Today is a new day a new game, a whole new set of decisions to debate and plays to enjoy… Or not.

“Once more into the breach, dear friends!”

So Kjerstad not starting again because of a lefty starter. Are we going to do with him what we did with Stowers last year?

LHB have a .401 OPS against him. I don't think it's bad to have him sitting.

[Roy Firestone]

We really need to win this game.

We don't.

I'd like to, I hope they do, but it's April and the O's are in first place.

Adley drops to a knee a lot more than I remember when he swings...

[Yossarian]

First two batters looked way off balance against Sears.

Oakland has some decent arms on that staff.

Power swing, I just wish he would connect.

[Roy Firestone]

Please no sleepwalk offense today....I realise Sears is good...but the O's have good hitters too...its been a chronic problem at home especially...poor offense against mostly mediocre pitchers..

They do. The people who were saying Sears isn't good are about find out the hard way. He shuts down LHB and his off-speed pitches are really good.

[Roy Firestone]

Irvin nice start...so far.

[Malike]

Irvin has a better ERA than GRod. I didn't have that on my bingo card.

[Roy Firestone]

Like to see the birds work the count more ..if they can. I'd like to see Sears have a high pitch count if possible..
