@ChuckKaiton Mine too, Chuck. When I first started learning about baseball, in Baltimore in the mid ‘50s, the Orioles broadcaster was Ernie Harwell. I was very sad when he left for Detroit. Fortunately the Orioles had a string of excellent successors, especially the wonderful Chuck Thompson.

The broadcasters of my youth!

@BrianPesce2 And a bunch of old friends miss you (and Brett). Very gutty effort by the undermanned Devils in this series.

Tough series tough loss! I hate saying this but wait till next year. Was great meeting a bunch of new friends and I say thank you.

@JH47900883 @Jeff_Ermann I was thinking the same thing. And it wouldn’t have to be those. Even Clemson, Syracuse, Wake, etc

@Jeff_Ermann Probably wouldn't look that way for Duke, Carolina, UVa, ... 🤔

Surprised by this student turnout.

@danlatorraca I’m not a Yankee fan at all, but I respect baseball history. I agree they have too many retired numbers, but I would leave 8 retired.

@LukeDeCock I’ll miss your columns, Luke, but your family comes first…always. Best wishes and prayers that all goes as well as possible.

@kheadman @retrofloppy Sadly, this would never fly in many states, including one state where you taught. In that state, it would probably get you fired.

Huge thanks to @retrofloppy for reuniting me with my old MCPS teacher files 🤗 Came across this Student Agreement I used to have my students sign (circa 2000), and it seems to me more relevant in current times and that we could all gain by abiding by it.

@LukeDeCock @courierjournal My condolences on your loss, Luke. Sounds like an awesome woman. Your family’s journalism heritage is amazing and I hope it continues through the earthquake that is shattering the industry.

@LukeDeCock I was thinking the same thing all through the playoffs. And other than Trocheck (a huge loss) and maybe Geekie or Foegele, I don’t think any of them would make the current Canes squad.

@JakeDRill Did Coulombe empty the tank with his one pitch? Very hard to understand why he didn’t pitch the next inning.

Corbin Burnes “emptied the tank” in the 6th, #Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said, which is why Burnes’ night ended after 85 pitches.

@JakeDRill @bmags94 Tom Phoebus…18 innings. Those were the days…….

Pitchers to allow 0 runs in 11.1+ IP over their 1st 2 outings for the #Orioles: Albert Suárez (11.1 IP, 2024) Mike Wright Jr. (14.1 IP, 2015) Dave Ford (15 IP, 1978) Tom Phoebus (18 IP, 1966) More after Suárez's 2nd stellar outing from @bmags94: mlb.com/orioles/news/a…

@LukeDeCock You are right. The game nickname actually makes it more memorable. And that 2006 SCF game was amazing, but since the winning goal resulted from a terrible misplay by the other goalie, it seems a bit less pure than what happened last night.

@LukeDeCock Interesting that all the others were on the road. No encouragement from the home crowd. Last night was terrific, but doing it in the opponent’s building is even more stunning.

@RichDubroffMLB Rich, I am very much enjoying these midday questions. A quick read, but very relevant questions from knowledgable fans. Thanks.

Midday Mailbag: Should Rutschman swing at the first pitch? dlvr.it/T5kh05

@RichDubroffMLB Who am I to question Hyde? But why would he bring in his closer in a tie game in the road? Unless he planned to have him pitch two innings, you have to save him to protect a lead.

Each weekday, I answer #Orioles questions. Please tweet yours or email them: Rich@BaltimoreBaseball.com

@SimplyAJ10 @Orioles @AdamJonesPod Great exercise , AJ. Ten years from now, will any of our great youngsters challenge Brooks or Cal on this list? My opinion: If they stay for at least ten years, maybe. But if they aren’t O’s for life, their credentials would not bump our HOF lifers. But 2nd base is up for grabs.

What would your all time @orioles lineup look like? @AdamJonesPod

@LukeDeCock Luke, I’m watching less and less basketball these days. Not due to player actions, but due to the incessant whistles and reviews. The game has no flow and takes forever. Combined with unmanaged NIL actions, it doesn’t hold my interest or loyalty.

@mikemaniscalco @Canes I’m still interested in your thoughts about how the lack of an AHL franchise has impacted the Hurricanes season.

A Thursday edition of #CanesCast coming later what could you want to know about the @Canes that Shane Willis and I could answer?

@mikemaniscalco @Canes Just a reminder about my comments regarding the lack of an AHL affiliate. Maybe a discussion topic. I’ll be late getting to listen to this installment, but I’ll catch up with it when life settles down.

New episode of #CanesCast to start the Yew Year. We’re sure that means brand new @Canes questions for Shane and me.

@mikemaniscalco You had to spoil a great message by using a Yankee. Geez.

@BrianPesce2 Merry Christmas, Brian, to you and the family. May Santa wrap up some W’s and put them under our trees.

Merry Christmas to the people I truly care about. Thank you and God Bless
