When nobody claimed the dog after 4 days, Cobb adopted it.

 

Also ........ I was ahead of the curve in terms of reporting this to my fellow Oriole fans. ll

Remember he had to follow him a loooong way and then had to see if anyone wanted him back.  So I'll give him until June to resurrect these worrisome curs....

After this game, the Orioles will (likely) be 5-10 overall.

They need to avoid the fate of what happened to the Blue Jays last season, when they started out with a 10-20 record in the first 30 games of the season, and were never able to dig themselves out of the hole that they had made for themselves.

Cashner appears to have come around fairly quickly after one clunker.

With Cobb, it remains to be seen when exactly he'll come around (probably anywhere between his 2nd and 5th start of the season.)

 

I'm more concerned about whether or not the Orioles can manage to tread water in the team's W-L department for the first 5 or 6 weeks of the season than I am about whether or not Cobb will return to his (usually solid) form.

"That was something that I haven’t felt very often in a long time, just really not having much clue what was going on up there. You can make all the excuses in the world, but at the end of the day you’ve got to figure out a way to get sharp, and get sharp quickly."
