Law gets in a shot at the Orioles even when something good happens.

Almost like he's an OH poster or something.

Go back to the game thread and read all the negative comments after Trumbo's league leading 46th HR.

Absolutely fantastic. Anyone know what "Ha-Ji" means? Is that a nickname for Kim?

I know.

The thing is I actually think he has a point. It is just that he is biased and won't admit it. Certain people or teams he goes after.

Biggest win of the season, and Kim with the biggest hit of the season.

As others have said, Kim 7 is in my lineup every night. I don't care where he hits. I don't care who is pitching. Kim 7.

When Kim got back to the dugout after the homer, what did Manny call him -- Bucky?

He's a stubborn *****. [Guess the blank, the last 4 letters spell rick.]

The O's need more hitters like Kim and less hitters like Schoop.

I think we have enough hitters that can't hit their weight or put up an OBP of .300.

The O's need to replace Trumbo and Alvarez with some on base guys w/ some speed.

The O's outhomered the Red Sox by a lot, but still finished 150 runs behind them in offense.

I heard him and Caleb say "ha ji". Would love to get a translation.

If that was easily accomplished wouldn't everyone do it? In fact everyone knows they tried and thought they'd signed just about the only free agent fitting that description last year in Fowler, only to find out he'd played the O's for leverage with his old team.

I hear Bucky and Ha Ji - perhaps LA2 has the answer?

"Aside from the general excitement of the announcers, not a word of which I can really understand beyond “Kim Hyun Soo!” this video is great because it goes on for longer than the MLB clip, which includes Caleb Joseph trying to cheer Kim with what the replies to this tweet tell me is Joseph’s rendition of a common Korean chant, and pitching coach Dave Wallace going for a handshake but ending up with he and Kim bowing to one another instead.

Also:

"Seemingly everything was stacked against the Orioles on Wednesday night. Even precedent was stacked against Kim’s dramatic home run. According to the gurus at MLB’s Statcast, the previous 91 times that a player had hit a ball similar to Kim’s by exit velocity (92.9mph - slow for a home run) and launch angle (25 degrees), none of those balls were home runs.

In a place with wind, the ball may not have been a home run, nor if it was a place where the weather is colder, or even a place where the fences are farther back, or higher. But in the closed-roof Rogers Centre in Toronto last night, everything lined up just right for Kim’s clutch pinch hit home run, keeping the Orioles a game ahead of the Tigers and pulling them within a game of the Jays."

For those who want it, the Korean broadcast of the full Kim AB - 9 pitches over 6+ minutes - is on Youtube, in all its glory.

[Redskins Rick]

I like what Kim said, he was just trying to hit the ball hard and drive in the run.
