Hopefully I'm not the only one posting here, and since we've got some Orioles in it, I don't think it should get deleted.

Jones and Cruz haven't gotten a hit yet, but the AL leads 3-2 in the top of the 4th.

I for one, am sad to see Jeter go......2 for 2.

Funny moment happened with Jeter batting in the first. As soon as the pitch is thrown a guy yells "overrated", and Jeter promptly hits a double.

Sorry I haven't posted lately, I was just wiping the vomit off my carpet after that nauseating jeter suckfest.

Hope it's finally over. But wdn't surprise me if they kept spouting the stuff the whole game--all the way up to the MVP award.

I was looking for a game thread myself. A shame we haven't heard from the O's bats yet.. hopefully this inning. I love our the announcers have literally not said a single word about any of the 3 O's.. other than to say they haven't talked about Jones. At least we won't hear too much more about Jeter tonight. He deserves a lot of respect and what not.. but its basically all they talk about.

    • Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!
    • Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.
    • SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.
    • Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.
    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
