Nice to have a laugher for once

A laugher is when you have an early big lead and you are able to pull your regulars in the 7th inning on. This was a cliffhanger until Machado got things going in the 8th with the score tied 3-3.

Did you read my post? I said that a competitive game turned into a laugher late.

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!

You went to the games, and I didn't.

You bastard.

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.

The closest I've been to San Diego was transferring flights there. I must say, the airport sucks!

    • This is probably as close to clicking on all cylinders as most teams get.  In any given 24-game period, some guys will be up and others down.  We have 9 players with an OPS+ of 116 or higher.  The four guys you mentioned will have hotter periods, and someone else will be cold then.  That’s baseball.  But the ratio of hot players to cold ones is really good right now. 
    • I don’t see it.  Project guy.  Good upside but can’t see that in the first round. I think they go corner with the first pick unless someone unexpectedly drops. The assumption has been Oline but I think the draft is so deep and so many teams will be taking tackles that the Ravens will elect to wait until later in the draft to get Oline and WR help. Its not a deep corner draft, so getting one early makes sense. If they trade up, I wouldn’t think they trade anything higher than a 4th..could move up 3-6 spots. Trade back will likely get them a pick for next year.
    • Gunnar is our Kyle Tucker but at a more premium position.  
    • I said Gunnar earlier. Before this season, I could have seen a case for Adley.  And I love Adley, great hitter (I don't think he's ever going to be a big power guy, but plate approach, contact, key hits, he's great) leader, heart and soul, etc.   But it's clearly Gunnar.  I didn't expect him to be this good, this fast.  He's separating himself from the rest of the pack, not only on this team but throughout the league. Whether or not an extension can happen is a different story altogether.  But Gunnar's the guy I'd go with first.
    • It is early, but the O's have some clear holes that will prevent a World Series run this season. And it looks like there are some teams playing there way out of contention already, barring a massive improvement in performance, making them likely sellers. At a quick glance, here are the teams that already could be looking to sell at the deadline. Some teams on the list made some offseason moves that signaled they are looking to compete. But early returns aren't looking good, and now they have an old team with pieces someone may find helpful, and without much talent in the pipeline. Tier 1 Losers Rockies White Sox Marlins Tier 2  - Not Looking Good Oakland Giants Angels Astros Cardinals Nationals I haven't really taken much look at the rosters to see what pieces could help us. So, who is selling? And Which of their pitchers have a chance to be on the market?  
    • I still feel like our offense isn't clicking on all cylinders yet. Santander has been down, Adley hasn't found alot of extra base power, Holliday has been a black hole so far, Hays was bad and now injured, Urias hasn't hit well.
    • It should be noted that it was the 8-9 hitters up at the time of that call.  So while it was the wrong call, its not like the Angels definitely tie it if he's called safe.  There is a very good chance Rengifo makes an out a pitch or two later anyway. So yes, bad call, but we didn't steal the game away because of that one call.
