Larry Sheets was my favorite Oriole when I was a teenager. He was also my favorite listed on here for many years. I met him at his batting cage facility in my early 30s when I played softball. Good nice guy!

Didnt he own a sports complex just outside of Westminster Maryland?

These lead off hitters getting on are going to catch up with us.  Lucky hit

Probably right, but he got two quick outs.

i mentioned it earlier.

He's also issued two IBB on hitters with 1-2 counts.

Yep, and he's been caught on camera napping in the dugout a time or two, as well.

I still remember the home run he hit over the roof at the old Commiskey park. I was thinking he'd be hitting 30 HR for the O's for years. 

I thought Larry Sheets and Mike Young were going to be huge for us.   It didnt turn out that way.  I still dont know how Mike Young just collapsed.   

[Il BuonO]

Can’t walk the number nine guy.

[Brian88]

3 of those balls easily could’ve been strikes

[SteveA]

I hate walking the #9 hitter.

Especially if it's some bum I never heard of.

[O's84]

Feels like Voth is walking on eggshells.

Mike Young had crazy power... when he connected. I have another recollection of an opposite field HR he hit at Memorial Stadium over the bleachers. Just crushed.

Well, who doesn’t catch a little nap now and again at their place of business?

The first one was a strike but I understand the way Adley had to catch, no umpire is going to call that.  The second one the umpire had no excuse as it was caught normally.

[Roll Tide]

I just don’t feel comfortable with Odor at 3B

[Gurgi]

Odor struggled with getting the ball out of his glove but glad he did and we escaped another inning.

Blue ain't giving the low and outside strike tonight.
