I have been to several games this year and watched plenty more of them on TV. Aside from the normal baseball stuff, I have made some other interesting observations....
- Manny Machado is the best Oriole 3rd baseman since Brooks Robinson
- Chris Davis always comes to the plate with a big wad of something stuffed under his bottom lip. At first I figured it was chewing tobacco, but from some of the bombs that Davis has hit this year, I'm starting to believe that it might be spinach
- Jim Johnson elevates the fans' blood pressure more than a Double Whopper with Cheese
- Pedro Strop's crooked hat was the dumbest looking thing to hit Camden Yards since The Wave
- Nate McClouth could easily pass for a member of The Back Street Boys. And where does he get his hats? The visor is usually the size of Little Italy. But, I'll admit, the guy can play!
- If the Birds score ten runs tonight, there's a good chance that they'll be shutout tomorrow
- Adam Jones spits a lot
- The batters adjust their batting gloves after every single pitch
- When Buck Showalter talks, he sounds just like Billy Bob Thorton
- Matt Weiters has a really dirty batting helmet
- Baltimore's DH may be designated for something, but I really don't think that it's for hitting
- Brian Roberts' salary this year was $10 million. He has batted 178 times. That's over $56,000 for each at-bat.
- Bent over with his hands on his knees, 3rd Base coach Bobby Dickerson often looks like he's more ready to field a ground ball than the opposing shortstop
- If Nick Markakis shaves right before the game, he will have a full beard by the 7th inning stretch
