Signature Moments

The Trey Mancini ITP HR will be remembered by this generation of Orioles fans for a LONG time, right up there with all the details you can recall about Delmon Young's double.

Older Orioles fan have their special moments as well.  Let's hear your top ones from prior to 2014.

I'll start with a few:

1. Frank Robinson's run around the bases (1st to 3rd, then home on the SF) to win game 6 of the 1971 WS

2. PH doubles by Lowenstein and Crowley key a 6-run 8th to win G4 of the 1979 WS vs Pirates

3. Jim Kern throws away Lee May's bunt to an empty 3rd base on 6/10/79 to key 3-run rally

4. Decinces 2-run HR on 6/22/79 to beat the Tigers

5. Tito Landrum's HR on Britt Burns' 150th pitch to win 1983 ALCS vs White Sox

6. Devo's 2-run HR caps a 4-run rally to beat the Angels 11-9 on 7/15/89

7. Randy Milligan's 3-run HR gets the Orioles tied from down 6-0 in an eventual 9-8 win with the O's clinging to first in 1989

8. Roberto Alomar's single ties up G4 of the 1996 ALDS vs the Indians with 2 out in 9th

9. Roberto Alomar's HR wins that same game in the 12th

Let's hear yours!

All of those are great. I'm just going to list one that I was there for (and just feet from), as I only make it up to Baltimore once a year. 

It was Manny Machado's go-head line drive HR in the 7th inning vs. Boston on Saturday September 29th 2012. It landed just past my outstretched glove a few rows from the wall. The win put them in a tie with the Yankees heading into the final 4 games and when the dust cleared, into the Wild Card game and the Divisional Series, their first playoffs since '97.

It was also Brooks Robinson's statue unveiling day. All the HOF / statue honorees were on hand to congratulate him.

1971 and 1979 have been erased from my memory banks, for obvious reasons.

    • After a really dumb day at work, this was an absolutely delightful read. Seeing a diamond expert and a can of corn detonate a yoked PBA pro was absolutely wonderful. I love this website. 
    • If you pitch Bradish on 5 days rest you'd pitch Rodriguez on 3 days rest?
    • I think if you look at it draft by draft most years Elias did not have a chance to take a pitcher early. 2019 was Adley/Witt, 2020 everyone wanted Austin Martin SS over Kjerstad, 2021 it was Cowser or a few high school SS, and 2022 it was 5 position players at the top of the draft. I think Asa Lacy or Max Meyer were the only pitchers we could have possibly taken up until last year. 
    • Damn I wish I was that guy
    • Crochet had a monstrous game tonight. 7 IP 2 H 1 ER 2 BB 13 Ks I would love to have him even if it meant moving him to the bullpen for the final stretch but someone is gonna drastically overpay for him with top of rotation potential and 2x additional seasons of club control.    assuming it starts with Mayo, Kjerstad, Povich etc 
    • I would like to see the O's have more success drafting and developing their own pitchers under Elias.  But I must concede that so far Elias has an excellent track record of getting good young controllable pitching from other teams farm systems  (Bradish, Povich, McDermott, Cano) or the waiver wire (Suarez, Webb, Perez).   The development of these pitchers suggests that we have excellent coaching in the high minors and in the majors.  There's more than one way to skin a cat. At this point I don't see a need to trade farm system capital for a top-line starting pitcher like Luzardo.  If the season ended today I'd feel really good about going into a playoff series with Burnes, Rodriguez and Bradish as our big three starters.   I also see no point in getting Crochet midseason as he's not going to be able to carry a starters' load into October.  It's more likely that we trade for bullpen help now, and then address starting pitching in the offseason if Burnes moves on.
