April 9: Orioles at Rays

[tntoriole]

Cheerleader announcer  ..” oh and they hit the ball hard a couple of times that second inning “. Yippee!
 

We are the Washington Generals of the AL East .. the two teams that  advance to playoffs from the AL East will be the ones who beat us 19 and 18 times compared to the 16-17 times that the third and fourth place teams will beat us.

3 pitches in 2 AB's for Odor now.

I for one appreciate that Odor is trying to keep his at bats as short as possible.

Hyde said around 85 pitches for Lyles today.

That may or may not get him through the 4th here.

When can the umpires association release CB Buckner.  I mean if we can eat Chris Davis’s contract and let him go I see no reason they can’t let C.B. go.

I don't see anyone trading for him.

I don't see the O's eating the contract.

I think we're stuck with him.

Fortunately Angelos doesn’t give me a way to watch him

That will be a treat Monday.   Brown said both Ben & Jim will be in the booth with him.

Did you see the projected standings on Fangraphs a few days ago?

Four way tie in the AL East.

My friend just text me and said the Orioles will have three broadcasters in the booth for the TV home opener  But can't send anyone on the road? So how is three people in a tv booth ,a safety precaution. The safety protocol for road games are such bs.

[Aristotelian]

"Conventional defense... So, there is a little bit of a shift." Hard to tell when you can't see the field.
