Orioles revived
Who would have thought O's fans would be griping about a bad ball/strike call in the ninth inning of this game, but that called third strike to Nolan Reimold cost the Orioles a chance to complete a terrific comeback. The ball was low and should have loaded the bases with one out, but what are you going to do?
No matter what happens, Robert Andino has had an unbelievable game. He's now 4 for 4 with a big RBI in the eighth and has played great defense. He has now raised his average from .189 to .268 in one game and is leading off the 10th.

I met Juan Samuel and thought he was a pretty nice guy, but we can't give a guy a job that doesn't do what is needed. He's cost the O's a few crucial runs this season, including today, sending Jones home when he had no chance, ending our eighth inning rally. We should think about picking up someone from the minors, maybe Gary Allenson from Norfolk - bring him up with the youngsters. Gary has quite a bit of coaching experience, in the minor leagues and as a third-base coach for Boston in the 90s. He also seems to know what he's doing with all these big prospects, maybe he can keep things going in the big leagues. He'd at least be an improvement over Samuel at third. A couple people have mentioned that DT may just be with us through the transition because he focuses on development, so eventually, Gary could take his place. I don't know how it'd work politically but maybe the two could end up being switched, with Dave at Norfolk. Nothing too big against Dave, but he's never played pro ball and might not have what it takes once the O's get rolling.

Of course, you can always change your name (though not that easily) , but typically the name you\’re born with, is the name your stuck with.
