Shrewd Moves

[Camden_yardbird]

By now we all expect to see the Orioles taking small steps to improve themselves.  Over 162 games, incremental advantages add up.  Today I was surprised to see the Orioles playing the WBC Dominican team.  In spring training you rarely see teams trot out opening day line ups and the quality of the lineups your pitchers are facing can vary.

Instead today, Kevin Gausman gets to face a veritable all star team of talent, including two Orioles.  It's another smart move by the Orioles front office.

And he gets to trash talk Manny when he comes back!  Good run of pitching by the guys who are expected to make the team.  Okay, except for Brach walking the bases loaded and then a run in today.

Team Canada up 5-0 on the Blue Jays today too.

I can't find a box score online for some reason.   Who blew the lead in the 9th, then how did we win in the bottom of the 9th?

After you click on the 2nd link that I posted, click on "ALL PLAYS", which is on the right-hand side of the screen,  then click on each individual inning (1 through 9) for each and every play.

Gunkel with the win!

Go pitching wins!

I just love his line, 1 IP 2ER, 2H 1BB and the win.

Quality relief appearance.
