I conked last night about 8:30 after putting the kiddos to bed. Woke up around 10 -- just in time for the game. Watched/game threaded 'til midnight. Left the game thread at midnight, but continued to watch/doze.

Funny/weird/higher power story: I've been wearing O's t-shirts or jerseys to work everyday for weeks now. I've been mostly using my Wieters, Markakis, B. Robinson jerseys. Yesterday, in honor of the 18 inning marathon -- I decide to shake it up a bit and wear my beloved BRob jersey. Rooting through the closet, I come across an AJ jersey. :confused: I don't remember purchasing or receiving an AJ jersey. Hmmmmm. It still has the tag on it. Whaaaaaaat? Weirdness.

Deciding that this is an omen, I wear my AJ jersey yesterday. I took it off (wearing a t-shirt underneath, gutter-mind bobmc ;)) when I gave the kiddos a bath. Fell asleep without putting it back on. Realized my error of non-jersey-wearing around 10:30, 11pm and immediately jumped up and put it on.

Mojo. Although the AJ mojo did not immediately kick in, it did eventually. I <3 <3 <3 it. :D

    • Exciting night.     His arm could still explode on his next pitch like anybody, but the scenario feels very Dodgers. The rosiest scenario is Bradish and Grayson spend the rest of their Orioles pitching careers like Glasnow or Yamamoto, or Ohtani starting next year. He was a hand-me-down from Duquette, but he's the one getting to have the career so far that Sigbot envisioned for Brady Aiken or Forrest Whitley.     Watching management manage and the player want to be unshackled figures to be fine entertainment. I guess an arbitrator wouldn't give money for regular season stats you were forecasted to have but didn't have because your talent was being rationed.    I'm fuzzy if postseason stats get to count in arbitration.
    • Is there a backpedalling option to DFA where you can pull the guy back and put him back on your 40 man?
    • I agree with your characterization.  See my earlier post before all the expert analysis of Holliday’s weightlifting exploits.  I’m just making a general observation that Cal needs to be more careful now.  This comment doesn’t particularly concern me.  
    • That’s fine. I’m just saying, Mullins doesn’t have a track record of being a star at the plate and he did not look as good visually over the first 3 week as the OPS stated.
    • But he's expressing his opinion in hindsight and not questioning the actual move to bring him up.   He not saying he wouldn't have brought him up.  He's saying that since he struggled so much MAYBE he needed more AAA time.  Maybe he was affected by the hoopla.   He was questioned on why Holliday struggled.   He gave the same guesses the rest of the world is giving, including Elias.    His answer equates to "I don't really know but it could be this".   It's not even close to "At the time, I thought they called him up too soon".
    • He’s under the ball, and pulling everything.  It’s either strikeouts, pop outs, or grounders to the right side.  I agree it’s very tough to watch.  I still say he he’ll get at least another 4-6 weeks to snap out of it before the O’s make any significant change to his role.  
    • My hope is that someone will be anxious to have him and will trade us something in order to jump the line.
