Not a fan of the guy who sang the National Anthem.   I think he is some talk radio guy and not really a singer.  Dont know why they had him sing the Anthem.....but he at least was better than Rosie ODonnell

[Gurgi]

I kind of want Stowers to get off to a fast start and hit a bomb tonight.   That would be fun. 

[PHRESH]

Today is the 19th

[Il BuonO]

Heckuva start

[dtk9119]

Sigh... turn on the TV to hear Dave Johnson and see Pham blast a double to left. Good times.

[nevadaO]

Tonight I have:

Orioles ML + under 9 runs

Mountcastle to hit a HR

Adley to hit a HR

Devers, Bogaerts, Mullins to get a hit + Mullins 2+ tb's, + Mullins to score a run + Lyles over 3½ k's

[Il BuonO]

AR squares up to block a ball better than most.

[Il BuonO]

Nice pitch

[Il BuonO]

Lot of armside run down and in.

[Il BuonO]

Wow, Lyles settled in nicely.

[justD]

On and on and on KB and DJ go, rambling and making a lot of noise, so when we're watching Adley try this sign, that sign, another sign, 5, 6 signs with Lyles shaking him off, and AR gets up quickly to try to iron this out, KB suddenly realizes something's going on - "That's an early visit to the mound!" and DJ goes on about everything they might be saying and all I can think is, geesh, they weren't able to agree on what pitch to throw, there really was no other option. 

But yeah. 

I miss Ben. 

[PHRESH]

Mullins's eyes when Verdugo threw over 2nd

[PHRESH]

Wow, nice pitch to K Adley. Can't watch that one 

[justD]

Santander working out at 1B during practice? Hmm.
