MLB should be embarrassed not choosing Craig Kimbrel as an All Star.2nd in saves,2024, 4th all time, 440, 1 run last 21 appearances. MLB forgot their motto. “I live for it “and bowed to their NYC bias. Embarrassing.

Giving all the credit to #4 who never allowed me a moment to relax on the mound!.
I’ve always known Jim Palmer never gave up a grand slam. Today I learned he also never gave up back-to-back homers. This so astounded me I had to go fact check it before tweeting this because it sounded like bullshit. It’s not.

My long time teammate Richie Dauer passes. Was part of the Oriole way, where you didn’t have to be a star to help the O’s win. Richie had an infectious personality that kept us loose, yet focused. Another reason I was so blessed to be an Oriole for life. RIP.

The O’s are playing disheartening baseball. So they make a change. Tony Mansolino is a really good baseball man. But so was Brandon Hyde. I will not forget the joy of how the O’s played during the 101, 91 wins the last two years. This year is about change, injuries, different.

Different sport, but I can relate to what Mark Andrews is going through . The Ravens don’t get to play Buffalo if he doesn’t contribute in a huge way all season. And then the fumble and dropped pass in the end zone. The human element of sports and life, stuff happens and you move.

If history repeats itself, Mike Elias’s former team, the Astros, never took the next step forward until they acquired Justin Verlander in 2017, and Garrett Cole in 2018. The acquisition formula , trading young prospects. And the O’s have them galore,.
