[0] Robertson sure did hit his spots last night, it was indeed something to see.

Kuroda was really impressive, especially getting out of the jam in the 7th. The strikeout of Davis was enormous, in the dirt and getting the key 2nd out. Robertson looks to be the next Mariano, but lets not forget that it’s taken 16 years to find a successor.

Thankfully, April is Small Sample Size month.
Aside from the Orioles record…. and Our Mighty Three (ARod, Cano and Teix), we have the Best Player in Baseball, Sir Albert, with a sub .700 OPS and NO HRs.

A 13 and 9 record is not much to brag about, but considering our Pitching and middle-of-the-lineup fail, it’s actually pretty amazing. If our 3 studs decide to start hitting, we could be unbeatable.

Echoing Shaun’s praise, you guys really are of one mind with the recaps and it’s beautiful. I’m anticipating them as much as the actual games now. Great job Hank and crew!

[0] “It seems blasphemous to make the comparison,”

I don’t think its blasphemous. Should the time come when the Great Rivera, our beloved MO, no longer closes games, the Mighty Hammer seems a most suitable successor.

We’ll just have to come up with an appropriate honorific for him. “Praise Be To The Alabama Hammer” doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.

Awesome recap, Hank – nicely written! I especially liked the way you ended it, so cleanly.
