Wednesday, August 9: Orioles try to bounce back after tough loss to Astros

Ooh, just fair.

[Hallas]

Their LF misplayed that horribly but I'll take that.

[dystopia]

Palmer just tweeted that he has COVID.

This explains why everyone is out 

Ok, sorry for the speculation.  Get well Jim.  That is the one thing that would explain this.

If Palmer has COVID then, yeah, I imagine they sent home everyone that's been sitting right next to him the last few days. So it'd make complete sense.

However, this certainly makes it even more noticeable that Brown *isn't* there, given that hey, they've got a pretty good broadcaster that's been sitting at home lately and hasn't been around Jim...

There is the answer.

No way he went around.

[Dibbs31]

Down LF line. That was a check

[Ripken]

Umpires continue to suck this series.

Does Palmer read this forum?

Of anyone that works for the Orioles/MASN, I feel like Jim Palmer is the mostly likely to have literally no idea of what the Orioles Hangout is.

[Moose Milligan]

"covid" is French for "John Angelos suspended me, too"

Do we believe it or is Jim playing both sides.  Staying away in solitary with Kevin and not saying he is staying away to the public to keep the lid on the story?  Giving Angelos a chance to save face and step back from the ledge?

[Roy Firestone]

get at least this run in...

This is like a totally normal reason to change out a broadcast, that under normal circumstances with a normal organization, we'd shrug and be like, "get well soon!"

 

But because our owner is a complete d-bag we end up coming with conspiracy theories over this stuff.  It's beyond stupid.

Launch angle of a million.
