Now that's the way it doesn't matter how slow Urias is!

Exactly what he needed there. Now he has a chance to get thru 5.

Maybe MASN can interview the trainer next?

100%, especially with the current rotation.

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've asked you to stop. In fact I asked everyone to stop.

We're going to need to cover another 5+ innings with the pen tonight.

He can't throw a strike with a fastball to save his life.

Can we get off the COVID talk please. It only will spiral.

He's been skating thru danger this whole game. Guess it's better to give up one run in two innings than throw more strikes and be down 5-0.

Is 56 pitches in two innings bad? lol

Oy, Povich is not going to be long for this game if he keeps losing the plate.

McCann and Santander are slightly slower.

Well at least the Orioles made that interview short by seeing about 5 pitches and watching Urias run slower than turtle in quicksand.

I'll start! .... Yay, an in game interview where we bother a player and act like it's spring training.

He bared down when he needed to for sure.

Norby doesn't play 3B and the Orioles clearly do not want to move Henderson over even for a few games. Maton can play all three infield positions which allows all three infielders a backup while Westburg nurses his hip, which the Orioles obviously do not believe will last long enough to require an IL stint.

Norby was reportedly pinched hit for in Norfolk. Hopefully that's not because of Westburg.

Cortes is going to torture the Orioles forever for giving up on him so fast after they took him in thr Rule 5 draft.

Or, he's just having an off command game.

Not a lot of command of the offspeed pitches for Suarez tonight.

And Ortiz was why I as willing to part with Westburg. The problem is the was probably don't get Burnes without Ortiz so that really wasn't on the table. I'd rather have Burnes for this year than Cease for two.

I do think Kjerstad is a prime guy, who has the most trade value, that the Orioles may be willing to part with at the trading deadline. Kjerstad most likely will end up a better hitter than Stowers, but that's also why he has more trade value.

At the end of the day, it's Boras' job to get his players as much money as possible. That has worked out in some cases, and not with others. Hopefully the "winning" environment here will encourage players like Gunnar and Adley to sign extensions. I'd love to hear that the Orioles signed Henderson to a 10-year contract because he is a franchise guy. Adley is a catcher so that scares me more, but I'd be willing to extend him until he's 31 or 32. Gunnar though is the key and I think the Orioles know this. He's one of the best players in the league, he's fast, athletic, and barring a serious injury, there is no doubt he's going to be one of the best players in the league for a long, long time.
