I think 2-3 of the players could be regulars for the Orioles. Yet they are highest scoring team in the league.

Look they have talent. If they can pick up the slack from losing Burnes they will be in playoff race all year. 
 

Baseball is a game of runs like basketball but in a different sense.

When they crash they will crash hard I bet. They look like a team that should K a lot.  

Never fear, when they go to NYY and TBR they will come down to earth.

Two different strike zones last two games.  Maybe Ben saying Brewers were cheating meant paying the umps off.

3 inches outside Ump calls it a strike, unbelievable!!1

Another strike out...this team has far too many, every game...

It hard to hit if you don’t know what is a strike and what isn’t.  Awful umpiring last two games. 

[Roy Firestone]

we need the good Cano today...maybe 2  good innings...dont know if he can do it

[O's84]

Of course.

[Roy Firestone]

This pen is not good...we are simply not very good right now...Cano isn't the same as last year.

Unbelievable

Oooookay. 

There were the obvious moments of blatant racism, like the time he was stopped by police in Cincinnati with Leo Durocher’s son. They wanted to know why the two were palling around together, and apparently, “Excuse me, I’m Willie Mays” wasn’t enough. A call from Durocher was what settled the matter. Mays was an American icon, but he was also never allowed to forget what his place in the country really was.

For an example of subtle racism — the kind that still gets play today, even — check out this Sports Illustrated article from 1955 that’s about Mays’ lack of hustle. The headline is more than just a little alarmist …

IT WAS ONLY AN INCIDENT, BUT IT SHOULD BE A WARNING TO WILLIE MAYS: HE CAN MAKE OR BREAK HIMSELF AS A BIG STAR

and the article revolves around a ball that got past Mays in the Polo Grounds centerfield and skipped 475 feet away from the plate, which allowed Duke Snider to circle the bases.

The thesis was this: Mays did something that a good, respectable white player would never do.

Ask Enos Slaughter, who at 39 still races around the bases even on home runs poled into the seats, who runs to first base head down and all-out even on one-bounce taps back to the pitcher. Ask Billy Klaus, who didn’t believe it when logic said he would never ever be a major leaguer and who this year is the key player on a team that doesn’t believe it either. Ask Nelson Fox or Phil Rizzuto or Eddie Stanky. Baseball is a game that depends for its appeal on the dramatic, the melodramatic, the promise of the impossible. You don’t give up; you can’t concede.

Completely predictable. Sweep streak over. Absolutely punked the last 3 days.

[Aristotelian]

Dang it, why is he throwing a slider to a lefty?

[allquixotic]

I'm so done with these Brewers. They're playing like this is the World Series. We can't get anything on them.

[oriolediehard]

Cano gives it up!!!
