Hopefully it’s a new car and not a Simmons colonial bedroom set.

I'm sure they would go nuts, but they generally don't need much encouragement to do so. If the other team makes a good play, what's wrong with praising them?

Giving credit is fine.  Not being overly excited.  It's not like it's either Thorne style or Hunter style.  I want to feel like the O's announcer wants us to win but is objective.  Not, act like you just won a $1M when the other team gets a back breaking hit.

New car!!!

Givens FINALLY gets one of those close pitches called. Did he kick the ump's puppy?

[Sessh]

Got that strike and Trout complains, but it was also a strike. I love when Palmer gets ticked at the umps. lol

Fanning Trout on 4 strikes won't hurt his market value.

On the pitch that was called a ball, Palmer and I yelled "Oh, come on" in almost perfect unison.

Got him on the next pitch.  But with Trout, he's dangerous enough with 3 strikes to play with, let alone 4.  Anyway, glad Givens got him anyway.  That was some nasty upper 90's heat on the black.

I'm short on beer and getting tired. This game needs to end soon.

Trout is a whiny little ----- tonight because he's not getting Jordan rules like I guess he usually does.

Guess what Mike -- the strikes you were called out on were strikes both times, as was ball 2bin the last at bat.

[O's84]

Robles has a unique rocking motion with his arms before he pitches that I've never seen before.

[scOtt]

Second time tonight Alberto tried to quick bunt. One foul strike and one out...
