Im pretty sure we lose at least 2 out of 3 in this series against a highly overrated Cincinnati team. We lose tomorrow for sure..we'll see about Thursday.

Da da da da da daaaaaaaaaa!  Is this the first one of the season?

Rough start to a series I was hoping we would dominate. Reds playing good ball.

I'm guessing you mean overrated by those who exclusively look at current W-L record? Because most people still think they will be one of the worst teams in the league this year.

Wow! Roy  why are you so sure the O's will lose Wednesday's game?

A friend, who's a Reds fan, said Garrett reminds him of Johan Santana - incredible change up.  That does not bode well but trying to temper any expectations.

Maybe the O's can turn the tables a bit tomorrow. Hit a few dingers off Garrett and maybe okay Ubaldo shows up.

It's amazing, I remember being at a Johnnies game where Garrett was playing basketball. He was a solid player but baseball is definitely his calling.

They didn't hit any dingers, but the O's did defeat Garrett and Ubaldo was much better than ok, what a spectacular performance.

This series has gone just as everyone expected -- NOT!!

If you told me Gausman and Jimenez would give up 8 runs in 10.1 innings this series, I would have believed you. But my guess for how those runs and innings would be spread out would have been... not that.

That Garrett guy looks like a stud.

 

Thats a lot of arms and legs coming at you with a good mix of speed.

 

Very glad we won't have to face him again this year unless it's in the World Series.

I was sitting behind home plate. He was very polished. Smooth, compact delivery, threw strikes. Not overpowering, but great deception and command. Picked him up for my fantasy team.

[Norfolk orioles]

So did I.

 

He's dominated every level he's ever pitched at and so far.

 

Tonight against a good O's offense he only allowed a RBI single and a sac fly.

 

He's got a little Dontrelle Willis in him but it seems to me he has far better control. Still early I know but I wouldn't bet against him.

Having seen Garrett now, that's not a bad comp.   He's impressive.

It's a real good one.

LH's had a 891 OPS vs Feldman last year and a 855 OPS this year. We should probably play Kim and Flaherty. I'd keep Castillo in the lineup rather than having Joseph catch Miley. 

1.  Kim LF L

2. Jones CF R

3. Machado 3B R

4. Davis 1B L

5. Trumbo RF R

6.  Castillo C R

7.  School 2B R

8.  Flaherty SS L 

9. Miley P L?
