I am going on record-This team is a dog backed into a corner and we are going to see a fight from them tonight like we havent seen...since the Rangers game! There is no quit in this team, expect them to come out of the gate like the Yankees did last night. Hit and runs, bunts, steals...Hats off to the CC last night, but IT'S ON!!!

Good to see the lineup shaken up a bit. A little worried about Chen because of his innings load and a few of his more recent starts, including his last one against the MFYs, but he's had six days, so hopefully he will have things together. It may not have seemed like it, but he ended up with 192-2/3 IP during the regular season, averaging 6 IP/start (32 starts). His previous high was 188 IP in Japan in 2010. The team should be treating this like an elimination game (though there will probably be a few exceptions, e.g. 'pen management); obviously it will be easier to win 2 of 3 in MFY-Land than get a three-game sweep. Hoping for good things tonight.

Chen hasn't won a game since August, hopefully the extra rest will have him primed for a great effort.

Offensively it's about time for Jones, Wieters and Reynolds to show up. They are hitting a combined .150 over the last 11 games. Their failure to score Hardy was a microcosm of recent struggles.

Desperately need these guys to step up and produce tonight.

    • I saw Johnson pitched 4 scoreless innings fur Bowie tonight.   4 hits, 2 walks,  3 strikeouts.   He has a 3.00 ERA on the season. 
    • We’ll always have the no-hitter…
    • Do we know what his velocity was today? I know he doesn't light up the gun but was he at his normal? 
    • Longterm he’s probably that missing RH SU/MR that we’ve been looking for since the Fuji trade.  It’s probably Suarez vs Ramírez vs Tate for 1-2 bullpen spots. Wells and one of Irvin/Means could be in the bullpen mix as well.  Depth is good to have. I wouldn’t sleep on Ramirez either. Elias has shown a knack from adding relievers through trade or waivers. 
    • There's not a single high level prospect on the team he pitched against tonight and even the one out he got was crushed
    • Let’s tap the brakes on his move to the bullpen. His stuff plays and he can get outs. Best of all, he doesn’t walk anyone. He challenges hitters and gets weak contact. With our defense, I’d rather him give up the occasional double or flared hit to the outfield than to see walks. Keep him in the starting rotation until he proves he doesn’t belong. Wells and Irvin both have experience in the pen and frankly for Irvin, though I love him, has a real tough time throwing strikes at times.    anyway, let’s see what the old dog can do.
    • I could see Suarez sticking in a bullpen role long term with the movement on his fastball. Also he might be able to throw a 2 to 3 more MPH harder not having to worry about trying to pitch six innings. The Orioles have done a good job finding pitchers who weren't expected to do much in recent years and it would be cool if Suarez is another find.
