This ESPN broadcast is so out of touch. They just posted a graphic of the Orioles' current Mt. Rushmore with Santander and Mountcastle on it. No focus on the upcoming prospects, who are really the cause for excitement.

I was more concerned with Means not being there.

Of course he got injured before ESPN started paying attention to the Orioles.

You can’t put guys on your current Mt Rushmore that isn’t on the team. That would be kinda disrespectful.

Bats are silent… we have not been doing well lately in the low scoring one run games

Sure. But I just wouldn't create a Mt. Rushmore graphic for this team at all lol. Do an all-time one and remind people of the glory days instead.

I don’t care about this being played in Williamsport, though it’s an overall nice publicity shtick. 
 

I will say that the thing that’s bringing me the most joy about this is the fact that 8 or 9 months ago, the producers at ESPN figured they’d need two teams for this game and decided on the Sox and Orioles. And there’s no doubt in my mind that they figured the Sox would be in a playoff race and that the Orioles would just show up to get their brains beat in on a national stage. 
 

**** ESPN. 

Minor comment but I think for travel reasons they are limited to teams in the north/mid atlantic, and I guess Cleveland.

 

Why the Yankees haven't hosted yet is beyond me.

I agree. Right now, we really don’t have a Mt Rushmore. Lol

I wonder how hard it is to keep from swearing or cursing when the mic is on? I can't take out the trash without taking some deity's name in vain after stubbing my toe. I know when the mics are not on, it's easy to read lips.

Kremer is pissed about something. Screaming into his glove.

Didn’t want to come out. I love that.

Hyde not messing around. Kremer done after 80 pitches. This is kind of a must win game and as usual the offense is not helping

Yankees never have an advantage with anything. I feel bad for them.

Off day tomorrow.  Doesn’t want him to face middle of order again. That off day makes it easier.

Awfully early for Tate. I guess he's getting the 7th, too.

I was born and grew up in Williamsport many moons ago. Billtown is kinda equidistant from Pittsburgh, New York  and Philadelphia. As a kid, you generally followed all of the teams from one of those three cities. In the early to mid 1970's, you could hold your head up as a Pirates/Steelers fan or a Yankees/Mets fan. You were essentially considered a masochist if you rooted for the Eagles/Phillies.

Can we get some freaking insurance?
