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.

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.

The 1971 Orioles present two things you'll never see in major league baseball again: 1) a team with four 20-game winners; 2) a team with the stones to wear solid orange uniforms.

Rangers are good, spent $800 million on free agents the last 2 years. Best offense in the AL vs the best team in the AL, the O’s. Let Bradish just be himself and good things will happen. Win the 1 run games, 30-14, hit in the clutch, 287, and don’t change anything.

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,.

As everybody has noted, the O’s need a replacement for Kyle Gibson. Scribes keep reminding us of that. A starter to go with GRod, and Bradish. Why are people forgetting Dean Kremer, 13-5. 172 innings, 5-1 over the last 3 months. So my Hanukkah wish, how about some love….
