Fri July 16: Kansas City here we come

You can see how the Orioles' lousy W-L record has been affected by their difficult schedule in the first half. Now that we get to play a weaker team, the team's strengths are really on display.

It would take a guy falling down for Severino to finally throw out a base stealer.

I think an overslide would be his best shot -- if the Oriole IFers were better at holding the tag.

You missed Benintendi falling down a couple feet short of 2B on an attempted steal a couple innings back?

So, this game happened 32 years and a day ago.  It was a wee bit more exciting than this game.

Joltin' Joe!!!

Hit back to back batters?  Make them pay for their treachery Trey!

Ok, I'll have to look for a video clip of that later. 

 The incident it’s self was a whole lot of nothing, but Thorne’s call was great. It ends with him lamenting that the Pirates are up on the Mets 2-1. Made me laugh.

We haven’t heard that much emotion that quality of voice, that choice of word, in a very long time and one of the truest indictments of the management is that they think this broadcast crew is competent.

I did. I've tuned in about four different times, gotten disgusted and left, then returned out of curiosity.

Sorry I missed the reference. So I guess Seve managed to keep the ball in the infield that time. I did see his HR.

Trey is in a big funk.

Padres up 23-8 now.

Teams like this version of the Orioles are evidence that there are too many teams in the majors.  It is a complete disservice to major league baseball that a team this devoid of talent should be in the same league as legitimate teams. The league is diluted and the talent gap is huge.  It is embarrassing. It is like a professional dogwalker at a CEO convention with Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Gates.

Yeah, he also had a ball earlier that shockingly he didn’t block when Akin was pitching. Allowed the runner to get to 3B. 
 

But with two extra base hits and a runner thrown out at second, I fear the Orioles will give him an extension.

My dad has been saying this for years. Lot of guys that just shouldn’t be ML players.

He hit a HR Sunday.

And 59 on Monday.
