Mister Puppy

Dan this might be my only opportunity to watch a .500 Orioles team this year!

Derek

7:39

I mean, in (some, small) fairness, didn't Jose Iglesias once lead the league in batting average?

Dan Szymborski

7:40

Not quite, though he did have a couple years around .300

Mr Rocktober

7:40

Maybe I need to upgrade my tech for often, but this year, MLB.TV is no longer supported on my old smart TV nor my old AppleTV nor my old Roku.

muffindan

7:40

eovaldi still throwing 99 after like 12 elbow surgeries is just insane to me

Brian

7:40

Shane Bieber is good.

Appa Yip Yip

7:40

It's for the best the Jays aren't playing at Camden Yards I wouldn't have been able to mock the Orioles by being all "more like oriLOLS" (v clever) i would have had to be nice to them.

Eric A Longenhagen

7:40

Brewers have gotten out of both innings with 4-6-3's

Dan Szymborski

7:41

The Jays should have played at Camden Yards and then first game, find the door is locked with a sign that says "Too bad, Cito should have played Mike Mussina in the 1993 All-Star Game."

Vladito is too young to run like me.

Aaron’s Aron

7:41

Joey Votto!!!!

Cliff B

7:41

Votto yard!

Mr Rocktober

7:41

Joey Votto's power has returned.

Eric A Longenhagen

7:41

Loud, bases loaded flyout for Rowdy Tellez, Vladdy scores on sac fly, 1-0 Jays

Topper Bottoms

7:42

Gonna have to disagree with A-Rod's opinion that Jason Heyward is "getting better with age"

Dan Szymborski

7:42

Yeah, A-Rod, when I think of a player getting better with age, the first guy I think of is the dude who peaked at age 20.

7:43

When A-Rod made brief appearances at the end of his career, I remember him actually being decent.

But he seems to be constantly getting worse.

Bret

7:43

I think Dan mentioned this yesterday, but i swear A-Rod seemed good at this announcing thing when he first started.

Dan Szymborski

7:43

Yeah, Bret said it same time as me.

Eric A Longenhagen

7:43

I agree, he was clearly engaged with even amateur baseball early on. Has become a cliche machine since.

Dan Szymborski

7:44

Even when Joe Morgan or Harold Reynolds were at their worst, they'd bring up some interesting point about positioning or hands at some point, things like that. A-Rod literally didn't bring *anything* yesterday

Eric A Longenhagen

7:45

Sac fly from Jon Villar in Philly, 1-0 Marlins

Dan Szymborski

7:45

I mean the stuff about how we should look to the first 20 pitches between Cole and Sanchez to see how the season is going to go? What the @%## is that nonsense? If you don't have anything to say, it's OK for there to be some silence.

Brian

7:45

I blame JLo

Rick

7:45

Once again the masses has soured on A-rod lol

Rudy

7:45

I miss Ross in the booth.

Guest

7:45

I love Scambi, but Chipper and Rick made the early game almost unlistenable.

Dan Szymborski

7:45

Boog does good work.

rational person

7:45

oh great, rick sutcliffe!

annoyed person

7:45

sweet, rick sutcliffe is announcing this game!

man who pleads to god

7:45

pls stop letting sutcliffe talk

Dan Szymborski

7:46

Found some sutcliffe comments from earlier! lol

I'm probably too old to be writing lol after sentences.

YardGoat

7:46

In theory, would catchers be better announcers than other position players. Thinking how QBs tend to be better announcers for the NFL (small sample size though)

Eric A Longenhagen

7:46

Let's just move away from it needing to be players in the booth.

Estevao

7:47

Juan Soto reminds me of what Oscar Taveras usually looked like after a few years on OOTP 15

Dan Szymborski

7:47

:-(

I'm not demanding we just have a bunch of statnerds in the booth. But bring something that a viewer isn't going to get. Players ought to have a lot of experience in that kind of things. Stay in that zone. Don't try to be stat guys and don't just make up nonsense to fill time

phan

7:47

I forgot the Marlins lineup isn't too bad

Connecting…
