Second time in my life I've seen an Oriole go all the way around the bases here at Nats Park.

First time, Adam Jones hit a fly to CF, right near the fence, and Nyjer Morgan tried to make a great catch at the fence and it glanced off his glove and Nyjer couldn't figure out where it was for several seconds, and Adam went all the way around the bases for an ITP HR.

Guess this wasn't ruled a HR, but it was still fun.

For Adam's ITPHR I was in the front row in CF in front of the rooftop bar so I was basically looking down at the top of Nyjer Morgan's head as he failed to come up with the ball.

Bring home a win.

I wonder his side would do it?  I think he has Boras for agent.   

Would be nice to lock him up.  

Pretty hard to turn down life changing money at 21-years old.

I’m sure many people know this but Gunnar was Alabama Basketball player of the year in some classification. He wasn’t the best player in the whole state but still. 
 

I know many pros were good at other sports but this kid is special.

By the way anyone know why Adam Jones and the Orioles are not on friendly terms now?   I heard someone say it was because Adam refused to be traded in 2018.   Seems odd management would hold a grudge.

Darn, I hope that doesn't put Terin back on the bench for another week.

Can't believe they didn't challenge that

This seems like a good time to make my thoughts on these Nationals hats. They are in a word, AWful. They look like a 1980's minor league hat.

They look like something you'd buy at a truck stop

Why? He was out by a mile. 

Vavra can't catch a break.

I assume this is true. I saw they had 31k last night. Didn’t look like it on TV.

Gunnar is the best pure baseball plus athlete this franchise has had in many years. I’m having a real difficult time coming up with anyone else to be honest. He is the total package. May have been better athletes but not a baseball combo. Brady was a combo. 

Jeffery Hammonds was best athlete I ever saw as an Orioles.  Unfortunately he hurt his knee and never was the same.  He was an outstanding football player in high school and many said if he concentrated on that could have been NFL running back.

Is it an Expos retro thing? I could get behind that.

I thought it was close. Throw beat him but tag wasn’t on him right away. Never did see slo mo

This kid is pretty good.
