Kremer and Akin have both looked sharp so far. Akin actually reminds me a little of Wei yin chen. 92 -94 mph fastball and a good curveball. Definitely has good velocity for a left hander.

I think the rays already are. 6.5 game lead with about 20 left.

We have had issues when there are so many devices pulling on the Wi-Fi. Have you tryed turning off the Wi-Fi to anything not being used? That has seemed to help us.

That's awful. Shouldn't be that hard to do school work. Last spring during the shut down our wifi was a mess.Hopefully there back in school quickly and safely. I have a 5th and 1st grader and we enrolled them in a program where they both attended nursery school at. They help them log in to their zoom classes and provide assistance if they need it. My daughter (the 5th grader ) is fairly self sufficient but My son ( 1st grader) pretty much needs someone helping him throughout the day. My wife works from home but it really wasn't feasable for her to do her job and also be a teacher to our kids so we hesitantly signed them up for the program.

We're doing a rental. Going to be nice to disconnect for a few days.

We are staying in Luray the first weekend In October. Hoping for some real chill in the air in the higher elevations by then.

That was some of the heaviest rain I've had here in Smithsburg this summer with that thin line of storms. Only lasted about 15 minutes or so but was quite the tropical downpour.

Here's a good question- which players on the current O's roster will be on the next "good" Orioles team?

Not exactly sure when Elias expects them to be a playoff caliber team but with them trading away players with atleast 2 years of team control left I'm assuming it's not going to be anytime soon. Im guessing 2024 or 2025

O's are just playing losing baseball right now. Twice today they had a runner at second and no outs and both times didnt score. I guess no one believes is bunting the runner over to 3rd anymore. They don't even try to hit behind the runner to move them over.I thought Hyde was big on fundamentals.

The timing for his press conference is a bit odd considering schools starts in 3 days. He was definitely pissed at the 8 counties that did not present any plans for in school learning. I don't really understand what exactly he was looking for at this point. With school so close to starting with distance learning.

Mountcastle adding a little more punch in the line up compared to Davis. I think it's time for the O's to cut there losses. To me weither he is on the team or not he is not helping them win. Time to move on.

Been a rough week for the O's. Dreams of a playoff game fading away lol

Washington county hasn't released there school day schedule yet but My wife and I decided to enroll our kids at a place they both attended preschool at. Basically they will help our kids get onto there zoom classes each day and help them with there school work. My wife and I both feel guilty as hell but I do not have an option to work from home and even with my wife working from home there's no way she can do her job and help our 1st and 5th grader with there school work all day. My 5th grade daughter is fairly self sufficient but for my 1st grade son you pretty much have to sit beside him and help him the entire way through his school day.

Feels like the islanders have 7 men on defense.

Just shoot the d@#n puck. And crash the net

I agree They've played some pretty exciting baseball so far . Not talented enough to overcome mental errors though. Like running through the stop sign in the bottom of the 10th and getting tagged out in a run down.

O's are who we thought they are.

Caps back to trying to be too cute with the puck. Shoot the puck!!!!!!!

Caps finally playing playoff hockey in the 2nd and 3rd periods. Too bad it took to the 4th game

Im hopeful that the Angelos son's don't handcuff the GM the way Peter did. With Elias coming in last year I think we are seeing a difference in the way things are run. Putting alot of money and resources into international scouting. Using analytics like the other 29 mlb teams. I think we may already be seeing a difference in pitching from the analytics side. The Orioles can spend money on free agents but they have to have a nice blend of both home grown and free agent signing. With a medium market budget you've got to be good at doing both. I do think holding onto CD is stunting the growth of the current roster of young players. At this point wether he is on your team or you cut him he's not helping the team either way. You want to give as much playing time as possible to the young prospects to find out who will be on the next "good" Orioles team. We are already seeing what playing time is doing for Ruiz and Santander. Ryan Mountcastle should be getting the opportunity to DH/1b. He has hit well at every level. Would love to see what he could do at the MLB level.

Looks like im going to be wrong with my prediction for the O's. Glad to be wrong. Love the way they've played so far. They definitely don't seem intimidated by anyone. Even though they lost they really took it to Scherezer today.

Lol pinch hitting with Chris Davis in the 9th. Of course he struck out.

Lol. Ruiz with the bomb.

The more I see Ruiz at 3rd base the more I like. Solid glove and a decent bat. Don't know if the Os will keep winning but they have plenty of fight in them.
