Davis is turning back into an automatic out, and DJ Stewart isn't far behind, though he has drawn 5 walks, no hits in 14 ABs and 8 Ks. nearly a 50% strike out rate. 

Add Mullins in to that mix as well.  At least Hays got a couple of hits last night.  Hopefully that gets him going.  Lost a lot of punch without Ruiz and Iglesias.

Bad flashback to last season.  Glad that one’s over.

The Os I’m used to seeing showed up tonight so far. No hitting, walks and errors. Let’s get it back boys.

Times announced:

Tuesday - 7:35pm Os home team

Wednesday - game 1 at 5:05pm - Os home team (7 inning game)

Wednesday - game2 30 mins after game 1 concludes - Marlins home team (7 inning game)

Thursday - 7:35pm Marlins home team

More things you never thought you'd see.  2020 is a really weird year.

I thought it was the Marlins tues-thurs with one of those days being a doubleheader. 

Correct.  Off today and 4 games in three days with two of the games the Marlins will be the home team.  Also the double-headers are seven inning games.  Strange year for sure.

Sweep!  First in over a year.  Unbelievable. 

Who are these guys?  Gonna enjoy it while I can.

Bleier traded to Marlins for PTBN.  Never quite understood how this works in baseball.  Interesting move. 

Much better ninth tonight. Os win.

And Sulser again for the ninth?  I hope not.

Alberto again!  6-3 Os.

I liked that Hyde gave the umpire grief on that last call. Dude blows an obvious strike to Judge and then ends the game on one that's 4" under the zone? 

Agreed. I noticed that as well. Just need to remind myself we still need high draft picks, so this is good.  😁

I'm officially not a fan of Sulser.  That 2-1 ball call was complete bull by the umpire though.

Yeah total bs call.  Totally changed the AB. He had to throw one down the middle after that should’ve been strike. Sulser earned the L though. Walked the first and was behind every batter.

I think the O's base coaches need to start reminding players how many outs there are.     Maybe like hold up one arm for one out, two arms for two outs.  Cross arms for no outs.

I was thinking this as well. I know it’s little league, but when I was coaching I’d always make sure to remind the runners how many outs there are. Obviously they need the reminder. 2 outta 3 in Boston?  I’ll take it!  Why not?  🤪

Nice win after yesterday. I think Cobb figures the best way out of Baltimore is to get traded.    

I have mlb.tv so watching and enjoying even though it’s preseason. It’s been too long.

Hope that Wilkerson’s hand/wrist is ok after he hurt it in the second. 

And here we go with preseason. Chris D strikes out looking in the first. 😒

I’m also gonna throw this out there... the owner prior to Snyder, one who is generally universally loved/appreciated by the fanbase... well, I think it’s pretty clear JKC wouldn’t have been able to get too far with his “style” by today’s standards. This isn’t excuse-making; more just making sure we don’t travel too far down the road of hypocrisy. 

I understand what you’re saying but this is like the question of whether a sports figure from the 30s could make in today’s NFL, etc.  The question is unanswerable. The question is whether JKC in today’s environment would still have treated women the same. There’s no way to know for sure. 

What this team needs, is an enema!

Dan is a good man, he has always been about winning, and I know he wouldnt stand for this and will get to the bottom of this.

Did you read the article?  See the part about Dan making the guy do cartwheels after a meeting?  And then that guy turns around and bullies his subordinates?  It comes from the top.

Worst possible outcome. Bad but not bad enough to excise the real cancer at the heart of the organization. Probably the end of my “extreme” fandom of the team formerly known as the Redskins. Sad day all around.

How bad are we that Dan paid of the refs and we still sucked ass?

 

I guess the days there were bribes were the smattering of games where we'd see the Kerrigan chokeout called.

There are bribes and then there are BRIBES.  Dan couldn't play with the big boys so he kept getting the Bargain Basement Bribe special.

Trent Williams thread last year.

So if the story doesn't drop tomorrow, we have a good shot at the record.   

Is this a record for the longest thread with no real news but the most hope expressed by the community?  This has to be some sort of record.

To get a higher draft pick...Dan listened to the fans and paid the refs to make sure we wouldn't win too much lol...

So the league makes us forfeit the Chase Young pick and gives him to the Giants for "competitive balance".
