I thought that one might go, I guess not.

There have been a few shots like that over the past few days where I thought they were going to go out but they ended up on the track.

Yeah, @Philip, maybe Hyde is just a genius.

Yeah? How much bitcoin has he bought? Huh? Huh?

I see #75 in an Orioles uniform, I think of Alan Mills.

Anyone else I'm missing?

So what do we have in Ellis?  Is he a long-term staple to the next good team/rotation?  Or just a  fill-in until we bring in the cavalry?  I'm impressed with what I'm seeing from him.

 

Don't have a long list of guys that deserve spots in the rotation in front of him in 2022.

You had me at "Don't have a long list of guys that deserve spots in the rotation"

Wow, Rickey never went 30/30. I guess that makes sense but figured he would have in the year he won MVP.  As great as he was, he never hit 30 homers.  He probably would if he was playing today, though.

McKenna can dial it in now.  He has his hit for September.

Now I have to find a list of 30-30 guys all time.

If someone would have asked me which two Orioles had done the 25-25, I would have never guessed Jackson and Baylor.

I would have guessed Blair, or Jones, or Anderson, or Mora, or Tejada

I suppose we have to root for the home team, but the talk by the broadcasters about how Mountcastle needs to be getting rookie of the year buzz when he’s got .9 WAR while Adolis  Garcia has 3.8 is kind of ridiculous.

I am happy Mountcastle having a good year, but doubt he is even second or third in ROY thoughts.

I’m always amazed that Bobby Bonds did it seven times. He was incredibly large, and I never thought of him as a fast guy

Pretty good company to be in if Mullins can drill a couple more homers and steal some more bases.

Two guys in one year wearing #75.  Interesting.  

Walter Young, name from the past.

I was surprised Ken Griffey Jr didn't do it...actually never came all that close, really.  I thought he stole more bases than he did, especially in the early days.
