That would be nice.  (Sorry to anyone that has LA2 on /ignore)

Yeah my bad--I checked and there isn't. Must be some other listserve I'm also on.

Hey Ump! Just a reminder! You ARE NOT a part of the action! You ARE NOT anyone's focus or interest. You are INCIDENTAL to this game! A tool, a part of the action that makes it run. NOT anyone's focus!

[LA2]

Skubal having a decent rookie season, but he gives up a lot of home runs and the O's do well against lefties....

Yep, glad that Mateo didn't flub it. (Just following on Gameday and so didn't see it. But he's had a few errors already and so not feeling secure about stuff hit to him yet.)

He seems fairly steady... from what I've seen. His value is at bat and on the bases. Is what he is.

Mancini is in some kind of funk

I wasn't getting my hopes up.

Man, who wd have predicted back in the spring that Cedric Mullins would have one more home run, a few more walks, and 29 more hits than Mancini in roughly the same number of at-bats?

I'm guessing fatigue is a factor.

As great a year as Mancini is having, Ced is MVO.

Harvey could use a quick inning.

K. Grab some pine!

It's hard to do better than "Moon River."

Quick as the Orioles' 1st inning was

[Il BuonO]

Not bad, 12 pitches.

[scOtt]

STFD! 34 pitches now. Not bad. We can work with that.
