As a starting pitcher in my era, you got paid for innings pitched, wins, your ERA, and complete games didn’t hurt at the negotiating table..that is why I was so impressed by Shane Baz’s complete game loss last vs the Rangers..pitched great, efficiently, fielding not so good, and wore the starters badge of honor, a complete game loss.. saved the pen, gave the O’s a chance, and himself , to win in the ninth. Wasn’t looking to the pen for help, just his offense.
Pete Alonso postgame on MASN:
"The fans have been awesome today. I know it's been emotional for this city and the organization, but we're gonna keep going and we're gonna do the best we can to win games ...
Keep supporting us, we love you guys, thank you very much."
Was trying to think of my favorite Adley memory through the years.
I keep coming back to him violently hungover holding back puke on the bench the day after clinching the AL East.
So yeah. That’ll do.
Baltimore, thank you. You will forever hold a special place in my heart, and my families heart. It isn’t just the place, but it’s the people too that helped create something special.
To the @orioles, thank you for the opportunity to put this uniform on, to be a part of some historical moments, and making this little kids dream come true.
To the fans, thank you for your support and showing up with indescribable passion.
To my teammates, staff, and coaches, you fellas made it a blast to come to the field every day. The friendships, and brotherly bonds I created with some of you is irreplaceable. I couldn’t be more grateful.
Thank you, Baltimore❤️
