I voted for him today and will tomorrow before the cutoff. Can't believe Heim looks like he's gonna beat him out

The ASG voting is a total cluster

Same here. I voted for him the last 2 nights. Another Orioles fan said he had 4 emails so he was voting 4 times a day for Adley lol.

It's been ridiculous since fans were allowed to vote.  Plus, since interleague play, it's meaningless.

Gunnar showing off some range.  Hate to give up on Mateo, but he’s got to have his playing time reduced if he’s not going to hit.

[Emory Eagle]

That was a fat 2-0 fastball.  Got away with that one.

I wish they would just do voting at the park like the old days. Way too easy for non fans and bots to skew the numbers.

Gibson finally showed up.  Unfortunately quite late.  But better late than never.

5 lousy innings .. a disaster of a start .. 6 runs , 5 innings.

I don’t trust Baumann.

They took it away from the fans for awhile in the old days too .. same reason.. home fan ballot stuffing

I totally agree. My first game at Candem Yards, they passed out ballots to all the fans. And it was fun to see who was in the ballot to vote for and talk about it with fans in the stands.

These misses by Baumann aren't close.

Including here. Not that I find these thing’s uncomfortable, I’ve found a lot of the comments here tonight lol-worthy. But I’d rather talk about the game instead of HIV and the right to marry. I can listen to my parents whine about that if I want. 

I'd prefer to talk about the game too..but some of the comments on here tonight remind me of why Pride nights, and talking about this stuff is necessary, and in social spaces 

So if you come into the game thread, and instead of talking about the game. you start talking about how much having to acknowledge Gay people in a social space one game a year makes you "hate em". Then that derails the game thread, but I don't think it should be ignored or treated as acceptable. 

Doing things like this that are highly visible, help to show kids growing up that who they are is ok. LGTBQ youth are 4x as likely to attempt suicide vs straight teenagers (and the teenage suicide rate as a whole is to high). For one game a year, talking about stuff like this to help remove social stigma, and maybe save a few lives...just put the game on mute if it bugs you that much

I wouldn’t call it a disaster. 
 

if he got pulled in the 2nd inning and the bullpen got stretched even more than it is, I’d consider it a disaster.  He somehow got through 5.

ERA up to 4.66 baby!

Bauman and Gibson should switch roles
