What’s with the Friday night O’s cap every game on this trip? Also, I like the Black Orioles jersey, but I thought on the road, we displayed Baltimore.

That’s why I have a problem. If I can’t see the play, I need to be told what just happened, not what “Ribeye” had for dinner.

I find this interesting, because the problem you describe seems much more pronounced with the radio team. Or maybe it’s just more noticeable on a radio broadcast because I can’t see for myself.

They are handed some BMX bicycle handlebars.

I’m a fan of high fives to your teammates

And this would be the music played if I were a closer coming in from the bullpen.

This would be my walk up.

10k Friday, 7k+ Saturday. 5k+ today. Harbor Park holds about 12. They weren’t close to sold out last year for the three championship games.

This didn’t make any sense to me. He was sent down to get more experience at 2nd.

If today is the first step towards the ultimate goal of a World Series championship, it will be the best, hands down.

As we were watching, I told my wife, “If I’m dreaming, don’t wake me “.

Joe At the belly.

I think the O’s should stop in Norfolk on their way back to Baltimore for an exhibition with the AAA affiliate. Full disclosure: I live in Norfolk

I agree. Sometimes they didn’t even announce who was at bat. It would have been nice to get a little background info on the batters.

He hired Elias, and for that, I will always be grateful.

I hate everything about the Yankees, but have to admit, I respect the fact that they basically have only one iconic hat. I wish we only used cartoon bird with all black.

Westburg until Holliday is ready, then Westburg becomes a super-utility. Ortiz at short and Gunnar at third.

Ortiz, because stellar defense is undervalued and Josenberger because I used to work with his Mom.

I much prefer a homegrown team who outworks and outsmarts the opposition to a bunch of store bought overpaid mercenaries.

This is what I’m thinking.

I took the curtain. Partly because I still feel the wildcard is only a degree removed from a participation trophy.

Rookie of the Year. Last year’s runner up for Rookie of the Year. #1 prospect. #1 farm system. AAA Champions.

Have to wonder where Felix would have finished, had he remained healthy and continued on the trajectory he was tracking.

1. LF Bradfield 2. 2b Holliday 3. 3b Henderson 4. 1b Mayo 5. DH Kjerstad 6. C Rutchman 7. RF Cowser 8. SS Ortiz 9. CF Mullins Bench: Westburg, Horvath, Basallo, Josenberger

That’s what happens when you have an 84-78 wildcard team and a 90-72 wildcard team in the World Series. MLB chose quantity over quality.
