Il BuonO

Wow, 40 pitches through 3 IP and 12 were to Rizzo.

He’s struck out Mancini twice.

Harvey has everything working.

Really nice 0-1 CH to Odor.

The Orioles were lucky to get two runs off this guy, seven SO in 3 IP.

Franco especially looked awful, but that CU by Taillon is nasty.

Command is just so much better for Harvey compared to the two or three games before the AS break. Constantly was missing in the middle of the plate.

Emphatic punch out on a great pitch by Harvey.

Maybe Harvey gets under a 6 ERA tonight.

Taillon had something to do with that.

Looks like the zone might be a little tighter tonight.

Coulda really used two pitches in that AB The 2-2 pitch was a strike also.

Loud strike, that’s all.

Just can’t used to Odor without the beard.

Nice to give Harvey a little cushion right off the bat.

Mullins now 13 in a row.

Let’s keep it reasonable. Remember, the last name of the owners is still the same. I’ve already heard Stroman from SG in another thread. Another suggestion offered up the contract of Odorizzi at 2/$20.5 mil. I like Stroman a lot, but I don’t think the Orioles are signing anyone to a four year deal. A two year deal is believable. I hear Dylan Bundy will be available and CHEAP.

I like the idea, but I don’t think it’s likely. More and more I get the sinking feeling that ownership today isn’t all that much different from ownership of the past.

On another note, pretty impressive he goes seamlessly from RF to 2B.

Yeah, classy. What exactly did McCullers have to do with the so-called cheating?

I’m gobsmacked by your use of “mellifluous”.

A great look into Akin and his sequencing and command would be when he faced Sanchez last night. Strike three was a 94 mph FB perfectly placed on the inside corner, Sanchez didn’t move, just walked away. His spin rates allow him to pitch in like that. And I’d gladly welcome a 92-94 range. Some of this is trusting his stuff. Of course, he needs more than a well located FB. But it’s a start.

That’s what I mean, there is no course.

They pick up Cole Hamels. Estimated to be ready late August early September. Both Kershaw and Gonsolin are on the IL. Scherzer’s first start tonight. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/08/dodgers-sign-cole-hamels.html
