April 27: Orioles vs beleaguered last place Yankees

[SteveA]

Gametime:  7:05 PM

Forecast:  79 degrees and clear.   Warmest game of the year so far.   It's a night game and so the temp will drop a bit.   So we probably aren't quite to that point in the Camden Yards season where the ball suddenly starts carrying significantly further with the warm weather.   But we are getting closer.   Thursday's day game could be interesting.

Roster Move:  Orioles option Ryan McKenna back to alternate camp.   Pat Valaika has been called up from the alternate site to take McKenna's spot on the roster.

Starting pitchers:   former Cy Young winner Corey Kluber (R) vs Bruce Zimmerman (L)

Likely related to him being the only lefty in tonight's lineup (facing a LHP)

Do the guys get major-league pay while they are at the alternate site?

I have no idea what that means, but I hope it is time well spent, but that when you come back you are in tears because of the glories that you have missed while you were away

[Just Regular]

For all they've struggled YTD, this is still pretty much putting your head in the lion's mouth for Zimmermann.

[SteveA]

From Gameday it sounds like they were hitting the ball pretty hard vs Zimmermann in the first.

That'll be be 20 push-ups for Mullins.

Chance takes yet another one for the team.

Walks have been Kluber''s problem this year so far.
