Good God Jim Palmer has slowed down. This rain delay game is from only 7 years ago. He looks and sounds about 17 years older today. 

I noticed that on a replay of a John Means start the other night.  Just a few years ago.

Something told me Hays was gonna swing at the first pitch and get out. 

Was it this guy?

Okay, that was good. That made me laugh out loud.

It's fascinating to me that they can talk to anyone sitting anywhere all over the stadium. I wonder what goes into the technical side of things to make the headset work in such remote corners of the stadium.

Yeah, would have been nice to drive Alcantra up to 30 pitches that inning, but Hays gets the benefit of the doubt in my book right now.

There's something to be said for the old pre-replay days.   Yeah, they got some wrong and one team got robbed.   But guess what, they still get some wrong, just not as many.

And when you hit a walkoff HR... the game was over.   You didn't have to wait out a replay to see if you really won and you could have a genuine immediate celebration.

I'm pretty sure karma used Jeffey Maier to set things right

I call people 10,000 miles away frequently. I think you're over thinking this.

Right… I can’t be too mad at him with how well he’s played for us. 

[Billy F-Face3]

Nice! 1, 2, 3 inning again for Kremer and the Orioles fielders!

I'm a fan of replay just so we never have to experience a Maier situation ever again. That was devastating.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Nice start to the inning Ced. Let’s get some runs here.

Got a lot of friends in the middle east?

[Mooreisbetter27]

There we go Ced!!!

[Billy F-Face3]

That was close. Cedric almost got picked off. And then he takes off next pitch for 1st to 3rd! Lol

Cedric doing Cedric things!
