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

Not really.  The Expos' caps were divided into three sections.  The front third of the cap was white front, but the left rear side was red while the right rear side was blue.

The visor was also blue.

Reed is in.

Whole Lotta Love on the PA? Why?

Trying to appeal to a younger demographic.

Who is this Reed dude?

I can’t remember any young hitter that has come up with the Orioles that looked as good as Gunnar since maybe Cal.  Machado definitely wasn’t this level of hitter. 

Cal had a 278 OPS in 23 games in 1981. But he sort of turned it around in 1982

Gunnar is already our best player.   Its pretty obvious.

I don't think Gunnar is obviously a better player than Adley. He looks like a better hitter, but not necessarily a better player.

[Gurgi]

It looks like he is trying to throw a boomerang.  He looks odd.

No, they actually wore Expos uniforms this year, which was cool.

[eddie83]

Lead off on again.

And then the pose afterwards. Classic. 

[eddie83]

Clear strike missed.

Corbin was making some good pitches. Sat on the black for the most part after that second inning.

He did, I will give him that. But his stuff is also unimpressive overall.

Eddie spent 77 as a DH.  If Gunnar plays like this next year at third or SS it will be awesome.

Reed's delivery looks so stupid.  I can't argue with the results here but man he looks like he's trying to perform a magic trick.
