Big Al

As I watched Mateo jog to first with bat still in hand on what could have been an inside the park home run, I thought back to the days of the Kangaroo court. Frank Robinson was the perfect person to perform the duties of the judge (established veteran superstar with a hard nosed, no nonsense mentality). If we were to reinstate "the court" who would be the best candidate to hold the gavel and administer punishment?

If the playoffs started today, three AL East teams would make it. Neither NY nor Boston make the cut.

I just want the kind of organization that every year has reasonable expectations to compete for the WS. No “windows of opportunity” and no Marlin, win and then blow it up.

O’s have lost every game when they have worn these abominations. With one exception, June 10 when they barely beat a pathetic KC 3-2. If we know these uniforms are cursed, as superstitious as baseball players are, the team is painfully aware.

Please. They obviously have bad karma.

I think “I Love Rock and Roll” should replace “Thank God I’m a Country Boy “.

They need to focus more on the activity on the field, and stop talking about “Ribeye “.

In the lower concourse, there are many beer stores, where you grab a can or two, self checkout and are back in your seat before the next inning starts ️

I was at all three games this weekend. I love the grab your own beer shops.

I don’t care who gets the MVP. Let’s just lock them both up.

That’s what I thought I heard.

I was at the game today. In addition to going 2 for 3 with 2 walks, Joey was part of 3 double plays. One of which he had to turn almost a complete 360 and he still made a perfect throw.

Mateo will feel the pressure from the youth movement. He will also benefit from the rule changes.

If healthy, .300+ avg. .800+ OPS. 25 HR. And gold glove level defense.

It cost Means a perfect game.

MASN always seems turn up the crowd mic so loud that I have trouble hearing the announcers. Yesterday seemed worse than usual.

Means comes back early and doesn’t miss a beat. Hall and GRod exceed expectations. Kremer and Bradish prove last season wasn’t a fluke, making Gibson expendable so we trade him for a handful of blue chip prospects.

I always have and always will simply call it Camden Yards.

They should make the announcement in conjunction with a 5% ticket price decrease.

Better?

I predict in the next five years, someone will steal 100.

I love how we are consistently getting 6 on these lists, but they aren’t always the same 6. We have a pool of 11 or 12 from which to choose. Some publications are probably wary of making their list too Oriole heavy.

I think Westburg will start the season in Norfolk and percolate until an injury, trade or lack of production from a starter warrants a call up.
