If you've never done it, you have no idea how wonderful that throw was from Pie. He was running almost directly into his glove hand and had to straighten and throw the ball up the butt of the runner without it drifting into foul territory. That was just a phenomenal play. Outstanding...

But he has no instincts! And he's a terrible defensive player!

Running away from his throwing hand too. Unreal.

Oh thats pretty, but the stands are empty. More empty than when I was there Saturday night. Come on, fans.

I was actually surprised how many people dont even realize the Orioles have started the season yet. I was at Camden Yards for the games on Friday and Saturday with my girlfriend. After the games we did some bar hopping in Fed Hill and Fells Point and I was surprised by the number of people who saw my O's jersey and asked "Did the Orioles season start today?"

Its weird because the team is supposed to be better but there is such little buzz around the city. I guess thats what losing does.

Sounds like a real beauty. I can't believe people were giving up on this guy so quickly last year. Not only do I think he could be a full time player but a solid one at that.

Garza is really, really good. That 3-1 pitch to Pie was perfect. He just missed on the 3-2 pitch. Excellent AB from Pie. I don't know what the Cubs instructors were doing, but they surely missed the boat on this guy. He has a world of talent.

Gotta figure Lou had some to do with that too.

I'm surprised that such a good organization like Minnesota got rid of both Garza and Bartlett.

      I don't expect much from John Means tonight.

      By Orioles West · Posted

      Yeah - he is fun to watch when he healthy and happy. Despite the myriad of arm issues, he remains one of my favorite players on the team. I got to see him bat and pitch in a game here in Colorado, (May, 2019) and the intensity he showed in that game — a bit of throwback attitude — at the time on a bare bones roster. O’s lost, 8-6, but he left the game with a 5-3 lead at Coors Field (Armstrong with the blown save, Givens with the loss), but I loved the way he battled and the enthusiasm he had on that not so good team offered a bit of hope.

      Reds Series

      Want to win every game but today would be truly icing on the cake. It would be great to have Mullins and Santander to break out.

      Kremer is due for Regression

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Besides not walking many guys, I agree, Kremer has been getting pretty "lucky" so far this year. He's a bit of a gamer though and he's typically outperformed his expected stats.  Either way, I agree, he's needs to keep pitching well or could have some risk to being options for no other reason than to lose a pitcher.

      Reds Series

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Fernando Cruz is striking out 46% of batters so far this season. The Reds are off tomorrow, and we've kept Alexis Diaz on the sidelines by holding late innings leads. Cincinnati can probably look for the whole game from Lodolo, Cruz and Diaz as they try to avoid the sweep.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I do think we're going to see Suarez gradually get more high leverage situations. He hasn't pitched in a bit now so I imagine we see him this afternoon. Let's hope not before the 6th inning.

      Is the 2024 team better than 2023’s?

      By Jagwar · Posted

      I'm thinking another reliable shutdown reliever or two. Maybe one can be a closer to push Kimbrel to the setup role.

      It COULD be a track meet in facing Elly De La Cruz

      By RZNJ · Posted

      So, I generally agree but it’s certainly not 100%.  Two at bats from last night.  Means to De La Cruz in the 6th.  Nothing but changeups and curves. Cowser PH AB.  First pitch curve and then back to back changeups.   No fastball needed.  Nick Martinez could have told Cowser he was throwing a changeup and as long as he kept locating it Cowser wasn’t touching it. Unless Cowser is a dummy, he has to be looking for changeups at certain times.  Fastballs for strikes will be few and far between for now on.   Adjust or become a victim of Darwinism.
