Did he just say Zack Britton went to Houston?

Sounds like something Gary would say. Hunter and Bordick really make me miss the guy. A drunk Gary Thorne is still way better than these two. I'd increase Palmer's pay if he'd do more games. God these two are insufferable together and so bland and boring.

When Vlad Jr came up and struggled a bit, I fantasized a bit about him not panning out, being a colossal bust.

Unfortunately,  I don't think that's going to happen.  And we're going to have to deal with him for a long, long time.

He's still going to end up colossal.

Lad is an absolute unit.

Indeed, but if he doesn't control his weight, he'll go the way of guys like Cecil Fielder and Mo Vaughn. It will wear him down over time. That would be a shame.

What is the consensus around here regarding the radio announcers?  I like Kevin Brown just fine, but Dave Johnson is hard to listen to.

I like them both.  I know Dave Johnson rubs people the wrong way but I like him cause he's kind of a curmudgeon GET OFF MY LAWN type.

They were always talking about the Dominican home cooking that Vlad Sr. brought into the O's clubhouse. Hard to resist I'll bet.

He'd be a perfect, if his body hadn't failed him guy.  How is the scene in Baltimore not different than how it was under Dan and Buck?

I was thinking about that this afternoon, the scene now IS different:  because there’s a whole new regime, it is analogous to a change of scenery all by itself, but I wonder if “change of scenery” is actually something psychological that you need the physical change in addition to whatever adjustments a new coaching staff would make.

Yeah, DJ always seems to have a chip on his shoulder just under the surface because he missed the era when salaries really went crazy. Even for meh pitchers like him. And yes, "back in our day we pitched complete games! Blister? Rub some dirt on it."

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
