Memorable Roch Kubatko quotes

[Redskins Rick]

Here is proof that Roch is trolling in OH, and he mentions our own lovable CoC:

It wasn’t a can of corn, but Kim made the play.

My favorite was just the other day

"The Orioles are the only undefeated team left in the majors. The ‘72 Dolphins have champagne on ice in case the streak ends."

[Redskins Rick]

A good one:

This lineup will make up for plenty of sins.

[Tony-OH]

This made me lol

** Talking about Jiminez** There’s also one ejection, which came on April 17, 2015 after he hit Pablo Sandoval.

He’d have to aim for the dugout to repeat that gesture.

For whatever reason, Bellino didn’t ask for help. He couldn’t find the strike zone. Perhaps he also had trouble locating third base umpire Tony Randazzo.

Roch talking about Wieters and his ejection.

* Major props to reliever Darren O’Day for using “egregious” and “petulant” in yesterday’s postgame interview. This guy is special.

* Former reliever Grant Balfour threw out the ceremonial first pitch yesterday before the Rays-Athletics game at Tropicana Field. He closed for both teams in the past, so it seemed like an appropriate gesture.

No word on whether Rays physician Dr. Koco Eaton checked Balfour’s medicals again and ripped other teams for not letting him throw out the first pitch.

Good stuff.

In Roch's Q & A today:

Will Caleb Joseph get an RBI this season?

Yes. He'd bet his right ... never mind.

From School of Roch today:

Wieters stayed in the game after being hit by an Ivan Nova pitch in the first. It’s impossible to determine how his speed is impacted, since he has none. He’d be the first to point it out.

[Redskins Rick]

Roch had this gem today:

First base umpire Vic Carapazza worked tonight, but probably shouldn’t have been paid.

"Any discussion of Cy Young Award candidates in the American League must include Orioles closer Zach Britton. To omit him would be like forgetting to wear pants.

OK, that’s probably a poor analogy. There are no laws against omitting Britton. It would be a mistake, but not indecent. You’d be exposing yourself in a completely different way."

Triggs is making his second major league start. He allowed one run and three hits in three innings against the Angels on June 18. He also replaced an injured Rich Hill in the first inning of a July 17 game against the Blue Jays, pitched one inning and was nailed on the shin by a comebacker.

Maybe the Orioles can solve him. Maybe a few of them received A’s in ... wait for it ... Triggonometry.

I can’t remember the last time that I missed a series at Yankee Stadium, but my daughter is getting married this weekend and she wouldn’t go along with my “train back and forth” idea. MASNsports.com colleague Steve Melewski will be with the team if he doesn’t get lost in Queens. Those subways go in both directions.

Jeez, Roch's daughter was like 14 years old when he started his blog. Now I feel old.

She was also 14 last time Gallardo was a good pitcher.
