The biggest surprise is how bad the Orioles are this year, especially offensively. Their brain trust is going with the Twins strategy of the mid 2000's: do nothing to surround their good, young talent with free agents or through trades.

Unfortunately for me I have the Orioles in a season long bet to win the World Series.

I picked 7th out of 8 and I was debating between Orioles, DBacks and the Rangers. 🤷‍♂️

What's the over/under on # of games before Lewis goes back on the IL? He grabbed at his hamstring multiple times last night just trying to hit. I'll say 10 games.

The Twins are winning despite Lewis still O-fer, but they should have kept him with the Saints longer. Looks hapless.

Remember, he was hapless for most all of last year, too.

In the moment, even as a Twins fan, I wouldn't have rated it #1, with only 1 run 10 innings. Heck at the time I would have said Puckett's Catch of the Plexiglass and Walk-Off HR in the B11th the night before was a better game.

Even now Red Sox/Mets G6 '86 WS with Reds/Red Sox G6 '75 WS, all 3 a case can be made for at the Best. MLB Network put it right in between those 2.

In hindsight watching replays, one gets reminded of the great theater of it all with the several jams that Morris got out of unscathed. Letting a pitcher go 10 just doesn't happen anymore.

Also as time goes by, you realize that the pitcher that matched Morris' performance until he was not allowed anymore, was also a cinch Hall of Famer. John Smoltz. Additionally, the Braves went on to have a dominant decade, though just 1 World Series Trophy.

Without that game, Morris does not make it to Cooperstown. Without that weekend, Puckett likely would have had to wait much longer, perhaps waiting for a Veteran's Committee election.

Lewis looked really good until he got hurt last season. Rather unfortunate it happened on Opening Day, though not surprising.

He’s only had 559 career MLB ABs @age 26 and entering his third full season making the club out of camp.

I’m not shocked he’s starting slow. He needs to stay healthy for the rest of the way and the numbers will come.

Correra was an AS last year and has been a historically slow starter and there’s been gripes online to trade him - he’s 7-19 in his last five games🤷‍♂️. Maybe time D ones heal all wounds/slumps.

AL Central is the best division in baseball so far, thanks to the ChiSox being slightly better than the Rockies.

I'm not surprised either, which is why I would have kept him with the Saints for a while longer on the rehab assignment. He wasn't ripping up AAA pitching, sub-.200.
