Imagine if we had to listen to Melanie Newman paired with someone like Dave Johnson.

I'll listen to every word if I can have Palmer and McDonald the next night.

Unfortunately having time to watch/listen to all 9 innings two consecutive days is the most ridiculous part of this fantasy.

Me: I'm mad at Elias and won't watch this team for a while.

Also me: Damn Rutchman is a beast can't wait to see what he will do next!

I'm sure that 100% accurate. But now he (and many others) are miserable. The Orioles have to live with their decisions. If people check out on them, that's a ramification the Os have to live with.

And if you check out now because you are miserable, and the Orioles suck you back in later (next year?) because of whatever reasons...that's fine too.

Miserable to use your word choice, over the past 28 hours or whatever, and talking about it in the place they constantly talk O's baseball.

I think it's pretty early to suggest people dip out for their own benefit unless it's perhaps more about how these so called miserable people impact your enjoyment of talking O's baseball.

You mean us “Joe Fans” right? Is morons that can’t see the big picture?

Weber nailed it, but that’s the other part of it.

It doesn't impact me at all. People going to fan as they want. If anything, leads to good discussions which I enjoy.

I know right? Why do we deserve to get robbed of his greatness?

Nah, you're too knowledgeable and invested to be Joe Fan. There are a lot of people out there that are 'fans' that don't follow the day to day details. That isn't you.

Damn...tough question Melanie. Asking Jim which of his dead friends he'd most like to have a conversation with. Stopped him right in his tracks.

Let's see after this series if they get paired together again. I think not.

Whats her deal. Does she just try too hard.

First career TOOTBLAN for Vavra.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

I havent heard her for more than maybe 10 or 15 min all year. I tend to follow on mlb.com if Brown isnt calling the game. She just doesnt have a feel for the job it seems. At least not PbP

[mweb08]

It seems like you shouldn't need the baserunning oven mitt if you're going to slide feet first.

[Mackus]

Whats her deal. Does she just try too hard.

It's a wonderfully interesting question if she could find a way to ask it tactfully. This was brutal.

My mind went straight to Flanagan, and I only met him once. He wasn't a lifelong friend like for Palmer.

[mweb08]

But let's slide head first please if we're trying to steal bases.

I legit forget what this stands for

Thrown out on the base paths like a nincompoop

I wouldve got there. The N word was the one I was trying to figure out

[BSLChrisStoner]

Lyles thought Mullins should have had that.
