If Anthony Santander doubles off Porcello his first time up he will have a cycle in 4 career ABs.

Brooks is bad. The Orioles are like that troubled girl who only likes bad boys.

[Sessh]

Hard to believe Boston is likely going to miss the playoffs as the defending champions.

[Philip]

Well it’s 7 AM in Taiwan, pouring rain for the fourth straight day, so I might as well stick it out as long as possible.

Won't be the first time.  Last time they won the Series they won 71 the next year.

Well it's 7 PM in Florida, pouring rain for the fourth straight day, so I might as well multi-task as I kinda follow the game.

[SteveA]

Well, could have been worse, the way it started.

[Sessh]

Brooks not bad so far. Didn't completely lose it in the first like he's done in the past.

[O's84]

Porcello has been pretty lucky this game.  Many hard hit outs.

I wish I could multi-task. No cello, no music, no English. I’m playing a lot of candy crush and working on my book.

[Philip]

Brooks heard me complaining.... and he heard Hunter(!!) and McDonald complaining too, so maybe he has a grudge now. I won’t complain if he gives 5 more innings like the previous two.

[Philip]

Sisco’s K rate is down to 37%. That’s an improvement.
