It might be time to retire my Twitter account. It will never get better than this. First, the video I commented on:
Jim Palmer is BACK. Returning to the pod, he talks the #Orioles season, giving advice to Craig Albernaz, and more. PLUS Jerry and Mike discuss draft classes

This is my comment, along with the great Jim Palmer’s response to my comment:
Great point.. new mgr., 1st year, analytically driven front office… possible hesitant to make changes or suggestions going into his first spring training. I was coming from, I’ve seen Colton, tons of talent, but lacks hitting skills to play everyday, and help the O’s win lots of…

Jim Palmer, one of the greatest baseball players of all time, said something I wrote on Twitter was a “great point.”
Nothing I ever post on Twitter will get a better response than that.
Nothing.
I didn’t begin watching the Baltimore Orioles until after I moved to Maryland in 1994. Jim Palmer retired as a player after the 1984 season. For as long as I’ve lived here, he’s been one of the TV announcers for Orioles games.
Unlike many former players who trade a glove or a bat for a microphone, Jim Palmer was a superb TV commentator. If you didn’t know that he had a 19-year career in Major League Baseball, winning the World Series three times and the American League Cy Young three times, you’d think he’d spent his entire life as a baseball analyst.
Not only does Jim Palmer know a lot about baseball, but he also has a well-honed skill for explaining things so that even a dummy like me can understand them.
Besides, he has a great-sounding voice.
