Wow, Pat Sajek is here. Enjoying his retirement. Is he an Orioles fan? He's sitting next to Cal.

Yes, he has always been an Oriole fan.   Was he one of the minority owners in the Angelos group?   I'm not sure.

Of course I wouldn’t turn it down, but that doesn’t mean it’s not stupid.
Why not give them $10,000 to have an interview before or after the game instead of during the game while you’re supposed to be concentrating on the game, even if you’re in the dugout you’re supposed to be studying the pitches and the placement and all that happy Zen baseball stuff.

I'd be ok if they were miked and it's just them chatting with each other. But to have to think about questions is messed up. 

Among the long list of reasons these interviews depress me, is how unimaginative they are. Wow, we have the tech to mic up players in game. So let’s use it to ask the same stupid questions and get the same stupid answers. :bangwall:

Pat Sajak used to be spotted in the crowd regularly when the Orioles played at the Angels in Los Angeles where he filmed Wheel of Fortune.

You mean you didn't want to know who he plays video games with and who he would want to be stranded on a desert island with?

It’s as bad as watching the YES Network.......

You ain’t kidding. They referred to the Yankees as “AL East leading” when they were promoting next Sunday’s game earlier.

I don't recall seeing his name among the group. Mostly a bunch of Wall Street guys who are Rubenstein's partners, Grant, Cal, and Bloomberg.

Lived in Severna Park forever, been an Os fan equally as long

He moved into the new community they put up right around when I left in '90.  I may have had tar shingle fights with supplies used to make his roof.

    • The Braves currently hold the tie break leading the season series 6-5. Bottom line, regardless of what happens tomorrow, the Mets have to win both games of the Mon. Double header vs. the Braves to get in.  
    • Detroit is one of those teams that got hot at the right time. I think they have won 6 in a row and were 9-1 in their last 10. I checked yesterday I think, but getting hot at the right time is huge for the Tigers. I think Texas last season got hot at the right time and they were like a freaking buzz saw.    I picked Baltimore to be a wild card before the season started, but had them going farther in the playoffs. I hope these guys can get it done. 🕊️
    • With either team as the opponent, the key is going to be us.  At full strength, our lineup is just flat out better than either KC’s or DET’s. Not by a little. By a lot. Witt is unreal, and Perez, Greene, and Carpenter are all really good. But behind those guys, it’s a bunch of mostly light hitters that have had their hot streaks (with DET’s being mostly ongoing) that don’t really compare to the depth in our lineup. If our pitching mostly holds up, we’ll win as long as our hitters do what they can do. Both of those are giant question marks, obviously, and the season will hang on the answer our guys provide. But you really can’t ask for much more than an opportunity to go into a series saying we think we’re better on paper than them and we just need to perform — that certainly didn’t feel like the case last year, with the way the Rangers hit up and down the lineup all season.
    • It looks to me like KC is happy to rest and get ready for the Astros with the way they used Witt. The White Sox actually have something to play for...with a win they avoid the worst winning percentage of the 162-game era, although 41-121 is not a lot better than 40-120.  To bad it looks like Detroit can back in at this point with the Braves much more motivated than the Royals.
    • Let's just try to win 1 playoff game before we think about a 2nd round game.
    • How is the extra hitter just "a possibility" for the WC roster? If you can't get through 3 (at most) games with 12 pitchers, you're either doing something wrong or you desperately need to spend heavily on adding better pitchers in the offseason.
