Remember, only the Orioles can't score. with no outs and bases full.

That's the first time in franchise history in which the Orioles scored a run with the bases loaded and nobody out.

Even before they moved to Baltimore in 1954, the Browns never did in 52 seasons from 1902-1953, and the Brewers never did it in 1901.

Willie Mays started his career going 1-for-26 in 1951. 

He was able to turn around enough to claim the National League Rookie of the Year award in the National League that season.

Severino and Alberto really are fun guys to have on a team. They have infectious enthusiasm.

Refreshing. So much better than Garceau. He sets McDonald up really well too.

"Go celebrate responsibly." I can't get enough of this guy.

This was a fun game to watch, from the 8th inning on!

Cal had a really bad start in ‘82.   7 for 60 but won ROY.    He was 5 for 39 in a Sept. call up in ‘81, so 12 for 99 overall before he turned it around.

Well, he didn't exactly have much to work with last year so I gave him a pass. I get what he's trying to do, but I think he has to make adjustments when it's clear his pitcher lost it. The problem is that Castro has struggled so bad against lefties this year and Hyde doesn't seem to trust Fry.

I think the problem was letting Sulser try a second inning. I think he’s ok for four outs or X number of pitches but Hyde Almost always leaves guys in too long.

This guy Rob Long is a madman. 4 hours every morning and probably 5-6 hours every night. Great having him on.

I was OK with it. The walk to JD was borderline intentional with the base open. He then walks Bogaerts. That's really the first sign he might be in trouble. You could take him out but as you said Sulser is the better matchup. Didn't work out but I'm OK with the thinking.

I made a walkoff celebration martini.  Hope it's not the last one.
