Is it too much to expect us to pound Morrow two starts in a row?

[The Rick]

The O's have a great chance to lose their 15th out of their last 16 series tonight. The lone exception was the 4 game split vs. the Indians to start the 2nd half. We haven't won a series since June 6-8, when we swept Oakland.

This team is beyond pathetic, and I'll be getting drunk tonight to get through this one.

Is it too much to expect us to pound Morrow two starts in a row ?

Yes, it probably is too much to ask. But I'm going to ask, anyway.

[AVencill]

Looks like our chance to pound Morrow is going to be delayed at the minimum. The tarp is on the field here and a pair of downpours have already passed through.

[OsAreSick]

Well if the blue jays pound us let's hope Escobar is the reason he's my fantasy shortstop; I'd like to get sone solace from an O's loss.

[AVencill]

Just received word that tonight's game will be delayed... No start time has been announced yet.

[AVencill]

8:15 is the slated start time, but looking at the radar we could be in for a long night. As I post this, here comes part two of the rain.

[bobmc]

Any word on the Davis and Hardy procedures?

[AVencill]

8:16 - first pitch following a 71-minute rain delay.

[weams]

Chris Tillman bringing it.

[AVencill]

Any word on the Davis and Hardy procedures?

I'll see if anything becomes availible postgame.

BTW, how nice is it to see Tillman sitting 92-94 to start the game and getting two strikeouts to end a 1-2-3 first?

[nate22]

Tillman looks good hopefully it lasts a little longer than last outing.

[Remember The Alomar]

Missed the first inning and I checked MLB Gameday to see what went down. Tillman threw three straight FB's at 94 MPH!?!?! Who would have thought he could have done that in May?

[Malike]

Is the Matusz bobblehead sweating profusely?
