Our offense is due for a 10 spot. Leggo. We’ll grind, but our bats come out or play.

Not opening the gates until 4pm for a 5:05 game with a big ceremony at 4:40 is IDIOTIC!

[O's84]

5 wins in a row guys, let's do this!

It would have cost many hundreds, maybe even a few thousand, to open 30-60 minutes earlier. [Sigh]

Never seen an Oriole more comfortable hitting with 2 strikes than ADLEY.

Oh please Davis used to look positively somnolent with two strikes.

Vavra has a magic wand up there now. The league will catch up with him and then we'll see but right now really getting it done.
