Wednesday, June 1: Orioles vs Mariners

[SteveA]

Solid smash off the RF wall for a double by Cedric.   2 hits.   Maybe he's coming out of his slump.

Seems like Romo has been in MLB for a long time.

Smart man, Trey.  Aim for the bullpen.

I'm wondering if this is Scott Servais' last year with Seattle? They haven't done anything in years. 

They won 90 games last year, have a fairly young nucleus, and added good major league talent, and brought up one of the top prospects in baseball.

So their record has to be an extreme disappointment.

Of course its still early,  Easy to forget.   3 years ago today, the Nationals were 25-33, a very similar record to Seattle right now.  And they went on to win the World Series.

Thanks but where were you last night! lol

I brought us no luck, my friend. I sat through that disaster. Maybe I need to start turning on the games halfway through... 

[justD]

That works too — hit it into the bullpen instead!

Oh, ok. I feel bad for Seattle fans because it seems like they have a good team, but can't ever win anything, or they start off really good and wind up collapsing.

Yep, he's 39.  Came up in 2008.   Trying to hang on to be the next Fernando Rodney

I was shocked that he was still pitching. He was on the 2014 Royals team, i think.

No matter, he will be DFA’d tomorrow.

Trey is heating up and now I do think he gets traded, but the O's will still have to eat some of his salary to get a better return in any potential trade. I understand it's probably the right move for the future, but it will suck to see him leave.

That ball was absolutely smoked.

I read a Twitter message and the guy was saying that he wished Seattle could play Baltimore every game. I have seen posts like this before and can easily tell that they have no idea that the Orioles are an improved team than in years past. They keep thinking that this is the 2018 Orioles.

The Mariners are one game better in the standings coming into tonight's game their fans should lay off the trash talk.

Trey's OPS is now .802.

Yeah at least O's fans don't have to endure not winning with a good team.  We just know we have such a bad team winning is not an option.
