Orioles a well knit group that'll be in front of the tv just like the Nationals when the playoffs start

“We know our identity. We are the team to beat in the National League. Everybody knows it. We know it. It’s just how it is. It doesn’t change anything.”

“We’re such a great team,” Harper said of the 14-15 Nationals, who have won seven of their last nine since a six-game losing streak. “We’re the team to beat. Everybody knows that. We’re going to get hot. Everybody knows that too.”

"I mean, that's unbelievable. So to be able to have a guy like Scherzer come in, I just started laughing. I was like: 'Where's my ring?' Cause it's just stupid," he said to CSN's Mark Zuckerman and other reporters.

Denard Span per @chasehughesCSN "I would put money on us.. but there's no betting in baseball."

This doesn't make sense to me...

I feel like Bryce and Pap should be best friends

Interesting how Desmond is chilling there watching the whole exchange. Might want to intervene/step in between, bro.

Ah well, I was thinking how the only thing this trainwreck season is missing is a dugout skirmish. I thought it would invole Yunel Escobar and Jayson Werth or something.

Still can't comprehend how Matt Williams sent Papelbon out to pitch.

Papelbon got that "yeah i showed him" face

[madj55]

That's Rick Schu, the hitting coach. He can clear out his locker as well.

Pap the type of dude to pull a chair out from under you while you're sitting down

Type of dude to drink straight out of the carton and put it back in the fridge

Papelbon takes the last tissue & leaves an empty box in the bathroom

Im not exactly sure of the situation since I didnt watch the game but only reason I could think Pap was sent back out was so both dudes werent in the locker room at the same time immediately following the skirmish. Why Pap wasnt taken out rather than Bryce though idk.

 

[madj55]

You don't even need to know the situation. If you know that Matt Williams is at the helm, then you can just assume something bizarre and stupid will happen. I can't wait to boo him off the field tomorrow.
