Beat 'Dem Jays (vs. BLUE JAYS, 9/18)

[Frobby]

Givens with a nice, clean, stress free inning.  Good guys up 8-5 with the 6th-8th batters coming up in the 9th.  

[Il BuonO]

Givens breezes through the 8th. Strange, almost like there was no pressure.

[LA2]

Warning: Brock Stewart and his 7.83 ERA may make him look easy to grab insurances runs on, but his ERA over his last seven games is only 5.68.

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Kline is throwing in the bullpen now, too.

Villar's SB-percentage is up to 81.8% and made scoring that last run easy.

[Frobby]

Villar breaks the rule of never make the 1st out at 3B, except he’s safe on a poor tag.    Then Mancini hits a bloop to right that’s caught but Villar easily beats the throw home.    

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Castro is coming in.

[LA2]

OFFNY might be interested in this coincidence. Exactly one year ago, the O's also played the Jays at Camden Yards and Bundy was the O's starter that game as well.

The lineup:

Cedric Mullins CF

Jonathan Villar SS

Adam Jones RF

Trey Mancini 1B

Chris Davis DH

Breyvic Valera 2B

DJ Stewart LF

Steve Wilkerson 3B

Caleb Joseph

And so not as different as one would have thought because Manny and Schoop were already gone by then.

Fry, Hart, and Givens followed after Bundy's 6.67 innings.

[O's84]

That breaking ball was absolutely filthy.

He thinks he's Frank Robinson in Game Six of the 1971 World Series. Frank almost single-handedly won that game by going from 1st base to 3rd base on a single when he had no business doing so, then scoring on a sac-fly on a very shallow fly ball when most would not have tried on a ball that was so short.

 

I know that you know all of that, but I always think of that sequence whenever I see an Oriole score a run due to overly aggressive (and sometimes questionable) baserunning.

Too  bad it's not a save opportunity that he could convert,  making it a Castro convertible situation.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Wouldn't be an Orioles ninth inning without some drama.

The YouTube clip of that sequence is great, especially the way Boog and Earl react after Frank gets up after scoring the game-ending run. Frank's nonchalance is remarkable and typical of him. He doesn't celebrate, he tries to trudge back to the dugout at an even pace as everyone goes nuts around him. You get the feeling his body is silently saying, "Nothing to celebrate unless we win tomorrow's game."

Hyde looks pleased.
