I figured.

You don't strike me as a Cancer Bats fan, not that I am in all honesty, I just like their cover of Sabotage.

That's your 2019 Baltimore Orioles.  Probably would have been out of inning with no damage.  Instead, two batters later, a hanger and it's 4-0.

Time for some music.

We're going to come back to tie this and then lose on a barrage of late HRs, aren't we?

Means has 101.67 Innings Pitched for the season.

That was the final score when Michigan State beat Penn in the Final Four in 1979 ........ 101-67.

Earvin Johnson and Greg Kelser led the Spartans, and that was the last time that an Ivy League team made the Final Four.

Sounds about right.

Davis should have caught that. Throw was low, but no way a first baseman can't scoop that ball. It nearly hit the first base bag.

[SteveA]

12 straight games allowing 2+ HRs -- a new MLB record

49 HRs by the Yankees vs the O's -- a new MLB record for HRs vs a team in a season

and the Yankees extend their record for home runs in a road park

So that's 3 major league records set on one swing of the bat.

[O's84]

Against the Yanks, the Orioles couldn't keep the ball in the ballpark if their lives depended on it.

Yep, and Davis in his prime would have scooped that.   He made plays like that routinely and tougher ones as well.

Severino having a great night behind the plate.
