Orioles try to sweep their way to a .500 record in Oakland

If you're gonna get an out, at least move the runner over.

Franco spun around after getting the grounder then couldn't get the ball out of his glove. Then Mancini took the throw to first saw the runner heading home and he also couldn't get the ball out of his glove.

That's a great play but I wish it happened to another team than us

[spiritof66]

I have no idea whether Mancini had a shot at Chapman at the plate since the A's apparently don't have a camera that shows them both. Anybody have an opinion

[Dibbs31]

Geez what a catch. Two great catches by the A's to end innings

Not watching the game ....... but, how does a runner score from 2nd-base on a ground ball to the 3rd-baseman ???

Mildly reminiscent of the movie Major League, when the winning run scored from 2nd base when Willie Mays Hayes started running with the pitcher's wind-up, and kept on running full-speed after he rounded 3rd base following Jake Taylor's bunt.

Laureano Is a really good outfielder, not Kevin Pillar good, but really really good

The ultimate optimist ...... maybe it's a good thing that the Orioles didn't score that inning, because doing so may have lulled them into a false sense of security for the 9th inning.

We gonna need an arm in the pen tomorrow it looks like.  Especially with Kramer going and him struggle to get deep in games.  

[scOtt]

God dammit!!!!!

[O's84]

Of course that happens.  A bloop and a blast against us by the guy who saved the ball in Center.

[bpilktree]

Who did we bring on the trip to be the arm?

That's 1-4-3 if you're keeping score at home ...... and if you are keeping score at home, you really ought to get out of the house more.

[Dibbs31]

Solid inning for Laureano

Getting out of the house is overrated. IMO....
