vs. Astros 7/30. (Without Bud Norris)

[allquixotic]

I bet he takes this no hitter into the fifth. At least it isn't a perfect game.

The Orioles might even score a run. He could walk in one, or there could be a throwing error on a pickoff attempt. But the no hitter is looking exceedingly likely.

It's quite embarrassing really.

You just wonder if the first half of the season was a bit of an aberration with the over performing now reverting back to the norm.

Will Harrell have to ask out of his no hitter?

[RavNMadMan]

Allright. Let's get a run or two here....

[Terpsnation]

There wont be a October at this rate.

If TB and BOS keep their current pace, then no, there won't. But I have an inkling that they will start losing some games at some point, just like we are.

This is funny.

[Malike]

Luckily, our best hitter comes to the plate now!

[Orioles4Life21]

Come on switch hitting Jesus.

[allquixotic]

71 pitches in less than 4IP is silver lining. The O's are at least trying to work him more than they usually might. We'll see.

I don't think the Orioles are being overtly patient. It's just that many of Harrell's recent pitches are not even close, and even you or I could stand up there with a bat on our shoulder and take a walk. They're not competitive pitches.

When he throws it over the plate, we get ourselves out. He should throw it right down the middle, 85 mph, no deception, no movement. He'd K Chris Davis, Adam Jones and Matt Wieters on 9 consecutive pitches.

Or maybe we can steal home if the pitcher totally ignores the runner.

Threads are funny:

Poster 1: trade everyone, the train is off the track and headed this way!

Poster 2: butterflies and lollipops, why is everyone so negative? I like dandelions.

I must admit I am currently closer to 1:)

[MDK02]

Don't swing Mat!!

[Greg]

Pitcher is wild anyone wanna bet Hardy swings at first pitch?

[Terpsnation]

Well...we won't even need a hit at this rate.

[weams]

That should be five walks this inning.
