I still have a home run hang over.

Vs a left hander?

Bros, When Ray is on, he's tough.

Looks like we got "good" Ray tonight.

Yeah, he's really good. Hopefully they can get some hits off him. Kremer is going to have to be good because of Ray. 

[Beysbol]

Looks like there's not going to be any close strikes this evening,which is a nightmare.

Ray is a pitcher I wanted the Orioles to take a chance on.

Problem is that the O's weren't going to pay: 5 year / $115,000,000

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

That was a generous called third strike on Winker by the home plate ump.

I was talking more about when Ray signed with the Rays for 1/$8M before the 2021 season. But yeah even that was too much for the Orioles never mind $115M.

I should have figured you meant that, my bad.

I have no delusions the Orioles would spend $115M on a free agent pitcher at this time. Hoping that changes in the future if a pitcher like Grayson or someone else is special enough.

Man, I remember being in high school and thinking those Mariners jerseys were just SO cool.  The hat, too.  Of course the Mariners were a cool team with Griffey Jr, Randy Johnson, Jay Buhner, A-Rod, Edgar, etc...I rocked that Mariners hat in high school despite being a die-hard Orioles fan.  I just thought it was so cool and that team was so cool.  Cal was my #1 guy, Griffey was a close second but I wouldn't be caught dead in that ornithologically correct bird hat.  I always thought it was so stale and boring.

But jeez, those Mariners jerseys have aged terribly.  They've looked awful for years.
