We have Means coming back soon, which means Wells will probably go to the bullpen - or maybe even Irvin. No way I give up Kjerstad for anyone other than a top line starter that we have control over for a long time - like another #1. Kjerstad could be a 40 home run guy.

It's the easiest part of their schedule, so I couldn't disagree more. They won 101 games last year with largely the same roster. Their chemistry is no issue. I hope we go at least 20-10.

the kid is barely out of high school. He needs more at bats in triple A - why hurt his confidence by bringing him up way too soon. It really doens't matter - he'll be playing all the time soon enough.

I was closing my eyes or looking away too! That camera from center field was awful. At least I got to see the game on MLB.tv - Palmer is always a fun listen.

I wonder if the blackout rules apply to spring training games. I'm in CT and normally can't get Red Sox or Yankee games on MLB.TV. Don't have cable...for these games I could always watch them later I guess.

Great news - cut the cord and I would think an option of buying a package to view the games will then be on the table. Each team should really have their own app that allows you to just view that team's games. I am out of state and have the MLB package. It's much better than paying ridiculous fees for Comcast all year. I will be paying $95 for the MLB package in a week or so. That gives me access to all of the teams, which I don't really use until the end of the season during a pennant race.

Hyde said Means will be ready to pitch in April, so I don't think so. We are much better off. Burns is a better pitcher than Bradish and throws more innings typically, and you are adding Means to Grayson, DK, Wells and Irvin.

Me too. I was also impressed with Westburg - obviously Gunnar stepped up, but I like the fight in Westie. I would hold on to him for sure and not include him in a trade. Have to keep Gunnar, Westburg, Jackson H together. DL Hall and Grayson are in that same young group. Lots of others - we'll see who ends up sticking next year. We may not win more games than this year, but we should be a better team based on experience alone.

scratch that, I was 13.

Looks like Kremer is up tomorrow night - Let's gOOOOOOOO's!

I was 17 - loved that team. I was heartbroken when they lost the WS in 79' to the Pirates after being up 3-1.

Such an amazing night - what a great team! They're so much fun to watch. I have a feeling Toronto makes it into the playoffs and we play/beat them in the first series and then we avoid Houston in the ALDS. One step at a time, but I wouldn't be shocked if it all works out for us. Orioles Magic is in full force!

That would be epic to have Jim Palmer throwing out the first pitch at Camden Yards of the 2023 WS!!!!

I totally agree. Not many Orioles have won multiple WS titles, Hall of Famer, Cy Young, and is still well connected to the team. It's really a no brainer to me.
