Friday, August 12: Orioles visit Rays to play biggest series since Obama was president, Joe Flacco was QB, and Tik Tok didn't exist yet

Gametime:  7:10 pm

Forecast:   Room temperature

Roster Moves:   None announced yet.   DL Hall is with the team, or en route, but there has been no announcement he has been added to the roster or that anyone has been removed.   One rumor is that he will start tomorrow, which would mean he would not be added to the roster tonight.   Will update this if further news becomes available.

Good to see Arozarena leading off so he can't hit his usual 2-run HR in the first inning.

If they bat around and he hits one I'm blaming you.

What if it's a solo shot?

He would be blameless.

Also, three run shot, no problem.

[Gurgi]

When he caught that I did not understand at first what the hell was going on.

Majestic shot by Adley! Idiotic ballpark by Tampa!

[PHRESH]

Haha I thought maybe Kevin misread that one. What a shot. Great start

Me too! I thought I and Kevin Brown misjudged it 

[Moshagge3]

I'm so sick of watching Corey Kluber pitch.

[spleen1015]

Gotta remember where they are.

Sleep Apnea implant?  The idea kind of freaks me out.  I dont like that commercial.

Adley is getting close to J-Rod's OPS of .816 if you're handicapping the ROY race.
