I can remember listening to Jon Miller on the radio as a kid. WTOP. He was great.

Gosh our pitching is so bad. Can anyone give me an update on any of our prospects? Cody Sedlock, DL Hall, Grayson Rodriguez - are any of these guys close to being ready? I apologize I'm out of the loop big time when it comes to minor leagues, I just know we've drafted a bunch of pitchers over the years and none of them have panned out. Is Hunter Harvey still a thing? (a quick glance at his Wikipedia page shows he got credited with a win this year so that's cool I guess).

^ Disappointing to hear, just hope he can rest, rehab, and recover fully. Guys that size tend to have health problems throughout their career. He can certainly be a contributor if he stays on the court. 7'2 players naturally affect a game. This team will rise and fall with Stix, imo.

I think the recruiting class is what gives Maryland top 10 potential. As good as last year's was, this one might be just as good. The late signing of Marial is the sleeper. The fact that we didn't lose anyone significant other than Bruno was huge too. There is a love/hate relationship with Cowan, but he's a good player and I'm glad he's back. I never thought he was seriously considering going pro. He adds valuable senior leadership. I'll keep expectations guarded as I usually do with my sports teams, growing up in the DC Metro area will do that to you, but this could be a very fun team.

Very wise decision by Jalen. With the addition of the Mitchell twins and Donta Scott, this team should be just as good or if not better. If Bruno decides to return then wow.

Probably the best I've seen Cashner pitch in an Orioles uniform. Mixed it up tonight, pretty much hit all his spots. It helps he was facing the Blue Jays. I honestly think we finish with a better record than them this year. Literally no one in their lineup scares me. Maybe Smoak that's it.

My only issue is that a no-hitter is special and Hyde should have given Hess the opportunity to decide himself if he wanted to go for it. At least consult him in the dugout before the inning started. I understand that Hess pitched on Thursday and it is the beginning of the season and all that. I was pretty upset when it happened but now I've calmed down and understand Hyde's reasoning. I still think he should've let Hess go for it.

I used to like Chris Davis a lot. Now I don't. He's so bad. He'll bat .180 this year tops. I think it's the worst contract in the history of MLB.

Really hope he is on the opening day roster. I'm all about letting young talented guys play in the majors, no point in letting him stay in the minors. He's ready.

Just came in to give some props to Mark Trumbo! Loved the acquisition when we got him and love it even more so far! Keep winning.

So happy with the Stone arrival. Hoping that Layman decides to come back, because this team would be super deep and athletic with him. He may decide to leave because this might be his best chance at being drafted since he won't he asked to score as much next year. Saw some people saying Cekovsky or Wiley might transfer but I don't see that happening. Those guys aren't going to get tons of playing time elsewhere. Plus I would like to think that the concept of, "team," has some value. The only reason I can see someone transferring is if they think they can make it to the next level with increased playing time. Team hasn't won anything yet. No guarantee they even make the Sweet 16 next year. But it will be fun to watch. Hoping for a B1G title, regular season and/or tournament.

Ha. I picked some great games to go to. I was treating myself to an early birthday present, splurged on the tickets and hotel. Was worth it. Visit San Diego if you get a chance man, my favorite city in the country. Nice stadium too.

Got back from San Diego...just wanna say that there were a TON of Orioles fans at both games, particularly today. Great to see, apparently a lot of people wanted to take advantage of wonderful San Diego (good choice). I had unbelievable seats today 4 rows behind the Orioles dugout. Could see me an my uncle during the broadcast, we saw later. Manny threw me a ball, got to razz it up with the players. We all were ribbing O'Day before his at bat, he turned around and laughed. When Davis hit that HR I knew immediately it was gone, and by quite a distance. Just a bomb. Great stuff, games like me remind me how much I love this team (as if I didn't already know). Always have always will. Go O's!
