I'm a little late to this game. Do we have any insight why in a big series, in Camden Yards, we are getting a Melanie and Dave Johnson booth?

Jim Palmer tested positive for Covid so everyone that was in the booth with him last night is out tonight (Devo, Hollander, LaCanfora, Dr Joyce Brothers, etc).

Is it just me or has Perez been pitching much better lately?

This is his 4th scoreless outing in a row.

Henderson gets a statue.   Let me be the first to say it.  I may not live to see it happen but Henderson is going to be a legend in Baltimore and be a peer of Ripken, Palmer and Murray.  

The kid is driven.  The kid is nice.  His brother loves the Orioles.  He said the OHHHH gives him the chills every time.  

He is going to get a statue.  And I know how nuts that sounds but I feel it.

Palmer has it. Was there announcement that everyone else has it too? Was just wondering what their policy will be.

I don't think it's a 2020-type thing where they're making close contacts stay home or anything. As far as I know, Palmer is confirmed sick and is staying home because of it to recover and not expose others.

There are quite a few people I know and have seen online who are sick with it right now for what it's worth.

This is one of those games where being down one run feels like being down 5.

We’re gonna need Mac to step in and win this one.

What was Perez doing with his hands? Animated waving/pointing two times after pitches.

Of course, you do. Jim Palmer tweeted he had covid and feels terrible, and you call him a liar and come up with a conspiracy. Expected nothing less.

You really think John Angelos would be above doing something like that, considering all that's been going on not just in the past 2 weeks (revealed in the past 2 days, but also in the past year? Should I make a list to remind you?

Colton Cowser is set to impress.

Looked it up for you: in 13 games since June 16th his ERA has dropped from 5.55 to 4.30. So yes.

I hope you're right. But that would require that the O's pony up and that he accepts it.

C'mon kid.

Do you think Melanie Newman knows what the general sentiment is on the Hangout about her PBP capabilities?

You must be kidding. We're talking about COVID.
