richmond this afternoon. Bowie needs to win in order for them to make the playoffs. Game time 605pm tonight

Thank you, Texas.

Aberdeen defeats Brooklyn 5-4 to advance to the SAL Championship.

This is a semi-finals series with the winner facing off for the championship against Rome or Bowling Green.

Maybe one day before I leave this world the Orioles will enact some kind of FA revenge when the Yanks signed Mike Mussina (and maybe even Reggie Jackson). Mussina and Jackson were 31-32 years old when they signed their contracts. I don't think Judge is the one but stranger things have happened. I wonder where Judge sees the Yanks moving forward in their quest to win their next championship. They have a few free agents of their own but none more important to their image than he is.

I wonder if the moderate path to success means having to first go through Baltimore, Atlanta and Cincinnati? (Gausman)

And then we'll all see how that first year of the new contract pans out.

Os need to keep Bichette grounded tonight.

I meant to say the offensively challenged ballpark, not the team. But yes, every little bit of help goes a long way.

It's entirely possible. But roster flexibility comes into play now that Wells was activated and Watkins sent down. If there's an expectation that GRod makes an appearance this season, someone will still have to come off the 40-man/28-man roster. Still a month to go in the season so anything can happen to the rotation. Crossing fingers for nothing bad.

Pedroia averaged 10 HRs a year or 15 HRs in an average 162 game schedule. Would we expect anything more than this or something like Robinson Cano/Ryne Sandberg power numbers?

Don't have to worry about Hernandez tonight.

Unless the plan is for him to stay after a start, he'd have to be exposed to waivers. So essentially, one and done?

I'd like him to be our pesky hitter against the AL East (e.g. Pedroia, Bichette). Can he be?
