April 15: Second game of double header vs Seattle (7 innings)

[O's84]

Guy have trouble throwing strikes and Franco swings 3-0, sigh.

Ryan prolly had green light 2-0. TAKES a pitch he can't hit.

Can anybody explain to me why this team didn't try to re-sign Alberto after non-tendering him? He was out in the open market for two months and only got $1.65 million from the Royals. They could have had him instead of trotting out Ruiz every day who's absolutely awful.

$$$$

Modern baseball.   Hitters are allowed to go for HRs in that situation.  (Not saying I agree).  Also, as Ben said, he didn't swing at his pitch.

The guy couldn't throw a strike and you still have 3-1 even if he does.  And it's not like he has monster power. 

[scOtt]

Still alive.

Maikel Franco did not want to play extras*, did he? My goodness.

 

*If you can call an eighth inning "extras"

I have a feeling this lineup is going to generate a decent amount of runs for the Orioles in the second game. 

And this is why I don't bet on sports.

A year is pretty recent for me. 

I also thought that Three Dog Night song needed to be out there, it's pretty good.

I don't (didn't... ) have a copy of that song. Musta lost it in the 2018 crash...

When are they going to get guys that can hit? 3 runs in a doubleheader? SMH

It is on the list, along with guys that can pitch and guys that can play defense.
