Baltimore Orioles 2013 Thread

[the burgundy and gold]

Solid win yesterday, according to Roch, Jair, who started today, topped out at 93 and set em down 1-2-3 so that is an excellent start for him. Chris Davis had an excellent game yesterday offensively and defensively. At this point I'd say his defense is gonna be one of the big things to watch in ST, Buck said he's looked good in practice and he made 2 great plays yesterday so he's off to a nice start.

We still need a DH upgrade badly IMO.

I have no problem with the trio of McClouth/Reimold/Wilson sharing the DH duties. If Reimold can stay healthy (huge if) I think our offense is going to be awesome.

Thought you O's fans might want to know.

Curtis Granderson broke his forearm after being hit by a pitch today. He will be out til May reports are saying.

I don't root for injuries, but I do enjoy Yankee misfortune.

The Yankees are in trouble. ARod out the season, Granderson out at least a month, Martin, Soriano and Swisher left town, and they're one year older for their declining guys...their lineup outside of Cano scares nobody.

I though I was going crazy watching Toronto And New York play on MLB Network while getting Orioles updates on my phone. Didn't realize it was a split squad game today.

The only thing that comes to mind is that he homered off the O's last year. I remember thinking that "guys like Cano and Granderson can get their swings, but can we not give up dingers to CHRIS DICKERSON?!?! AUGH!"

Dammit. I forgot the game was on MLB network last night. I had a shower to fix.

I went on a whirlwind trip of Florida this past weekend, as a few friends and I went to the Daytona 500. We were in Tampa on Friday night and were planning to drive over to Daytona to go to the race on Saturday, but did not get going early enough. So we drove down to Sarasota instead to go to the Orioles' Spring Training opener on Saturday against the Twins. I had never been to Spring Training before, and man, that was fun. Great stadium, awesome weather and a very good game. It is just weird having that much access and being that close to the players. But I definitely want to do it again. It's a neat experience.

Loving how Buck has the team so focused and playing with such a sense of urgency. BRob with two doubles yesterday. If only he could stay healthy. <fingers crossed>

How come we didn't put a catchy slogan on our thread like the Nats fans did?

Pick one of Jonesie's:

"We don't want any credit," he barks. "Just say we overachieved. I'd rather them just say we're really not that good. We just overachieved, so we can just keep moving on, because we don't care. Just keep thinking that. I don't think there's a person in this clubhouse who gives a damn about anybody who wants to predict what we're going to do." - See more at: http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/o....in0YUpoC.dpuf

You can congratulate the Ravens in it.
