What the heck? There's a dude sitting behind home plate shirtless?!

Bases loaded for AS.. let's go

Adley may be the smartest kid on the team.  What an eye at the plate.

He isn’t stupid. Figured they would not give him something. Now Tony hacks at a ball.  

[eddie83]

BS.

Is Nelson 112?   Nope, just 42.  Looks like he may finally be done .. all these years after 2014 of course ..when he led MLB with 40 HRs and us to a division title and when Os and virtually nobody on this board (well one person) wanted to give him a fourth year .  So the old man over the next five (not just four) years just put up a measly 21.6 WAR leading the majors in RBIs in 2017 with 117 lol 

 

Although the Orioles did get a Mariners draft pick in the 2015 draft -number 36 overall… any guesses without looking it up? 

 

[dtk9119]

Terrible call. Hate these umps 

[eddie83]

Pathetic.

There is some moronic man in the fans behind homeplate with no shirt on and man boobs.   Why cant the women do it?  That would be much more enjoyable.

I have a friend who is rather portly (I'm being kind) and he's volunteered to play classic rock riffs (think Led Zep and Deep Purple) on fuzz bass shirtless on the dugout roof of our local minor league team. I'd actually sign up to see that.

I don't have to guess.

Robo Umpires cant come soon enough.  Humans suck at balls and strikes.   What are we in the 1800's?  I mean we went to the Moon more than 50 years ago!

No more human strike zone!  We need Robo Umps!

I was watching the Chats do a live performance on youtube the other day.

It was disconcerting to see a punk bad with a lead guitarist with an ample beer belly.

Just, I expect punk guys to be thin...you know?

He sounded fine.

MLB to implement fifty new rules next season, but forgets to go with the one that would actually do the most good: use robo-umps for ball/strike calls. 

[eddie83]

Dude can’t command a damn thing and he gives him that pitch. Still ticks me off.

While I'm in favor of robo-umps it will dimish Adley's value on defense.

[Gurgi]

Stowers actually tracked that lazy flyball with out any excitement.  Good job 

[Emory Eagle]

The only problem with robo umps is they would slightly decrease Adley’s value by eliminating pitch framing.
