O'hearn!! 3-0 O's

[Roy Firestone]

every time I look up O' Hearn gets an RBII..what a story...

[Chavez Ravine]

Great at bat by O’Hearn.

[Malike]

I'd be happy if O'Hearn could carve out a nice little Steve Pearce type career.

The Tito Landrum HR they were talking about. what a missile.

 

Chills...

I wonder what the statcast would have been on that blast. Pretty sure it would have made it over Walltimore

Watching O'Hearn bat is like watching an instructional film.

[Malike]

Man, I loved Tippy.

I wasn't there but I do remember watching it. Wasn't it Roenicke at 3B, Loewenstein at 2B, Sakata at C. Tippy said he kept throwing to Eddie because he was the only guy he recognized in the infield. 

Yeah and when Sakata came up in our half of the inning I told my friend who did not know baseball that much that  Sakata didnt have much power and couldnt hit a homerun.  He then proceeded to launch one into the seats for a game winner.

There goes the no hitter.

Three is not going to win this game. Let's see if the Orioles don't go into their routine of sleeping on a lead.

You'd think but statcast says it wouldn't have been a HR, I dunno.

Does it account for different air resistance for different altitudes? Genuinely don't know, but I was assuming it didn't.

It does take park factors into account, I just read. I wasn't sure either.

Nailed it.

[Gurgi]

Game sadly getting close again.  

[Tony-OH]

Gibson is one of those guys who can look absolutely dominant then just totally lose it for a bit.
