Awesome to see Zach get through the 7th. In today's baseball, it's been so taboo to have pitchers (especially young pitchers) throwing more than 100 pitches. Obviously if he gets knocked around that inning, I say 'WTF Buck!?' But because hindsight is 20/20, I'm able to say, 'Great move!'

I'm shocked Zach is back out there.

Not all pitch counts are created equal. Zach hasn't labored at all in this game. He's been cruising, and there is a nice quick inning. I'm sure he's out for JJ in the 8th.

Hey guys, I think it helps the Orioles that the park isn't as filled with Stankee fans...I'm just saying. I'm sad because I was supposed to be at these games and Irene got in the way. Go Os!

We really need to get to Fartolo this inning.

Boog needs to fan the smell of those ribs toward the pitcher's mound.

I'm shocked Zach is back out there.

We can't accuse Buck of being Robo-Manager/Rain Main today.

Haha, at least they're good spoilers!

The "Let's Go O's!" chant from the crowd is drowning out any attempt at a counter that the Skanks fans may be trying to muster.

Also, leadoff doubles are great.
