Would his screamed “O” be louder than in the national anthem?

Well Ced

Let's go Coach Ashe! Strategic moves are needed for a sweep. Make it happen!

50,000 plus fans packed Memorial when they returned from Chicago with a W and a record of 1-21

I get concerned that Westburg will be dealt in a package for a starter. I would tend to think that the future infield will include Henderson & Holliday on the left side. Duh! If Mayo develops, Mounty could get dealt as well. We cant keep everybody. Who's manning second & who gets dealt? Unfortunately, it appears Frazier will be this season with hopefully Urias splitting time.

My optimistic pick is 84 wins. I'm really curious to see our record on May 1st. I will be very disappointed if we are at or under .500. Looking over the schedule, I'm hoping for at least 17 W's by May. Middle inning relief has to perform to keep us in games when starter fails.

The Baltimore Sun tans the Hydes as well.

I agree with you. I apologize for not having all correspondence relating to this in one post.

That is correct. My point was more to do with "the manager, Earl" making the decision on playing Blair. That's Hyde's call to rep Mateo in LF.

"Fortunately, I played for a manager (Earl Weaver) who was smart enough to realize that saving a run is just as good as scoring one. As long as I fielded the heck out of my position, he was going to have me in that lineup regardless of my hitting. So I dedicated myself to making a science out of playing center field." - Paul Blair in Sport Magazine (1985 Interview)

"If you know how to cheat, start now" Earl Weaver

This regime & team better find the way to successful years of winning and advancing to post season or I will be hitting my ceiling.

I think they are still a year away, but I still voted yes.

"YES", there is a "remote spring training" chance the Yanks would.

A safe play…at the plate good stuff!

Correct, plus he’s already making a smidgen more than a veteran like Kyle Gibson.

Love to see Hall make the rotation somehow, as well as great springs from Baumann & Zimm to throw a wrench into the think tank. Plus, I’m intrigued by the addition of Cody Asche & how his input will impact the offense.

Damn Angelos! Would love to have Miller back. When I’m having a tough day, I occasionally put on a recorded Miller call. One of my faves is a 9th inning home game 3-2 pitch with 2 down to Hoiles from Norm Charlton with the Mariners in front 13-10. I think you know what happened. Miller’s call sent me running through a brick wall.

Classic stuff! DeCinces with the glove in the 5th!

Lol! Those draft picks have now made my brain go Hobgood & Rowell

This is outstanding! I have memory of hearing this. I used to sit in my car at certain locations and listen to games because it was the only radio that would receive reception in Berks County Pennsylvania. Sadly miss listening to Jon & Joe. I grew up with Chuck & Bill. A bucket list moment would be an O's world series with Jon & Joe making the call.
