Loved hearing the interview with the ILA Longshoreman.  His accent made me feel like home!

Wearing my E-lite Giants Shirt for today's game remembering the Negro Leagues.  Love the detail on this shirt!

O's in the big picture and Skenes, of course, in the smaller frame. I'll be watching both.

[Spakman]

Imagine if McKenna was in centerfield, he would’ve botched that.

[Billy F-Face3]

I'm excited fpr some Saturday afternoon Orioles baseball with 2 of our best MASN broadcasters and John Means on the mound!

I would’ve enjoyed a 1 o’clock start more but I’ll take it.

Odd route for Cowser in CF on that put out.

[Aristotelian]

Means looks like he has the changeup today. 

[Billy F-Face3]

This game is going to be a good sample of what affect the LF wall might have on the game by having a left handed fly ball pitcher on the mound.

John Means can prove right here how much a LHP like him can be a benefit inside Oriole Park, to the Orioles.

[Natty]

How long before Cowser has a disaster out in center?

Why does the Pirates announcer keep saying, "It's May 11th!"

I can only hear the O's broadcast. He just walked Bellinger and Morel missed a CF HR by about 5 feet.

Anybody also watching Paul Skenes's debut?

[FlaO'sFan]

If Skenes avoids arm troubles he is going to be amazing. Throwing 101-102 pretty easily imo w/ nasty breaking stuff.

Yes. Looks pretty impressive.
