Kyle who?

Looks like a closer with good K rate and low homers in the minors. 6' 4". I see a loss here.

Average command of 3/4 average-ish pitches. Nothing electric but he's been successful in the minors. He's had trouble adjusting to ML lineups in his first few appearances. The key will be to work the count early and let him expose his arsenal. If he can't be efficient with his pitches/miss ML bats consistently he's probably best suited as a reliever, but could settle in as a back-end starter.

Not watching on TV, but I'm 90% sure that pitch that's registering as a "slider" on gameday is actually a cutter, which I like as his second best pitch. He's probably best out of the pen where he can sit mid-90s with the FB and work off the cutter as essentially a 2-pitch guy. That curve has potential, but it gets loopy and from what I hear he's pretty predictable with it.

Quite a crowd in here today.

Orioles lead 2-0. Darnell McDonald is apparently having a terrible time in LF for the Red Sox this inning.

LF sun is bad today. Reimold lost one in the sun as well.

Just following the game on gameday, but the strike zone appears to be rather small.

[PaulFolk]

I'm not liking Guthrie's habit of giving a run back every time the O's score. But as long as the O's keep scoring multiple runs per inning and Guthrie keeps holding the Sox to one per inning, we should be in good shape.
