At this rate maybe we can catch up to our pythag?

You did some work there to recall that one.  I was focusing on just the past few years.  

I only recall this because that game was brought up when the 30-3 game happened. I wasn't even in preschool yet in 1978.

Maybe I’m misremembering, but I feel like people were saying he was an idiot for signing Frazier. 

I think maybe they were saying that signing Frazier was idiotic?

Which isn't the same thing at all.

Elias has a ridiculous resume and agree with him or not he's obviously wicked smart.  Just like all his peers in the other front offices.

I don't think anyone has ever said he wasn't really smart so I'm not sure what your comment is about.

Kind of just impressed by his rebuild.  I think if almost any GM job came open and he wanted it he could get it.  Even for some of the big boy teams.  

I think all of baseball is impressed.   

After 35 years of mediocrity I am just impressed that his guys have drafted so well.   I had gotten to the point I expected most Oriole prospects to disappoint.   But this guy has been entirely different.  

Really kind of amazing to be honest.

Don’t know why I dislike Bitchette so much. But I do.

Or score 24 runs to match the 24-10 mashing received against the crappy expansion era Blue Jays in 1978.  I think this was the most runs given up by an Orioles team until the 30-3 game.

I remember that game well.

Listened to it on the radio during a nasty thunderstorm, making the radio all staticky and crackly.   And for some reason as a dorky 13 year old I chose that particular game to draw lines on a piece of paper with a ruler and keep score.   That was one ugly scorecard.   It got lost somewhere over the decades, I would love to find it at the bottom of a box somewhere and see it again.

Larry Harlow and Elrod Hendricks both pitched in that game.

Who do they think you are?  OsFanSinceThe70s?

2 totally opposite as-can-be situations .....Orioles Payroll ( AND RESULTS) and NY Mets Payroll ( AND RESULTS).....An Example  ?  Max Scherzer tonight  (40+Million per year ) Only pitched 3 inning vs Yankees ....Gave up 7 hits .....6 earned runs .His ERA should just about 5.00 right about now .

Santander isn’t a great outfielder but rarely does he make me upset.

You make me chuckle to myself more than I’d care to admit.

Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle.

Let the good times roll.

We don't need Cano or Mountain tonight.
