Used to listen to them a lot in HS & college, probably haven't heard a song of theirs in years.

Got home from work about 10 minutes ago and started to catch up on the game thread to see what I missed, but I had to pause to ear that all the way through, thanks.

We had talked to current and past pitchers at Camden Yards, and they all talked about it being a ‘mind eff,’ and they worried about it while they were pitching,” Elias said. “They didn’t like to throw the ball over the plate and even if they did like to throw the ball over the plate, it meant more homers, extra pitches. Your pitcher comes out of the game earlier, your reliever comes into the game earlier. Pitchers’ arms get attritted. They get hurt. They run out of pitches. And for your team, the home team, to experience that more than the visiting team, to me it’s a disadvantage.”

The issue with using that logic to make LF a cavern is that you can now apply that rationale to our hitters by saying that our batters now experience warning track failure more than the visiting team. I guess he's saying that a short porch particularly affects pitchers because of their fragile psyches and arm fatigue though.

And as I type this, Adley swings out of his shoes to get one over the wall. An argument for how our guys know they have to blast it in that direction? It's all so slippery haha.

Does Frazier approve of the new HR celebration?

[Emory Eagle]

Wow, Adley.  That’s fun to watch.

OK the bong is funny, but I don't know if I want to be putting my mouth around the same thing 5 other guys have done, especially with Covid still being a possible threat for missing game time.

Another one that would have been a HR.

That's 6 runs the wall has cost us within 24 hours.

[Billy F-Face3]

And that's the minimum if I'm being conservative on the number.

I don't mind the young guy, so long as I never have to listen to Dave Johnson and Melanie Newmann ever again.  But I really really REALLY miss Jon Miller. (I also miss Garry Thorne and Buck Martinez. They enhanced the Orioles baseball experience.)

I'm just very pleased that we still have Jim Palmer. And Ben McDonald is growing on me in his own way. Kevin Brown does OK if he doesn't get distracted. What I hate about the current broadcast team is when they ignore the action on the field. By the way, I absolutely hate all these networks doing interviews while the game is going on. Like come on people, pay attention to the game! Do the interviews later or in between innings when they're not playing. We come for the game action, not the interviews. It's not a podcast. It's a baseball game. It's sport.

Melanie Newman is like my dog.She gets distracted by new shining things. The funnel,the funnel. Also a phony excited voice

What left handed free agent starting pitchers are free agents next year?
