Friday, April 26: Orioles return home to face Oakland

[Morgan423]

Gameday had two of those 4 pitches catching box, but barely.  hardly egregious ump misses.

[Gurgi]

Wonder if Burnes actually got hurt in his last start?  Remember that misstep and him yelling for everyone to leave him alone?  Probably hurt something but is trying to man up and get through so he can cash out big at the end of the year.  Dollar dollar bills y'all

Call me crazy all you want but Burnes doesn’t impress me at all. If he’s looking for a 250 million dollar contract he might want to rethink it

He typically settles down after the 1st, but yeah, his 1st inning issues are really weird.

Is it possible for Burnes to not give up a homer in the 1st inning?

Maybe they should lie to him and tell him it’s the 2nd.

Well I did say it, after he hit the homer.

Its a gimmick to get fans to buy different jerseys and hats.  Its a cynical cash grab like the stupid gambling thing.  

Oh, of course. They have themed uniforms so they can sell them. I remember the olden days, when guys had one uniform and the only money they made off them was doing Tide commercials.

Yea, he can just man up for the cash.  Should be easy to fool everyone for six months, for the cash.

They could use a left handed "opener" and bring Burnes in in the second or third inning.

Tune this trashcan up let’s go 

[ArtVanDelay]

The white pants are a major improvement over the all black.

Just saw a brief replay of Gunnar’s incredible throw…did Manny have a better arm?

[baltfan]

While we are at it can  we tell Gunnar his first at/bat is his second.

I had like three hours of sleep.  Had to take my dog to Virginia for a vet to artificially breed him.  Its a undignified procedure. My wife is coming home from work late and thinks she has pink eye and is stopping on the way at urgent care.  And I still have to walk the dog before the game is over.  I am cranky as all hell.
