WE HAVEN'T WON 50 GAMES OR MADE IT TO A CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP SINCE 1979
OUR BEST PLAYER SINCE THE 70S TORE HIS ACHILLES IN THE SHOWER
WE SUFFERED THE LARGEST COMEBACK IN HISTORY
WE HAD GUNS BROUGHT INTO OUR LOCKER ROOM
WE HAD KYLE KUZMA
WE DESERVE ALL OF THIS SUCCESS NOW
Marc Spears to AJ Dybantsa about DC:
“Huge market, love basketball… it’s like a dormant volcano ready to erupt… it’s just they’ve been terrible, I don’t think you realize what you could do there”

Jim Palmer when asked by Kevin Brown on the MASN broadcast about the Craig Albernaz-Samuel Basallo situation:
“He’s the manager. He said it’s about accountability, he’s the one that’s responsible for wins and losses.
“All I know, and I said this on Monday night, if you don’t play Adley Rutschman, you don’t play Basallo, and you’re trying to win games, I’m happy if I’m one of the Mariners pitchers. I’m elated. I’m joyful. I would send ‘em flowers saying, ‘Stay hurt.’
“If [Basallo] is able to play late in the ballgame, I’m surprised he’s not in there, that’s all. I don’t think this is the time when you’ve lost four in a row to teach a lesson. I don’t care how young you are. But that’s just my opinion.”
Gunnar Henderson leads Team USA with a 1.358 OPS during the WBC, yet Mark DeRosa is sending him back to the bench for tonight’s championship game.
Venezuela is starting a LHP, so DeRosa is going with Alex Bregman, a RHH, at 3B and Brice Turang, a LHH, at 2B.
Just strange stuff.
BREAKING: Catcher Samuel Basallo and the Baltimore Orioles are finalizing an eight-year, $67 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. Basallo, who just turned 21, is one of the best prospects in baseball, and less than a week after being called up, he has a long-term deal.
@gtothanow@NorfolkTides We’re not competing this year what difference does 10 more days make if it gives us the chance at a comp pick I feel like this idea is such common sense
