Baseball is a game of numbers...

In a season in which we get 60% of the games, the first game gave us 55% of the game.

The hyperbole we normally see at the beginning of a season is now sublimely kind of legitimate under normal circumstances..."Mike Stanton is on pace to hit 60 HRs this season."

I'm guessing, at 90 degrees, that's the hottest opening day we will ever see in D.C.

And we got to see Fauci throw out a very wild first pitch.  What can I say, the man doesn't want anyone to catch anything.

"The comfort of the familiar." Lol, I watched some last night and didn't find the empty stadiums and cardboard cutouts particularly familiar or comforting. 

Honestly after the first couple at bats the lack of fans didn’t bother me at all. After 4 months of this I’ve become used to the abnormal. The game on the field looked about the exact same and that was comforting, no doubt about it.

    • Ah. So you can only get one pick per player? That’s a bummer. Reasonable, I suppose. But a bummer nonetheless 
    • It's true that this has been discussed, and there are differing schools of thought.  Some, like myself, feel that the resources required in a Crochet deal, might be better served addressing a more impactful need for 2024: a ToR starter.  As a starter beginning next season, it's likely Crochet's impact will be higher as a strong ToR starter through the final two years of control.  In the meantime, there are quite a few very solid veteran late inning relievers that we could deal for in order to satisfy that need, and that wouldn't require near the cost of a Crochet.
    • It makes sense to me for multiple reasons. 1) IMO we do not have the requisite pitching talent in order to matchup favorably against the leagues best in a 7 game series in October. That needs to change. 2) We don’t need extra offense IMO. Nor a back up catcher. We will be fine offensively if we don’t have one considering without both we are number one in the sport. 3) We could resign Burnes with that 50 million (not sure where you are getting that number). But so many here believe it will be a bad deal. And having another #1 in house protects us from having to be leveraged against signing him.
    • Starter and then reliever and then back to starter. Risky risky risky. 
    • Why do we need to outbid someone for Skubal? We still have Bradish and Grayson for years to come. Also a punchers chance at resigning Corbin Burnes. You know what our record was before we signed Burnes? Best record in the AL. You know what our record has been since Bradish got hurt? Tracked down Yankees and took 3 game lead. We have resources to sign players next year. Elias is a value vs risk guy. He got Burnes with Joey Ortiz which is a top 50-60 prospect. He’s not giving up top 10 prospect for a player with 178 innings pitched. I like Crochet a lot but his track record isn’t long enough.
    • You can sign a Chris Bassitt/Eovaldi/Gray type guy and trade for someone else.  If I were the Os, I would be trying to acquire a pitcher like Detmers, Cabrera, etc…someone with a great arm that we can take away from a garbage org and “fix them”. I also think a Luzardo deal could happen as I could see the Os trying to pry him away for 70 cents on the dollar and I could see Miami saying, we need to do something with him.
    • 6-4 (54 RS, 34 RA) 7-3 (63 RS, 59 RA) 6-4 (40 RS, 28 RA) 7-3 (43 RS, 31 RA) 6-4 (48 RS, 38 RA) 7-3 (58 RS, 29 RA) 7-3 (50 RS, 28 RA) 4-6 (61 RS, 60 RA 7-3 (46 RS, 51 RA) 3-1 vs. TEX, 2-1 at SEA, 2-1 at OAK Three series wins following the first 10-game segment where the O’s had a losing record.  The O’s were outvoted this segment thanks to yesterday’s 19-8 beatdown, but I’ll take 7-3 any day.
