O’s(good guys) vs Mets (Meh) 9-9

[HowAboutThat]

Featuring the mighty Jorge Lopez against Rick Porcello in a battle of 5.5 ERAs( 5.59 vs 5.54... but SSS Alert)

[HowAboutThat]

I’ve been excited about this game all day. More excited than I have any right to be(we’re 20-21 for Pete’s sake) and I have to work in 20 minutes, grrrr.

Last night, the Mets' announcers pointed out that the Orioles scored 4 or more runs for the 9th consecutive game for the first time since 2007.

I didn't look them all up, but I did look up the 2007 Orioles and the 2014 Orioles (the most successful Orioles team overall since 1997.)

Sure enough, not only did the 2007 team have those 9 consecutive game of 4 runs or more, but the 2014 team did not ........ not necessarily empirical proof that the other 11 Orioles teams between 2008 and 2019 did not accomplish the feat, but it is a sign that the Mets' announcers likely knew what they were talking about.

Also of modest interest is the fact that the 2007 Orioles (69-93) scored 756 runs for the entire season, while the 2014 Orioles (96-66) scored only 705 ...... but the 2007 Orioles were only 9th out of 14 American League teams overall, while the 2014 Orioles were 6th out of 15.

Caleb starting for the Jays.

[HOF19]

Good baserunning Mullins .

[HOF19]

I like multi-hit innings........A LOT !!!!!

[Tony-OH]

That's the plate coverage I was talking about in his scouting report. the ability to cover the low and away and still get hits is part of what will make Mountcastle's bat special.

[HowAboutThat]

Oh my gosh, are these guys for real? Meanwhile over in Buffalo, the Blue Jays jump to a 2-1 lead In the second.

[HOF19]

C'mon Hanser !

[Yossarian]

That's it!!  I'm done with Alberto.  Leaving a runner in scoring position while killing a rally. Inexcusable.  

[HowAboutThat]

OK, bottom of the first, don’t give it all back at once now, ya hear?
