Nice range for Hardy up the middle.

Lol. I'm so not trendy. That's what my wife is for.

No FB at work for me.

I really like that when Britton misses, it results in a clean hit, but not usually in a 450 foot HR. That's nice.

Not baseball or Orioles related but' date=' it has taken me away from the game......

"JUMPER" @ Chesapeake Bay bridge. Units on scene, both water and Sandy Point Park Annapolis MD!!!!

Person rescued and Trooper 6 (helo Md State Police)waiting to transport.

Britton looking good!!!![/quote']

They must not have really wanted to do it then, cause the ones who jump off the highest part of the bridge don't get "rescued."

:P I'm on FB, but wouldn't have any idea where to find the game.

If you have an active Comcast e-mail address, or know someone who does, you can watch the game through ESPN3 via comcast.net. Just FYI for everyone. I'm using my cousins comcast e-mail address just so I can see the game at work.

I get espn3 with my verizon fios account...can I use THAT at work?

    • Still better than many internal options. 
    • It will be interesting to see how they handle Norby. Norby can play 2B and corner outfield, but he's a below average defender at 2B.  The Orioles history suggest Norby will be a bench guy for now with Urias slotting in at 3B and Westburg at 2B mostly while Mateo is out. Saying that, Norby give the Orioles a good right-handed bat off the bench and a guy who could spell Mullins with Cowser slotting over to CF.  The question is whether Norby will get some Hays PAs?  I'd personally like to just drop him at 2B and keep Westburg at 3B with Urias on the bench, but that would not be how the Orioles typically break in non "impact" rookies.  Either way, this is a well earned major league debut for Norby. Here's to hoping he's given a chance to play a bit. 
    • I think it’s a fair argument to make about players like Kjerstad. His promotion was questioned at the time as he was raking in AAA and there was not an obvious opportunity to play when promoted. And sure enough he sat on the bench primarily for weeks and was demoted. i think there’s a difference between promoting a player like Kjerstad and promoting a Maton etc. Our top prospects should only be promoted if they are going to get a long leash on playing time a la Holliday (IMO)
    • Notwithstanding age and position, I think I'm still on Team Adley for priority 1. One of the management talking points is around avoiding the risk of "creating complacency" when a ballplayer good enough to rate it gets their forever fortune. I think the other side of that being too stingy is "creating resentment" in your labor force. Burnes is an interesting cat as he's taken some actions that real world illustrate how created resentment looks in the cliches only constrained world of ballplayers and clubs interacting with media. I think Elias/Sig modeling a healthy respect for the opportunity Burnes has just about earned himself might help even if they know today their recommendation to ownership is an aggressive chase that already has the green light.     Information how Burnes fares the next 4-5 months is valuable, especially how his stuff plays against the best of the best once he's 30.     Fun fact ALCS Game 7 could fall 10.22.2024 precisely on Burnes' 30th birthday.   
    • Is Rich Hill an option? I believe he was looking to sign with someone mid year. Would we consider him?
    • They bring them up because we need to have guys on the bench available to pinch hit, pinch run, substitute for injured players, or give somebody a rest.   It's not a matter of not believing in them.  Some will get chances to start and some won't.   Just because a guy is starting every day in AAA doesn't mean he should get a chance to start every day (or even most to the time) in the majors.
