Adam Jones continues to be wonderful http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-giancarlo-stanton-jersey , Tim Beckham probably shouldn’t be on the team next year, and more in today’s Bird Droppings!"Happy Monday, Camden Chatters! I trust we are all returned from Thanksgiving break, refreshed and ready to give our respective work places our full efforts until it’s time to break against for Christmas. If we’re lucky, the Orioles will start doing good things between Thanksgiving and Christmas so that we can continue to be thankful for the new management that has been brought on board. era so any action at all will be quite the change from the usual frustrations. Nothing happened for the Orioles over the weekend, which is to be expected as it was Thanksgiving. But probable former Oriole (sob) Adam Jones was in town for his annual tailgate and from the looks of things it was another good time for a good cause. My head knows that Adam Jones probably should not be an Oriole next year. But every time I hear or see anything about him I forget about that logic and get super sad at the idea that he’s probably gone. He’s just the best human.

But his salary this year was just over $3 million, and it'll only go up from there. I don't see how he is a fit for these rebuilding Orioles.2019 MLB Team Preview: Baltimore Orioles - Fake TeamsA look at the Baltimore Orioles with a fantasy baseball slant. I assume that this series names a superstar for every team it is previewing, but it's still totally bizarre to see Jonathan Villar as the pick for the Orioles.In a sense, John and Louis Angelos also were introduced to Orioles fans this week - Baltimore Sun Mark posted this yesterday as well but I think it’s worth the read if you missed it. It does feel like we’re getting completely new ownership Roger Maris Jersey , doesn’t it? Is today your birthday? Happy birthday! You have two Orioles birthday buddies. The first is John Parrish, who turns 41 today. Parrish pitched for the Orioles for parts of six seasons between 2001-2007. He’s most memorable to me for being traded to Seattle while the Mariners were in town, so he just had to walk over to the visitor’s clubhouse and then to the other bullpen. It was weird. Also born on this day in history is Harold “Stats are Ridiculous” Reynolds. Reynolds is most well known for playing for the Mariners and, more recently, for talking a lot of nonsense on MLB Network. He turns 58 today. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Nationals just can’t sustain any momentum in their attempt to get back into the National League playoff chase.Saturday night’s loss to the Marlins was a microcosm of their recent struggles.Isaac Galloway hit a two-run single in the 10th inning, JT Riddle homered and drove in four runs and Miami beat Washington 7-5.Following two singles and a fielder’s-choice grounder, the Nationals intentionally walked Riddle to load the bases with two outs in the 10th. Galloway delivered with a hit to center off Koda Glover (0-2). The Marlins ended a streak of 12 consecutive road losses and six in a row overall.Both teams scored in the ninth. Riddle’s drive into the right-field stands off Nationals reliever Justin Miller put Miami up 5-4. Washington’s Adam Eaton tied it with a homer off Drew Steckenrider leading off the bottom of the inning.The Nationals trailed 1-0 after Derek Dietrich’s second-inning homer and were down 4-2 in the sixth. They came back each time before the Marlins finally finished them off.Trea Turner homered and drove in three runs for the Nationals, who wasted a chance to pick up a game on the first-place Atlanta Braves in the NL East.Washington won six of seven to move four games above .500 on Aug. 7, but has since lost eight of 12.“If you give those guys more chances and don’t capitalize on your chances, then you’re not going to put yourself in a good spot to win,” Turner said. “That’s kind of been the problem lately.”With two runners on in the sixth, the Marlins benefited from second baseman Daniel Murphy’s fielding error that loaded the bases with one out. Two batters later, Riddle lined a two-run http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-giancarlo-stanton-jersey , two-out single over a leaping Murphy.“It felt good, honestly. It’s been a while,” said Marlins manager Don Mattingly, who was ejected from Friday’s 8-2 loss.Washington rebounded in the seventh with two runs. Video review determined that Tayron Guerrero hit Matt Wieters with a pitch, loading the bases. Guerrero’s next offering was a wild pitch, scoring Murphy. Turner’s bloop single to center drove in the tying run, but Juan Soto hit into a double play to end the threat.Riddle had two hits in Friday’s loss. His RBI double in the fifth scored Miami’s second run, and Riddle put the Marlins up 4-2 in the sixth with a two-run single.The shortstop, who entered the series with a .211 batting average and five homers, isn’t the usual candidate for an intentional walk.“I can’t remember,” he said of his last free pass. “I might have had one last year.”Nationals manager Dave Martinez, dealing with a shorthanded bullpen beset by injuries and the decisions to unload Brandon Kintzler and Shawn Kelley, called for the intentional pass with Riddle up in the 10th. Glover could not keep the game tied.“It’s not easy Brett Gardner Jersey ,” Martinez said of handling his current bullpen, “but I’m confident in those guys.”Steckenrider (4-2) blew the save but finished the ninth to pick up the win. Brett Graves recorded the final three outs for his first career save.Miami starter Wei-Yin Chen allowed two runs — both on Turner’s homer in the third — and five hits in 5 2/3 innings.The Nationals recalled Jefry Rodriguez from Triple-A Syracuse for Saturday’s start while placing Jeremy Hellickson on the disabled list with a cervical nerve impingement.
