vs. TWINS, 4/05 (Home Opener)

[Grt 2BA FL Gator]

I would have PH Pearce for Flaherty, myself.

That's what I was thinking. Can't you PH Pearce there and still have Casilla come and be the defensive replacement?

[Solstatic]

I'm not sure who has a weirder baseball name. Plouffe or Dinkleman

[Rex Thunder]

Why do I feel like we r going to be jinxed in these one run games this year. And r going to win plenty of games by more than one, but the joojoo tank is empty from last season in these types of games.

[Greg]

2B Has hurt the O's down today.

[O's84]

Please this would be a bad loss. Come on guys, shut em down and make one last charge at em.

[Grt 2BA FL Gator]

Ayala's fastball is not as sharp right now as it was when he was good last year.

yeah really, I feel like I have been watching this game for 8 hours.

While I certainly hope that after today we're 3-1 instead of 2-2, but no matter how it ends up I'm having a great time watching this team so far in 2013. I think I may be beginning the process of finally shedding the "waiting for the wheels to fall off as they inevitably do" mentality!

[MachadOboutManny]

Indeed we have missed Brian Roberts and his good at bats today.

Roberts was coming through with the late inning hits. Brob going the other way is always a thing of beauty. We need him back in a big way. What a fluke injury.

[Orioles4Life21]

We got this guys. No doubt. I have a feeling we'll walk off.

[Norfolk orioles]

I don't like Ayala still being in this game.

[Grt 2BA FL Gator]

We got this guys. No doubt. I have a feeling we'll walk off.

As long as we hold it here.

Couldnt agree more.

I think with Brian we are winning this thing. We have dealt with adversity and we'll figure out how to grab this W imo. The enthusiasm is back in Baltimore and thats a beautiful thing.

(Machado is amazing defensively)

[elextrano8]

Am I alone in wanting to keep Machado at 3B for the long-term?

[Orioles4Life21]

As long as we hold it here.

No doubt. We got this. Good vibes.
