So what do you guys think, the calls for us to barely sniff 75 wins after a opening series at Boston that would've been 2-1 if not for a freak play and an injury to Bradish, might've been just a bit premature? 

The Orioles were one horrific error  away on the most routine of plays from starting the season 2-1.  The pitching is concerning, but it's not panic time (yet).

Reminds me of when Mark Reynolds got praised for making diving plays when he played 1B for the Orioles. Don't get me wrong I'm glad Reynolds made the plays, but I think he was diving so much because of his positioning and his reaction time seemed a tad slow.

 

 

I thought Reynolds was always pretty decent with the glove and making picks.  He was bad at making throws from third base though.

What would have constituted the biggest potential collision differential in O's history? Sam Horn and Jeff Fiorentino? Chris Davis and Joey Rickard?

Alan Wiggans and Jim Traber

Mark Reynolds at third base was an adventure to put it kindly.

I can't tell if that Stowers catch was a great catch, or a routine fly ball that looked like a great catch because of a terrible route 

Did you see that "great" Hunter Renfroe catch everyone was raving about over the weekend?

Hairston had a little muscle on him. Maybe early Brian Roberts? Belle would have pulverized him. 

I don't think they played together

He was just complacent.

I thought of Traber but I'd rather run into a fat guy like him than a pure muscle guy like Belle

Adam Duvall is 2 for 2 with a double and 2 walks against Pirates tonight.  It's good to see is not just the O's.

As far as your weird mishmash of a small Oriole running into a larger one and the ensuing collision, I'm going with Al Bumbry and Boog Powell.

[RVAOsFan]

Would of made some sense to pinch hit Urias for Frazier there, no?

[spleen1015]

Felix Bautista & JJ Hardy.

Too easy.
