May 3rd @ Reds

[Remember The Alomar]

All Torkelson talk reminded me of Justin Smoak, which, in turn, reminded me of Jtrea. He now has a blog about roundabouts. Good for him.

He was serviceable last year.

You don't want a 105 OPS+ out of your 1B/DH but he's not killing you.

If he can scrape his way back to that he can hang around a few more years.

 

It's possible, but it looks like a big if.

Baseball starting.

I love Palmer, but I'm glad Ben is back.

IIRC, the Giants use orange and black because John McGraw liked those colors from his days with the Orioles.

But the Yankees were the ones that were originally in Baltimore.

I’m pretty sure the team split in two when McGraw left for the National League because he had a feud with the president of the American League. McGraw took the colors and a lot of the players to become the Giants in the National League and then what was left of the team ended up becoming the Highlanders and then the Yankees. At least that’s what the book I have on the history of the Orioles says.

Here we go!

[O's84]

Why?

[Brian88]

Stupid

[86this]

I swear it looked like the Reds had 7 infielders.  

[Billy F-Face3]

Game on! And Gunnar just got too greedy.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Not a good risk there by Gunnar to try and get a leadoff double when the ball was hit right to the RF.

[Winter]

Dont like that 

[justD]

Ugh.

Love his aggressive baserunning but that was pretty poor judgment.

Oh well. 

[elextrano8]

I like the piping on the Cincy hats

Not the best decision by Gunnar.  He didn't loop it slowly to right, he hammer-slammed it nearly 100 MPH to right as usual.  So not sure why he thought he had that extra time.
