Also gonna post the Fowler homer everyone forgot about because it happened IMMEDIATELY after Montero just hit a grand slam to break the tie late. People were still buzzing over Montero's homer when Fowler jacked one.

A Blantonian home run!

there were at least 3 Dex Moments in 2016 that made me think "holy poo poo, this might actually be it" -- the spring training surprise, this dong (really the montero dong but this was all just Part Of It) and the leadoff dong in game 7.

I went to see a lot of Orioles games when O'Day was in Baltimore, and we got in the habit of singing 'O'Day' to the tune of 'Ole Ole Ole'.

Edit: We also tried 'Jamie on the Walker' to 'Smoke on the Water' but not as good

Fare thee well Dex, that 2016 of yours was insane and I will never forget it. Sorry it took Joe so long to realize he needed to stop batting Heyward second and you spent like two months getting on base every other AB only to immediately get erased by a ground ball directly to 2B.

Also for the love of god give up the crypto thing you dolt.

I'm trying to remember if I kept any decent Orioles' giveaways, and all I can think of is a crappy Sammy Sosa bobblehead. The t-shirt giveaways were fine, and I think I have a Markakis shirt somewhere.

Can't believe they didn't give anything large bee-related for Larry Bigbie

This sucks. He was really good for a few years and then started giving up big homers a lot and then his arm fell off. The Yankees couldn't bring him back for 4mm a year? That is nothing lol

Not that this is the biggest issue for them in 2023 but they really haven't gotten any better in the bullpen and if King doesn't come back close to what he was in 2022 it's a pretty bad pen.

I would like to see evidence of this because I really don't believe this. Toronto has to pay the most for a specific player they want just like every team has to because players almost always sign with the team that offers the most actual money.

Given their track record of finding relief pitchers I am far less worried about that than whoever is going to play LF

Is MLB still doing ads on the back of the mounds in 2023? I realize that this is probably a weird hangup but I've always watched the pitcher's hands and their release point and a big loving ad right at their feet is really distracting and ruins the viewing experience for me.

the fact that somehow the MLB.tv package doesn't just cover all this is insanity. charge me double for a "no blackouts, every game" package! I'll pay it, I'm an idiot!

In 2017 (I think) shortly before the playoffs my friend and I were listening to an Effectively Wild podcast at work where one of the guys referred to Chad Green as the Yankees secret weapon for the playoffs. So ever since then we exclusively called him secret weapon Chad Green. Welcome to the Jays, secret weapon!
