Happy Opening Day O's fans. Man is it good to see baseball games that count again after a long winter. The O's added some fireworks to a lifeless Tropicana Field. I actually feel bad for any Major League team to have to open up in a terrible stadium and atmosphere like that. With that said the O's went about their business getting in the win column to kick off the 2015 season as they try to defend their 2014 American League East title.

Chris Tillman got off to a great start going 6 2/3 innings and only allowing one run. The O's got a unearned run in the first inning when new Oriole Travis Snyder drove in the first O's run of the year driving in Alejandro DeAza who reached on an error by Rays starter Chris Archer. They never looked back. DeAz blasted a 2-run homerun in the 5th to put the O's ahead 3-0. Steve Pearce hit a blast in the top of the 6th to give the O's a 4-1 lead. Travis Snyder doubled in a run in the 8th driving in Steve Pearce. Pearce was originally called out but Buck Showalter challenged and the call was overturned giving the O's a 5-1 lead. The Rays got a run back in the bottom of the 8th but Ryan Flaherty blasted his first homerun of the year in the top of the 9th.

It was great to see the O's get six runs with Adam Jones and Manny Machado not really involved too much. Adam did hit a deep fly ball in the first moving DeAza to 3rd. Travis Snyder was huge in his O's debut with 3 hits, a outfield assist and a diving catch. It was a well rounded team win to kick off the 2015 season. Hope to see about 90 to 95 more of these!!! Let's go O's. You heard it From the Booth.

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
