He appeared to be antsy yes.  He made his debut though so that’s some measure of progress.  I’m happy to see the prospects experience a taste of the highest level, even in exhibition.

I wasn't meaning to be dismissive of the young man - great to see him get a taste of the "bigs" and show his promise in CF.  Nice to see Ryan Mc play well in CF and a ribbie,  Bannon at third and the other JC (Escarra) play first and run the bases!  Zimmie didn't disappoint either!

I didn’t take it that way.  It’s not an outlandish observation by any stretch.  He seemed to be trying to either catch up or speed things up.  
These are steps you’re outlining and my inner O’s fan is loving the idea of building on them.  I’m content that we’re aware enough to both appreciate them and recognize that they’re just a part of a bigger picture.  Wonder who’ll get in late next game and we only have to wait 20 hours to find out.

Today was a very enjoyable game to watch on tv also.  The new PBP announcer, Geoff Arnold, was excellent and teamed with Big Ben made a great tandem.  Getting a W with Wojo, Zim and Hanhold looking good plus the youngsters made it a different feel from yesterday's debacles.  Keep bringing it Eric!

    • It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.
    • Let's go Tampa! Actually, I'm fired up for the offseason.
    • Not fired up, per se, but engaged in the ramp-up to playoff baseball. On one hand, it's like the spring training phase of gearing up for playoffs. On the other hand, it's like the playoffs have already begun. We're qualified for round 1, which consists of the next 6 games. Even watching the other teams play now is entertaining, as they jostle for entry to the next round. 
    • I really think that Westburg is the difference maker for us. I don't know why, but the offense just doesn't run right without him... like an engine that needs a tune up. I'm glad he's back with a week to go in the regular season.
    • Don't be too hard on yourself OP. We've all been there. For me, I usually hit a frustration point mid-late season and then start to just accept things. Baseball is a very weird, very inscrutable game sometimes. I've driven myself a bit nuts this season with the Adley thing because it's one of those baseball things that just doesn't make a lot of sense. Same with the pitching injuries.  Each season is a little narrative. This one will be the year we had a bunch of injuries, the year of the RISP regression, the year of the rookie struggles, the year of the questionable Elias trades, the year we couldn't follow up on the 100-win season, etc. And yet - it will be a playoff year. And that's the only goal of every regular season: make the playoffs. Hopefully our playoff narrative will change this time around. 
    • I’m fired up for sure. We are finally full strength offensively and this stretch of games will be a great way for this team to gel down the stretch. The AL East is still attainable so let’s kick ass from here and see where we land!
    • Westburg is back. Everything is fine now. Enjoy the championship run.
