In the melody to The Thong Song I say...

"Fun, F-fun, Fun Funn..."

Few things in life are more satisfying than beating the Blow Jays.

I can’t remember the last Oriole to consistently hit the ball as hard as Gunnar has the past week or so.  Sure for a couple of games, but not this long. 

Chris Davis in 2013.

I thought that was some kind of a new change-up pitch.

Move over Corbin Carroll... Henderson is Gunnin' for ya. #RookieOfTheYear

If Gunnar win the ROY, don't we get an extra draft pick?

SNY Network (NY Mets tv Network ) Play-by-play guys (doing the Mets-Yankees game) have been saying "WOW" a few times tonight talking about only one specific subject >>>>> The 2023 Baltimore Orioles !!!!!

[LA2]

Kremer at 87 pitches. Is he coming out?

I should have bet money when Gunnar was getting 2500 to 1 odds for AL ROY.

According to Spotrac (I'm not familiar with the website; don't know how authoritative it is), the O's are ranked 26th out of 30 teams in terms of # of days rostered players have spent on the IL.

https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/injured-list/current-team/

We have spent $2.3M on IL players this year, while the Yanks have spent $17M. We've got 4 players currently on the IL, while NYY have 12.

Sure, the Yanks can "afford it" more, but $2.3M is chump change for any MLB club.

I'm not saying this to prove you wrong or anything; I'm just trying to understand (out of previous ignorance until now) whether injury has been a drag on the O's relative to other teams so far this year... My conclusion is "probably not."

Younger players are hurt less.

I hope Kremer goes 7 innings.

Mercifully, Hyde looked at the scoreboard and realized, Kremer could cough up a salami and we'd still be in control of the game.
