I work in Florida with my good buddy who is from Baltimore. I bet $25 on the royals tomorrow. He said I was crazy but I reminded him of 2014 when we snuck in after the wildcard game and kicked there ass in the second round with a sweep. If I am not mistaken they won almost 100 games that year. [Reply]

Perhaps it was hubris, I was at the 2 games at OPACY, and … the crowd never got into it, and we just couldn’t do shit against your pitching.
Same exact story so far. Small ball won the game. Walk, Stolen base, Super Star gets a clutch hit while our "super stars'' once again sucked. [Reply]
Apparently La Canfora is losing his mind about how Rutschman was a mistake draft pick because he wasn't just the second-best catcher in the game yesterday, he's the second-best catcher on his TEAM.

This pleases me.
He is an absolute moron. That being said, Rutch is... really really starting to look like Matt Wieters which . . . ain't good.
Sadly, I expect you to finish us off today. Another low scoring game which we suck at. i'm going 3-1 Royals. :-) [Reply]

Eh, I'd say the pitching (for both Clubs) was the story yesterday. It was truly superb for the most part. [Reply]

It really was superb. Burnes made ONE mistake, his only walk, and Witt capitalized. Was one of the best games I've been at (even though we lost). [Reply]

I don't know who was catching for the O's, but that was a horrible throw on Garcia's stolen base. A better throw, he's out and we don't score there. [Reply]
