Had money on Scherzer/Nats so of course that happened.

Crazy inning, too that loaded the bases for Cubs. Bobbled grounder that was ruled a hit. And two HBP. I was watching and had almost been lulled to sleep thinking the Nats had it in the bag.

I was at this game and started to leave.  I left my seats in closer to the Oriole dugout and was out in the CF Bleacher Section standing in one of the tunnels or openings. An usher tried to get us to leave saying we were blocking the entrance. Huge pet peeve with these guys. We didn't leave just sort of backed up a little but clearly could see the ball leave the park.  I almost got into it at a recent game where something similar happened and I said don't you have anything better to do?  He repeated your blocking the aisle. I was against the side wall and was not  blocking it. As memory serves it was raining  lightly when he hit it and it was to leftfield. Great moment !  My girlfriend said I'm glad you wanted to wait to the end.  I rarely leave a game before it's over. This was one time I will never forget.

 

Fire code, man.

Just watched the highlights on both grandslams.  I have to say, I'm much more of a fan of the Hoiles hit as he seemed to remain much more professional in his celebration.  The Cubs need to remember kids are watching these games.  Nothing wrong with celebrating, but ripping the dude's shirt off and going bat poop crazy?  Come on now.  makes miss Markakis even more.

Markakis was a good player, but his personality was cold towards the media, and by extension the fans. As a fan I never felt any personal connection to him whatsoever. 

I hope every kid in America watched Bote show us how amazing baseball can be.

I would not say Markakis was cold to the media or the fans.   He was shy, soft-spoken and not very, you know, eloquent.   But I felt a deep connection to him due to his modesty and work ethic.

I see what you did there. And they say old dogs...

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
