I was going to continue to try it and [hopefully] put the swing on the ball,”
Though,
Cody Bellinger wasn’t the only one to share his thoughts on how Cody Bellinger performed offensively as manager Aaron Boone was as well saying Cody was nice,”You see his speed. His speed was big on the bases today, too. That’s Cody Bellinger. Just an all-around [player], ”You see the speed, power, athleticism, the two-strike hitting – dunking one out in center field to extend the lead with his second at-bat. It was a great day by a great player.”
The one thing I like about Bellinger this year is that he is more patient at the plate,”
One of his super powers is that ability to put the ball in play with two strikes. He did it again today. He is keeping it under control, knowing how valuable it is when he is on base as well. I feel he struck that balance pretty well. Today was a big-time day.”

Brett Hollander still vividly remembers walking into Oriole Park at Camden Yards for the first time at eight years old. The Orioles were playing the New York Mets in an exhibition game, the first-ever exhibition at the new stadium. But more importantly, it was the moment he knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life.
“I had heard about Oriole Park at Camden Yards for years and it all became very real at eight years old,” said Hollander. “And in many ways changed the trajectory of my life and what I wanted to do and what I wanted to be involved with. Seeing Oriole Park and stepping in this ball park for the first time. That’s one of my most clear early memories.”
From that moment on, Hollander did whatever it took to make his dreams of becoming a broadcaster come true. From starting a broadcasting program at his high school, to relaying beach traffic to listeners, Hollander was going to do whatever it took. And on July 24, 2020, after years of hard work, it finally happened. Hollander called his first game as a member of the Baltimore Orioles broadcast team.
