Is burnes burning (glowing red) for anyone else?  image.png.f6e77e52d548f9aa8339d88e81b45056.png

edit:  eh... nevermind.  I guess the ad overlay doesn't like the black ad vs black uniform.  I've never seen this sort of thing so pronounced.

From the crack Nats announcers, I have learned the "Nats fans have cooler sunglasses than Orioles fans" and "Orioles fans are bad at Moo-ing" 

Speaking of alternate audio, I did switch to there O's radio feed and for the first time ever for me on MLB-TV (streaming from my Mac onto my TV), the audio matches the video perfectly.

Kevin Brown is punishing us for ever criticizing him in the last game thread by forcing us to listen to Melanie do play by play. It's like when you punish your significant other by ignoring them. I get it.

 

Come back Kevin!

No Kevin complaints in the game thread today!  😄

Seven years in and the book is out eh?

Well he has given up 11 SBs, the same number of SBs as all of last year.  The most he has been given up ina year in his career is 18.  So, yeah, maybe it’s a new book.

If you think Kevin not being in the stadium is going to stop the Kevin commentary in the game thread, then I've got some bad news for you!

Is it bleed from the green screen on the wall? I would say Bradish would perhaps glow from plasma rich injections, but this is a new one on me.

    • I think a more relaxed Norby tags one of those Gausman meatballs for at least a base hit. He fouled some off, and chased some out of the zone. Looking forward to seeing more of him. 
    • Frobby I won’t say that’s a strawman, but that is a blatantly incorrect interpretation of what I have said. I have repeatedly said that sometimes you do the right thing and lose anyway, and vice versa. I have also said that there’s nothing wrong with being wrong.  But you’ve watched the games too, you know there have been games that were lost because of objectively bad decisions. I don’t care about Gunnar throwing away that ball in the Pittsburgh series, I don’t care about holiday making a mistake. Things happen. I care about Hyde Making obvious mistakes.  Are you saying that not one single game has been lost because of such? I don’t lose any sleep over it, a game finished is a game past. But I want to win the Division. Last year, we won the division, then lost the division series. I would much rather have had that scenario than to have made the playoffs as a wildcard team, won a wildcard series and then lost in the division series. No, I’m not kicking the cat about it, and I’m not Firestoning about it either, but I’m not being unreasonable.
    • On one hand I want to say he just doesn’t have anywhere to play, on the other hand…he’s playing because of injuries/ineffectiveness of other players so while he seems buried in the depth chart and we’re barely in June and that depth is being utilized.    I’ve been writing him off as a sure thing to be traded and never putting on an Orioles uniform. I’m reassessing that a little considering he hits right handed and I’m happy that Holliday wasn’t called back up for reasons of positional need rather than he’s actually ready. 
    • If Burnes, GRod, and Bradish stay healthy, we are as set as we can be regardless of division winner or wild card. Will more than likely have to go through the Yankees either way. Just keep winning series and play best ball in October. That's what I wish for. Winning division then one and out means very little except a flag to fly. So to answer OP question - zippo.
    • Skubal has never pitched more than 150 innings and he'll be 28 next year. I dunno man. The results are legit for sure, but not sure he's worth Holliday. 
    • Also, I think for most of us traditional/longtime baseball fans, it is still in grained into our psychology (to some degree) that winning the division matters. Because for years (most of the history of the game) that is the only way that you could qualify for the postseason. However, when you look at teams who do well in the postseason (like last year's 2 WS teams), they weren't division winners. They just got hot at the right time. And truly that's all it takes in a short series format where things like depth are not nearly as important as it is most about top end talent and being able to perform against the other teams best (starters, relievers, batters). In other sports like hockey and basketball being a division winner is larger irrelevant because of the postseason format. Baseball with the additional Wild Cards has become the same way IMO.
    • IMO it really doesn't matter much. We are almost assuredly going to be in the playoffs. What matters most is how we are playing at the close of the season (going into the playoffs). We won the division and won 101 games last season as we outpaced TB. And in October (neither teams' great regular seasons matter). And teams like HOU and TEX were playing in the ALCS who weren't nearly as good all year.
