All Torkelson talk reminded me of Justin Smoak, which, in turn, reminded me of Jtrea. He now has a blog about roundabouts. Good for him. https://jtrea81.medium.com/thinking-round-6b3df2c9d1c7

Tides game is interesting. I'll leave it at that.
-
Got yelled at him once this week already--by the grace of god, he'll miss this.
-
I was about to make that comparison. However, after reading the wiki on the subject again, you are technically correct. You can tell my Friday night plans fell through, as I am have semantic debate on late 19th century baseball with a smiling can of corn on the internet.
-
There is a direct lineage between the late 19th century NL Orioles and the AL Orioles of 01-02.
-
The original Orioles became the New York Highlanders which, in turn, became the New York Yankees.

Markakis being inducted into Os HOF
Remember The Alomar replied to Sports Guy's topic in Orioles Talk
My fondest Markakis memory was back in 2008. I was an intern at the Baltimore Sun and shadowed Peter Shmuck to a game. Got to sit in the dugout before the game, chatted with Adam Jones, and even briefly met Mike Mussina. Great experience. During the game itself, I was in the press box. Nick threw out Bobby Abreu at home at one point. Obviously, being with the Sun, I knew I couldn't cheer, but I instinctively fist pumped underneath the table and jammed my index finger on the table's underside. Still vividly remember that. I think Nick also went 4-4 or something like that with a couple doubles. It was a hard game to watch silently. -
You guys are much better at this than I, but very proud of my subpar (by your standards) yet first immaculate grid.

Thursday afternoon May 2: Battle for First Place with MFYs
Remember The Alomar replied to SteveA's topic in Game Threads
I love it when maligned guys come through. -
He just took a DNA test and it turns out he'd 100 percent ground out to first.
-
Very good at throwing baseballs.

A cromulent AB.

No matter what happens, Abraham Toro is a great name. -

Is giving up a leadoff double in a one-run game bad? -

I say this as a compliment, but if I got as stressed about the Birds as you did on a night-to-night basis, I would have sworn them off years ago. -

Seeing Mark Kotsay in 2024 makes me feel ancient. -

Maybe I've just missed it, but that wind graphic was really cool. -
I can take being made fun of for perhaps being too passionate about manipulated media—especially since nothing will top the mockery I received for saying the Orioles ruined Chris Waters career for letting him throw 104 pitches in his debut. Thankfully, I think that one was lost to time.
-
I thought it was funny, honestly. The best part of this place is when some random guy you've been posting with since you were 18 yells at you.
-
Exactly. He was a very good photog.
-
Yeah I'm just coming from a place of working at myriad publications--both hard news and not--where publishing edited content without a disclaimer would get you fired.
-
If this is true, that is wild malpractice. Not that the MLB.com is a journalistic institution, but folks read/watch their production as the record of what actually happened in any given baseball game.
-
So you're saying he's a TORah guy?
-
Yes, but remember when you dared to have the temerity to say that a $1.4 million AAA DH with horrific career numbles was perhaps a questionable signing?
-
lol yes agreed. I feel like every six years there is a desire to reinvent big breaking sliders into a new pitch. I always wonder how often announcers just call pitches off whatever Gameday equivalent they have in the booth
