Yikes, Markakis just got blown away with an 85 MPH fastball.. you have to wonder if he's feeling good enough to play... He really should have been aggressive on the 3-1 fastball.

Listening to the radio last night it sounded like he was in a good bit of pain. I haven't watched the replay from last nights game yet but I'm surprised he's playing today.

It looked bad on TV. I don't know if it got his funny bone and he had tingling down to his fingers or not, but that's what it looked like.

That's a pretty frustrating first inning. Niemann making his debut gives up a single to Roberts, walks Mora on four pitches, allow a stolen base, then gets out of the inning without giving up a run thanks to terrible at bats by Markakis and Huff.

I'm still not sure what Markakis was thinking on 3-1. How does he take a strike there? At bats like this make me not surprised he's got two RBIs this late in the season. he really needs to start driving the ball and learning when to be agrressive. Right now, he's batting like a leadoff guy, not a run producer.

His at bat gave Neimann a lot more confidence and really set the tone for the rest of the inning.

Not sure if I agree. At three and one Nick is in the prime position looking for his pitch; the pitcher just made a great pitcher's pitch at the knees on the corner. Sure it was a fastball, but what was he going to do with it? Huff's pop up was on a fastball I'm sure he was looking for sure. I'll gladly take Nick's patience and pitch recognition to take than Huff's swing at a fastball outta the zone.

...Now that next pitch on the strikeout, whew. No excuse.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
