It's amazing to think (as they talk about what a win today would do)- how easily we could be undefeated on this road trip.

The game in Minnesota we gave away with countless blunders and blown opportunities after being up 3. Albers in Toronto had a funky off night. Even last night that first inning couldve been avoided minus that errant pick off throw. That said- we GOTTA come back and win this game.

To quote Buck Martinez....

"Anytime you get hit on that knee...there isn't much meat....it's...umm.....a place you can have an injury."

I didn't know he was a doctor...:D

He's not, just has a knack for stating the obvious

Every time I see Youk, he moves higher and higher on my "Most Hated things in New England" list...and that's a looong list.

I couldnt agree more. The dude just seems so cocky. Must be the goatee.

I agree with that play by the way. They werent doubling up lugo IMO.

    • I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses. 
    • How did the moustache work for Austin Hays?
    • Thanks for the kind words @HbgOsFan and thanks especially for reading them.
    • I just think it’s too soon to think about sending him down.  Two more weeks like this?  It definitely would be time.  But I’ll bet we don’t see two more weeks like this.  
    • Heston hit an absolute bomb tonight. A couple of other hard hit balls from other guys that didn’t pay off. Norby threw a ball into the stands on a relay home.  Stowers lollygagged (that’s right lollygaggers!) a ground ball into shallow left center into a double for the Shrimp. That runner scored on a single to right.  Defense last night was half assed as well. Daniel Johnson had the best defensive play of the game tonight - hosed a guy at third on a fly ball to right.    Victor Mesa Jr. is legit.
