I'm at the game in richmond. Mason McCoy started the home half of the first by lining a ball over the centerfielder and scored  on a couple of groundouts. Alex wells is on for the second, got 2 quick outside...

That's 'outs'. Then  a walk.  Let me know if you have any Q's ...

.... and promptly picked the runner off.   Mason McCoy started at short ...

Wow our pitcher actually got to pitch in the all star game? That's cool.

[Frobby]

Wells and Lowther each with a hitless, one walk inning and one strikeout.

Bannon is in the game at second now. Popped up to the infield in his first at bat.

So my phone died in the 4th.  My summary ... Wells and Lowther each looked good in their respective innings. Lowther threw harder, touching 94 on the stadium gun.  Neither pitcher gave up any hard hit balls. There were some balls tagged off of other pitchers.   McCoy's double in the first was really tagged, and he made a couple of plays at short. Bannon had a nice line drive to the left center gap and legged it into a double.  All in all I thought the Bowie contingent represented themselves well.  Personally I'm more excited by the pitchers than the middle infielders ...

Lowther threw hard was not what I was expecting.

Short outing. 

The Bowie players are what provide me optimism for late 2020/OD 2021+. They’re going to make up to core of our rotation and supplement our lineup. 

It will be interesting to me if we promote any of the SP & Diaz before the end of the season. 

Lowther, Wells, Zimmerman, Kremer

Tate, Baumann, etc...

Diaz, McKenna, McCoy, Bannon, Cumberland 

Combined with Akin, Harvey, Hays, and Mountcastle. Plus the guys already on the MLB team. The 2021 O’s.

What was the velocity range? He touched 94 with some frequency in the second half as a starter last year. He's been more 87-91 this year though.

Lowther's fastballs were 93-94 from what I remember from last night
