vs. TWINS, 4/04 (Opening Day)

[25 Nuggets]

Great way to start the season. I hope we're still looking like this at the AS Break.

I feel like if it weren't for the rain, the Orioles would've won by a larger margin. Which is good.

Just when you think, "oh no - rally killer", Matt comes through. Nice redemption.

[Ripken]

It's just what we thought: a strong starting rotation, a shaky bullpen, and a powerless offense.

Villanova Hope it is a better game then most of them

If Carolina wins it'll be just in time to hear the results of the NCAA investigation. (well, a month away but still)

BIZARRO!

5 walks today!

Great win, we are 43-20 in OP in our history.

Do we have a lineup that can play small ball?

Trumbooooo's 4 hits!

[NashLumber]

And the other good news is all the bullpen arms can rest for a day and everyone can sleep in (if you're an Oriole - not us).

Game ends at 8:45 pm. Started at 3:05 pm. Close to six hours. Tough game but we end our bad luck against the Twins. Love it

Buck says in the post game that Joey should have caught that ball because the next pitch could have been two runs if Suzuki gets a hit. It was and always is the right play. Giving away outs hoping for a better outcome

isn't very smart IMO. If you can get the out, you should get the out.

That's not what he says. He said you take the out there because you feel good about a 2-2 tie in the 7th with our bullpen. It's debeateable. There is no "not very smart" answers here so stop with that crap. There are differing thoughts on the matter and Buck was supporting his player.

Great win. Always something extra special about taking the home opener (quasi-playoff atmosphere)- particularly in a walk off. Helps establish the "bond" between the fans and the new roster right away (IMHO). Hopefully we can capitalize on it and put together a great opening homestand to propel us into 2016. Go O's!
