Agreed. Not sure how Hicks missed that.

I love Cedric but his noodle arm doesn’t make that play.

Damn. Needs that DP.

This is where it feels like the game is getting away from him a little.

Gotta get that glove down.

That was an out but it was still a hell of an at bat by O’Hearn.

Wtf it’s on MASN after the directtv guide said something else was on. I was trying to watch it on MLB Network. How’d we get our 3 runs?

Yup.

Is anyone else blacked out???

WHAT IN THE **** WHY WAS I WATCHING THE GAME ON MLB NETWORK AND THEN THEY PUT UP A BLUE BLACKOUT SCREEN WHAT IN THE ****.

Ok. Mr. Splash.

Shouldn’t everyone know by now that Adley is a disappointment this year and has terrible exit velocities? Who would like such a player?

Your mom is banged up.

Cowser is getting on base.

Is it too much to ask to get Henderson, Rutschman, Cowser and Westburg in the lineup all together at once.

Mountcastle DH against a RHP are you out of your ****ing mind

I'm not a non-believer. I just want to see how he bounces back from a bad start the next time he has one. I'd also like to see a slight uptick in the K rate. But overall, he's been very encouraging.

In regards to Devo, I agree that he was a little soft spoken but half you guys are expecting Colton Cowser to come up and hit like Willie Mays right away, it's not a surprise that you're freaking impatient about your broadcasters, too.

I think that's why I don't like him. And he was a d-bag when covering the Skins, too. Quite a fall for that guy, WaPo, NFL Network and NFL.com, NFL Total Access, Schefter's replacement on the NFL Network...And now he's at MASN. I mean, what a dork. He's from Baltimore and he used to be a Red Sox fan before switching to the Orioles.

Here's hoping G-Rod learned something.

Do the reverse: if we had Ohtani and another team called offering us that package, what would your reaction be?

Hell yes you do that, I think any of us would, too. I think the Angels would hang up the phone laughing though.

I'll also add that while I think the Rays certainly have the prospect capital to swing an Ohtani trade, I don't see them being able to retain him as a free agent. I don't see how an international superstar and arguably the face of MLB would settle for a team (albeit a fantastic team) playing in a dump like the Trop and in a 2nd rate MLB city. That's the thing, I think any team that trades for him is going to do whatever it takes to not let him get to free agency.

I think they're gonna trade Ohtani. I don't see how he stays, he's voiced his frustration multiple times...even though he's been as diplomatic as he can possibly be, you don't have to read a tea leaf to understand that he's not happy. I don't blame him, I bet when he first thought about teaming up with Mike Trout 5 years ago, he figured they'd be a contender. So even if the Angels somehow match an offer from a team like the Dodgers, I don't see how he chooses Anaheim again. They have to trade him. They can't let him walk, they need talent back. If they let him walk, that would be a monumentally boneheaded move. As far as the Yankees trying to trade for him, go right ahead, especially if it takes their only two top 100 prospects to do it. It might make them formidable for the next 2-3 years but I'm all for them depleting their system as much as they possibly can. I'm assuming it would take their two Top 100 guys and then 4-5 more real low level scratch-off lottery ticket types. I'm assuming the Rays could put together a much more appealing package. I'd be really surprised if they don't trade him. Dunno, I don't think it's shocking that a guy who has to fly 3,000 miles and is a full time pitcher and hitter doesn't hit particularly well at 3/4 ballparks. It's a grind. It's a small sample size, to be sure. But I think he'd quickly erase Judge's Yankees jerkoff/AL home run season record if he were to play in NYC with that stupid right field. I like all your points, but I would never count those two teams out, their resources are practically unlimited. The future doesn't look particularly bright for either of them and that's great for us. Your ultimate point is correct, everything that goes up must eventually come down. And that includes the Orioles, too. The Yankees have had some dull periods in their history but history has shown that they usually figure out ways to correct course. Same with the Sox to a lesser extent.

Jason Heyward is one of those “he’s still in the league?” guys.
