2 years is too long for me.

During a rebuild, a team has to at some point start locking up players to build around. A solid core. Mullins definitely fills the bill. He makes the defense up the middle tight,. His bat speaks for itself. He's young, he's a spark plug for this team...he brings excitement and he brings fans to the stands. I know they need more bodies, more prospects and definitely pitching as evidenced by the 6 run 9th meltdown that ruined a great Orioles effort. Solid pitching and defense seem to be the best way to go. But not at the cost of Mullins. I draw the line there. I will stop following this team if they keep trotting out guys who are trying to figure out how to play in the majors. It's getting old.

Eshelman pitched a good game. Guerrero went hitless. https://www.mlb.com/orioles/video/cedric-mullins-homers-10-on-a-fly-ball-to-right-center-field?t=all-star-ballot

7-1. Win! We got there around 6:15-6:30 and got the Mullins T-shirts (decent quality too) and of course Mullins hit a 1st inning lead off solo homer and a 3 run homer late in the game. The Yard looked great. Food was good. Fans were great. Family atmosphere. First time back since Cal's Iron Man record setting night...long time ago. The jersey that I want is $357.00 !!!!!!! Somebody help me! Really....I can't believe that price. Nice start to Fathers Day Weekend.

Todays question. My son told me the first 15,000 fans who show up Friday night will get a free Mullins Orioles T-shirt. What time should we show up? "3 am is not an acceptable response."

I'm going to the game Friday night with my son. First time there in 20 years,

Fire at Camden Yards!!!! It's really hard to single out anybody. Mullins is simply incredible.

7-4 O's in the 8th and Valdez is not looking too good. Crazy wild pick off throw to 1st and luckily they caught the runner in a run down. O's are now 3 outs away from ending their streak.

O's up 7-2 in the 7th. It was getting scary there with Tate loading the bases but Scott saved the day. It's never over. There's never enough runs because of the pitching. Mullins is having an incredible game. Triple, stolen base and one incredible diving catch at the wall. Really fun game tonight.

Why???! Why did they let Lopez come out and pitch the 6th? He never gets through the 5th. He gets killed in yhe 5th. Today he finishes the 5th with the O's up 1-0. Fabulous! Let him sit and bask in the glory of finally getting through a 5th inning. Let him get some confidence. But...No....Twins pound him for 3 runs in the 6th. Everybody saw it coming. Now his brain is telling him "You stink! You can't do it. Your team hates you. They will not score when you pitch.Today was a fluke and so are you!"

Means is winning a nice 3-2 ballgame and then the bullpen takes over.....http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-em2WoG_3Op8/UUYOEMKl2ZI/AAAAAAAAACE/4HU_lV3cWxk/s1600/Scream.gif..17-30. Worst record in the Majors. and they won't give fan friendly prices....you can get them cheaper but they are very plain. $259.99 Men's Baltimore Orioles Nike White Home Authentic Team Jersey $344.99 Men's Baltimore Orioles Nike White Home Jackie Robinson Day Authentic Jersey Most Popular in Jerseys

They have now lost 13 out of their last 15 games. 11 games out. Dead last in the standings. Amazingly, I still want to watch and follow them. Catching a little Bird Fever. Yesterday, Sunday, I get in my car and turn on the radio to hear the O's scored 3 runs in the first. Great! I get to 695 and hear that Harvey is taking the mound. From 695 to Rt29...about 5 minutes...the Nats score 3 runs....from there to Columbia they add another. 4-3 at the end of the 1st. I saw a long day coming yet I watched the game when I got back home. I'm starting to get what the Orioles are trying to do and where there are at this point in their rebuild.

MLB Power Rankings Let's have a moment of silence to remember this. The O's will rise up this ladder and we'll be able to look back and say "I remember when...."....

Sundays win over the Yankees was fun to watch. Even when the Yankees went up 4-0 in the first, I had a feeling the O's would come back. The bats and bull pen won the game. Really needed the great performance by Zimmerman to do it.

Means throws 6 scoreless innings and the O's go 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position. Loss! 3-2.

Well...Boston blew the Orioles up.

Here's the history of Orioles no hitters... Orioles no-hitter history (mlb.com)

Something special is forming. Hays and Means are electric, Means has entered a new level, Mancini.....so much to build around. Club is giving us hope. I'm really liking Hyde.

John " BY All" Means just threw a 9 inning no hit shut out! 113 pitchers, great command, ton of 1st pitch strikes, ...really...a thing of beauty. 1st time for an Oriole in 52 years since Jim Palmer. By the 7th I was on the edge of my seat. Shit...it's rare for a pitcher to go 9 innings in today's baseball. O's beat the Mariners 6-0.

Saturdays 8-3 win was a nice detox from the draft. I was worrying a little bit in the 7th. Tate really pitched good in relief. Stewart running into that roof was scary as shit. I thought he broke his neck or knocked some teeth out. He's one tough dude.

How about that! That bats woke up. Hitters were patient. Means pitched great. The O's should keep him. Eventually they will have to keep good players or it becomes a 10 year rebuild.

Yea...the pitching too. At least Hyde sees and points out what is wrong with the offense. I thought they were swinging at anything so pitchers kept throwing junk....which they swung at.
