I'll pick him up for you. The raccoon was a nice touch.

The racoon picture was earlier in this thread I think. The Complacent Reynolds add-on is epic. LOL

That takes the cake. At least the players are keeping an open mind. I think this is going to be hell-a fun for the players.

Some players have played two decades n never played in a empty stadium like this (although it might be the Norm for the Phillies soon). It will be quite a story for them.

I could swear I just heard a roar from the crowd.

I know this because they routinely say it in interviews when asked about the crowd noise. I am most definitely not a world class athlete, but I can tell you that I never even noticed the crowd when I was playing ball. Many times I would be told about something that happened in the stands after the game and I was clueless. I missed my Mom or Dad showing up a bunch of times in high school. I'm done trying to convince anyone of this issue. Watch the game and you tell me. They look just like normal.

Appreciate your insight. You are closer to a WCA than most of us.

And you know this because A:) you are a world class athlete or B:) You hang out with a bunch of world class athletes?

LOL, Why does Harbaugh always exhort the crowd to get loud? Do you not think the decibels at Camden yards during last years playoffs was a little hard on the other teams?

Crowd noise in Football is different reason. Teams want the crowd to get loud when the other team is on offense b/c it disrupts communication before a play starts.

      Kimbrel is striking out 14.9 per 9.   Lack of strikeouts hasn’t been an issue for him.

      From what I've understand, the issue is less about park dimensions but about the batting eye behind CF.  So it could have an impact on any type of hitter.

      Didn't former Oriole Closer go right from college to the Orioles Pen after a very brief cup of coffee in the minors?

      That's a BP factor not a ghost runner factor.

      Top Ten Reasons Why the Orioles Are the Best Team in Baseball

      10. Nobody can hit against Orioles pitchers. They cano hit against Cano, Burnes burns them, Means is mean to them, Webb puts them in web of deception, Akin is akin to Koufax at his peak, all they can do is suarez at Suarez, Cole leaves them cold, Bradish bradishes an unhittable slider, hitters bow to Baumann, their hair turns gray against Grayson, and bats cool off against Coulombe. 9. Seeing that everyone else in the rotation is throwing shutouts, in his next start Burnes will hold the opposing team to -1 runs. When the rest of the rotation matches that, he’ll hold them to -2 runs, and on a good day, -5. Opponents will get dizzy running the bases backwards. 8. At some point during the season, when the Orioles lead over the second-place Yankees shrinks to only 20 games and everyone is panicking, we will hear trumpets and the pounding hooves of calvary charging up the steps at Camden Yards, and riding in on a huge orange and black charger will be the savior, who will lead the Orioles to victory . . . yes, the return of Jackson Holiday. 7. Spring Stowers bring Mayo powers. 6. They have a Murderer's Row of Holliday, Nordby, Kjerstad, Mayo, and Stowers … and that’s just the reserves. 5. There once was a closer Kimbrel, Who bragged he’d put hitters in hell, Craig Kimbrel can boast that the game’s in the bag, Cuz his name is an anagram of Limerick Brag, So save after save he’ll befell*. (*We’ll ignore some recent performances.) 4. You can’t spell “Baltimore” without “Mateo RBI” and an “L” for the two Lefty pitchers he’s homered against. 3. The Orioles have given up two or fewer runs for seven straight games, outscoring opponents 29-8. In other words, par. Next they go for birdies, which should be easy for an Oriole. 2. On April 11, Colton Cowser hit his first major league home run. It traveled 438 feet. He sent us a clear message – do I really need to spell out the obvious? Okay. 438 is divisible by 2 x 3 x 73. Who are #2 and #3 on the Orioles? Henderson and Mateo, both shortstops. And who was the shortstop for the ’73 Orioles? Belanger. In 544 plate appearances that year, Belanger hit exactly zero home runs while batting .226. Cowser’s clear message to us? We are no longer hitless wonders. Duh. 1. Oh, and they lead the AL in home runs by ten, in slugging by 42 points, OPS by 27 points, runs by 12, lead the AL East in batting average and in both fielding percentage and efficiency, lead the majors in ERA in May (1.20, and that doesn’t include the 2-0 and 4-2 wins at the end of April), and in a secret vote their starting rotation of the past week was voted Greatest Starting Rotation in History.
