Nothing. Never been drunk a day in my life.

Don't the Orioles have a better chance with Ellis on the mound? I mean, he's from Tampa Bay and not the Baltimore organization.

Well I’m not able to follow along because I’m working, but it seems that Ellis has that Tampa Bay magic. Four innings, 60 total pitches, one run, on one hit with one walk.

Maybe it’ll take a little bit longer for the Tampa Bay magic pitching dust to rub off.

I tend to chalk this up to unfamiliarity, or the Spenser Watkins syndrome. Hitters unfamiliar with a pitcher will make said pitcher look better than he is.

Just got home and walked in the door.  The Hays and Mountcastle hits happened after I had parked my car and before I got in the house and turned on the TV.  I find game days description of Hays hit interesting.  A line drive to the LF.  Would not expect Gutierrez to go 1st to 3rd on a hit described that way.

      Of course I’ll be watching. Filled with dread in all likelihood. As will most of us.  LOL.

      Very interesting to read through this. Full of optimism…those were good times. Turns out I voted 91-94. Such pessimism…grrr…and even that was too little. Several of the posters should run out and buy lottery tickets because they are definitely prescient.

      With Urias and Westburg back in the lineup...

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      During all the hullabaloo about the team floundering, way too little was said about fundamental baseball judgement and defense. In a game a couple days ago, a guy came up to bat with runners on. This guy is all speed and defense, with no power, and bunted for a single. The radio guys pointed out that with a bunt threat at the plate, the defense moves in to anticipate the bunt, but this wasn’t done. He barely beat out the throw. Even two steps in from the defense would have been the difference. Little flubs like that happen CONSTANTLY, and don’t count as errors, but good teams avoid them without even thinking. The OF collision two days ago. Why did that happen? It shouldn’t have, and wouldn’t have with a good team, yet we’ve had at least three, two of which resulted in serious injury. Westburg and Urias are both solid players with solid fundamentals. Even if they don’t blaze away at the plate, they haven’t forgotten their defense, and we can hope that will be enough to get us to 90 wins.

      I was just reading my unread posts in the thread, and didn’t notice that your post was a week old.   And I don’t consider that I called you out.  The post sort of read like the outcome of the playoffs was so certain that there was no point in watching, so I was ribbing you about it.  Nothing personal intended. I have a feeling you’ll be watching!

      I was expecting Boston to be last and NY to be fourth…I never expected the Jays to be as bad as they’ve been, and the Rays are always good.

      Fewer than 3% of our posters thought the O’s would win under 90 games this year.  They can still win 90, but it will take a 4-3 finish or better to do it.
