I hope I was clear, that I do not run in musician circles that do anything stronger than pot. That's about as wild as my musical network gets. I don't partake as smoking adversely affects my voice. I may have heard of Special K on some crime show, but it wasn't anything that stuck in my head. The cereal is what comes to mind. I like the Silent K nickname better anyway.

Pretty much the same for me, and I'm a musician and supposedly more exposed to the so-called drug culture the last 40 years. But I'm also 62 and not hip to the street, as such. For the record, if he starts blazing at the bat like Gunnar early on, I'll be happy to call him Kjer-STUD.

Different era obviously, but Rochester AAA manager Earl Weaver replaced O's skipper Hank Bauer in '68, just a year and a half after Bauer won the World Series.

I feel that way, too. I keep thinking about 2005. 2005: 10 games over .500 on June 20th. 1st place, two games up. Shortly after they went on a 2-16 skid, and their last game at .500 was at the the start of that awful home 4 game series in late July when the White Sox swept them, and Raffy was exposed as taking PEDs. They fell under .500 that series and kept on sinking. 2024: 24 games over .500 on June 20th. 2nd place, a half game back. Then immediately lose five straight. Due to their great start, they can't finish 14 under .500, but the dive feels eerily similar with all of the injuries, dormant bats, and all happening at the same time of year. The floor coming out from underneath them feels a lot like it. That team was cooked by late July and by the first week of August, Mazzilli got the axe. That won't happen with Hyde this time, as they had a fine start this year, but this can't happen two years in a row under him.

Just like they drew it up. At the Johns Hopkins Asylum.

Feels like this.

He got two more hits on Thursday night when I was there. Strong arm, but I think he overthrew one, but maybe the guy had the base stolen already. Rogers looked good, but one inning he loaded the bases. But he got out with no score. Jacob Webb looked decent.

That one got my attention. I was up in the next section. Impressed with him in my first eyes on him experience.

I was at this one tonight. Basallo is one big dude. Impressed in seeing him for the first time ever.

Scary and remarkable. Caleb Joseph says hold my beer.

I think until the O's play with exclusively throwback '70 - '71 unis, complete with '70s era stirrups and sideburns, someone will find a jinx to affix to what the O's wear. I like all the O's uni combinations except with the City Connect outfit included black pants. I'm glad they cleared that up. Not a fan of the "O" black cap, but I just avert my eyes during the close ups.

Probably a good argument for mods to move this thread to the lineup thread.

Agreed. An agreement with Mr. Splash to soak him after any temper tantrums would probably get that under control.

I’m about an hour behind in the game, and thus the thread. So were you the guy in the white shirt, waving and seated just behind the ump?

I think so. I like them, too. The pattern looks like a computer circuit design. Is there some computer connection to CLE? I don't like the stripes as much, though. Reminds me too much of soccer. I thought maybe a river on fire would be a good idea for the design.

This reminds me. I have an hour and five minutes to get the ABC Store.

mayo?

Is the rule game played or days on the roster?

He slops that mayo so we don't have to.

For everyone's sake, let's hope they don't make him compete in the live condiment race.

Fudge. Bring in The Mayo. Get well soon, Westy.

Is the MASN audio less than acceptable? Seems like there's a frog (a mild distortion) in Ben and Kevin's voice. I'm watching on MLB-TV on my Mac. Don't have the same problem with the Marlins-Rays game that I also have on (2 Stowers Ks so far).

Yeah, that's what I recall, too. Not a good look.

Gotcha. Thanks, that make sense. I do remember some gold undergarments associated with Huff, and also some whining about the lack of nightlife, but didn't know how Wieters figured into it.
