vs. PHILLIES, 8/13

[allquixotic]

I can't help but want to see Arrieta suffer and lose, especially against us. It annoys me to no end that literally going to a different park made him Cy Young. I know we should also blame our coaching and development program, but it just rubs me the wrong way how he flipped a switch the instant we got rid of him. I'd love to see us swat three back-to-back no-doubter homers against him in the top of the 1st. Not only would that be tremendously fun because the O's would be winning, but I would be laughing at Arrieta. Guffawing. 

I wonder. If we traded Chris Davis to the Rockies today, would he hit 20 or 30 home runs before the season's out?

Well, they do have special "enhancements" in Colorado - perhaps strong enough to make me appreciate what guffawing means.

Looks like ESPN here still won’t show it for blackout? I thought they still showed national televised games

This umpire is already light years ahead of the one last night.

Is it on ESPN for others?

I feel the same way.

Not in Orioles or Phillies territory. 

I think they loosened some of the rules but for most part they protect the home RSN’s.

We're not making Jake work hard enough.  Oh well, we'll just build up his confidence and wait for a 5 run inning.

Arietta looks sharp. It may take a rain delay to get him out of there.

[Ruzious]

Plech.  Arietta's not throwing real hard, but he's hitting all his spots.  2 GIDP's already.
