to "straight-away right-center field"

How right-center was it?   Last section of the bleachers?

[scOtt]

Generous call there.

Just now, Three Run Homer said:

Before Urias' homer, I was doomscrolling through the team batting stats on MLB.com, figuring that of course the Orioles must have some awful numbers as a team. 

Sure enough, they are hitting .223 collectively for the season...but there are 12 teams that are even worse than that!  The Cubs have a collective batting average of .164.   Their OPS is .661, which is terrible--but only 23rd in MLB.  

Time to lower the pitcher's mound, or something.  

I wonder how much an impact the raised seams are having?

Anyone up in the pen?

Guess that answers that question.

Jim Palmer at home grumbling about leadoff walks, rocking back and forth in his chair... "51%. 51% 51%. 51% 51%. 51%."

Lakins, evidently

I just got here, but I want to reiterate my intense loathing for 7-inning doubleheaders.

Meanwhile, Lakins is in, who went down?

[scOtt]

Laikins is 27th man for BOTH games, right?

 

Not that we'd use him twice...

Man, I remember when those Mariners came out in the mid 90s when Griffey Jr was rocking them...they were so nice.  That hat was awesome.  I was a diehard Orioles fan through and through but you couldn't catch me anywhere near that stupid correct bird hat.  I wore that Mariners hat like it was my job, I knew what was up.

Now it looks terrible.

Do you mean the hat with the trident on it? I think it’s one of the all-time great hats.

Extra man for DHs. 27 man roster.

[scOtt]

Down 3-0 and K's him!!!

No, their current hat.

Work work work....

I’d like to see Lakins over Fry and Armstrong.
