My mom is in the ER waiting all day for an MRI (and now the results)... I got my O's fandom from her and dad, since I was a kid.

She is in a room now, watching MASN and texting me on almost every play.

She's not in any immediate danger -- but the purpose of the MRI is to figure out why she has partial blindness in one eye. The possible reasons are frightening. The game is a distraction, but it would be a much happier distraction if they'd WIN.

Hope everything works out for her...

I feel like the pitch clock has gotten slower as the season has gone on.  Maybe they are taking more time in between resetting it?

Conspiracy!   

I just watched a George Foreman fight on youtube.   George got his man hurt in the second round a little over a minute in.  He should of had two minutes to defeat his man.  The bell rang at 2 minutes.  Howard Cosell was all over it saying it was only two minutes.   After the next round Cosell came back and said the Time Keeper said it was three minutes and Cosell's time was wrong.  Next round Cosell came back and said his crew in the truck rewatched the round and timed it at two minutes exactly.

Cosell said "a lot of things happen in boxing" and left it alone.

Man that's rough.   I hope everything works out.

    • As of today, we have 3 lefties in the OF. He will have plenty of at bats here.  I wouldn't start him everyday persay but 350-450 at bats will be fine.
    • For me, he’d be the 4th outfielder so he’d likely have to do both. He could spell all three of Mullins/Cowser/Kjerstad at any given time. I would argue positionally a RH OF might be out biggest need in fact, so if not O’Neil, someone else of that ilk. 
    • I would consider adding Tommy Pham in our McKenna/Slater role......he's a better bat and it pretty much guarantees that we'll be in the playoffs again.  He always gets there. Yes, I'm serious.
    • Alonso would be the worst possible signing for us. All he does is hit for power, and even that might be waning, even before you stick him in Oriole Park with that LF wall. That is the hardest of passes.    Martinez is very meh. That dude is going to fall off a cliff at some point soon, I’d rather it not be while the Os are paying him.    Could get on board with O’Neill for sure, if the price is reasonable. Major upgrade over the Slater/Hays combo from 2024, if he could stay healthy. 
    • So, you would be okay putting him in left field, or a you thinking of him platooning in right with Kjerstad?
    • A lot of good stuff here: https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/10/07/mlb-orioles-rubenstein I particularly like the following quote: “I’ve written some big checks for Carlyle over the years, so we’ve put alot of money into deals and it’s not like I’m going to have a shock at the size of the dollars that might be involved,” he said. “The trick is getting the opportunity to do that.”
    • Lot of great crowds at these games so far in fact (throwing stuff onto the field notwithstanding). Yankees crowd I must begrudgingly admit was pretty raucous you could hear drum beats, maybe the occasional horn, in addition to their usual annoying chanting and sound effects. Phillies always have great crowds. SD and LA turning it up a notch. Detroit and Mets and KC will almost certainly add to that list shortly. Makes it that much more fun to watch.
