Why is this piñata still pitching?

Judge destroyed that, I’ve never seen a ball hit there….

That was a fucking TANK

Only homer I've seen comparable there is Sano years back

But his was more left center out of stadium. Not sure I've seen one to dead center where judge hit it like you said.

That was wild.

Rafaela pulls us within 1

Devers got to be end us right now

Got lucky there, now the Clay Holmes roller coaster….

This team need a new closer so bad

 

[chillerdab]

O’s too.

Kimbrel blew his second in a row.

Awesome win after a rough west coast trip

Pretty sure I saw Bo Jackson hit one over there once. Glenallen Hill, too. But that’s about it that I can ever recall.

He’ll work through it I think. But it is frustrating at how many guys he lets on base and then can’t hold.

I caught a BP homer on opening day from Sano this year, caught it in literally the same section when he was with the Twins on another opening day. Sad to see that he regressed so badly. It was a really promising career.

O’s coaching staff probably sees something correctable in both guys.

The reliever seems to have a great arm.

Odd trade.

Yeah I just don’t get it. Dominguez has performed very well after April this year, but he also wasnt doing it in many high leverage situations with the arms in Philly.

Pache, I kinda understand, because getting rid of Hays loses you a strong defensive OF, which is needed late in games. That also tells me a Mullins trade could still be on the table, because you need to have a strong defensive LF (who is basically a CF) playing there.

Orioles get Elfin from the Rays for 3 minor leaguers:

Now, this trade I like, but I’d still like to see another starter. I‘m not sure if Eflin passes the test for #3 playoff starter.

He won’t work through it, though. This is who Kimbrel is. He was giving Sox fans heart attacks in 2018! He’s been a high-wire act for a long time now. The O’s absolutely should look to upgrade that role at the deadline.

Bo hit his to where the flagpole was and ricocheted towards the fans in CF

Definitely still a lot of buzz over that Judge home run last night. I saw some dialogue over the Bo Jackson HR. This shows some perspective on where it hit and it almost left the stadium entirely:


I saw no mention of Glenallen Hill, but the general consensus is that only a HR from Jim Rice in 1975(game wasn’t on TV!) can give Judge a run for the money. This is an account of that HR…

I remember the Rice homer very well.....
