I'm not sure what he looked like before, but that swing looks pretty damn powerful to me. 

 

And fast.  He's definitely got an uppercut thing going.  (19) Heston Kjerstad on Twitter: "Finally back swinging the bat again! https://t.co/iWMJyonTNS" / Twitter  Congrats to him for getting to this point, and I can't imagine what it must feel like for him to be able to swing like that again.  Hopefully the O's are giving him good advice on how to proceed - and not do too much too soon. 

He's already got over 3,700 likes from his tweet yesterday.  :)

I'm not offended if you aren't joking. 

I'm not interesting, I'm just a dude at a computer that is pessimistic about the team's future.

In the early days of the OH, many posters had tag lines that appeared at the bottom of all their posts.  “I’m not interesting, I’m just a dude at a computer that is pessimistic about the team’s future” would have been a great one.

Just happy to see the young man doing baseball things on a baseball field. Would love to see him get into some Fall instruct games and then start next year in Delmarva where hopefully he will be fully recovered, thrive, and move quickly.

I think he should go to Fall instructs even if he can’t play in the games, just to get acclimated with the coaches and his teammates.  But yeah, it wouid be great if he could get in some game action.

I have to imagine he will be in the instructs no matter what. The organization would be smart to hire some recently retired former big league or AAA pitchers to come in and throw against him and give him a couple hundred simulated at bats this Fall.

Mine would be, "I'm just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude".

How much strength and conditioning can someone do with myocarditis?  I would imagine as things got better he could do more and more but I can’t imagine he could deadlift any substancial weight until 100% cleared. 

It's been over a year from the original diagnosis.  Hopefully he's getting to the point that he is fully recovered and can go full speed.

The Buffalo Blue Jays yes.

They're playing the Dubai Sandworms.

Gosh, remember that vicious legal fight over that name between the Sandworms and the Savannah Sandnats - the Nats' minor league team - cost Dubai a fortune in bitcoins.

How could I forget, the legal fees the Angelos law firm collected paid for the whole of the Nashville Orioles payroll for three seasons running.

    • It did look like they already have their game legs back--maybe in time to make that dream come true. I live in Brooklyn and it's going to be a challenge to hold my place and my lip in the sports bars over the next three days (unless I go to one filled with Mets fans who are just letting one screen tune into the game in the Bronx).
    • Haha, yeah--Try to "Mooo!" that and see what happens.
    • Adley was 2022, not sure if Gunnar was 2022 or 2023, I think he was also 2022.
    • Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations. 
    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
