And we've sent Packy packing.

Nevin has left the building.

I've really been impressed with Nevin's approach at the plate.

Nevin has more Dongs then Manchini

Uh since when did Bradish throw 98mph?

He’s been consistently around 94 the last two years, topping out at 97 fairly often. So 98 isn’t a shocker, but definitely a tick up.

Game Notes

• Believe it or not, this is only the Orioles' 2nd trip to St Louis ever, since the franchise moved to Baltimore from St Louis in 1954.   The only other trip, according to Roch on his blog this morning, was in 2003. 

My recollection is that the Orioles wore replica St. Louis Browns uniforms for the middle game of that 2003 series.

Sidney (I was born to be a Brown) Ponson pitched a tidy seven-hit complete game and the Orioles won, 8-1, their only win in that three-game series.

Anyone know if there are plans for the O's to wear Browns uniforms again during this series?

[ArtVanDelay]

Lucky that Edman chased there.

Do you think there's a chance that he could develop Schoop's power?

I tend to doubt it.  I think we forget how good Schoop was for a few years.  He was pretty underrated.

I really enjoy watching this kid pitch 

[emmett16]

Bradish is dealing.  Curve for strike 1 second time through order is nice to have.  He looks confident. 

[ArtVanDelay]

Wow Bradish is filthy

[emmett16]

Hopefully Orioles don’t go on a rally and throw off his concentration lol

I really miss the Schoop/Machado duo

I'm stunned by having a guy coming up out of the minors and just instantly establishing that he belongs here. 

If Bradish and Zimmerman can stay consistently decent, we're going to have 3/4 locked down for a while.  I don't want to get too excited prematurely, but...  man, the potential.
