The Silver Lining Report: Game 1/162

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Chris Davis is doing the best he can to force Elias and Hyde to take action about him remaining on the 25 man roster.

Keep up the good work Chris!

I like the concept.

Zero chance you can keep it up for 162 games

Is there any way to embed videos here since the redesign?

Thanks for the report. I like it.

Love the idea. We need to focus on some positive things with this team. And as is already noted, there were a number of things. I’d even add Davis. He made a pretty good snag and I thought his at bats looked ok even if the result wasn’t.

I absolutely love this thread. I get so tired of all the negativity. If all you want to do is whine and complain about the Orioles then please go follow another team. I feel better now.

Another positive: we're one day closer to picking Adley Rutschman. 

Another positive, OSU commit Mick Abel is a good looking RHP for the 2020 draft.  This Portland area kid is throwing mid 90s as a junior and has climbed into fan graphs top 5 for 2020.  

Yes, I'm a big Oregon State baseball fan

Better chance than "everybody dancin' now" thread

He had some legitimately bad calls against him. Sometimes I think umps subconsciously just figure they'll call close pitches strikes on him since striking out is what he does. He swung the bat for the most part, which is what I'd rather see him do. Saw a good number of pitches.

Hess averaging 94.4 and t96 in the pen after averaging 92ish last year. Hopefully they keep him there.

Just need more warm bodies to burn through starter innings.

Well done, @interloperthis should go a long way in making things tolerable this year.

I will add...Thorne/Palmer. Not sure how much longer we'll have that pair, so savor it.

From Youtube, you just copy and paste the URL.  Not sure about from the MLB.com site, but there should be an option to embed a video.

I can't get the videos from mlb.com to embed.    

 

But I did find this 10 minute highlight reel:

Yup, it's not going to be too much longer I'm sure. Love those guys. Soak it up y'all!
