I felt like we had a big chance to win last night with Means on the hill and Shoemaker going for the Twins.  

Now I feel like we've got no chance to win with Kremer starting for us and Berrios going for the Twins.  So maybe this is one of those reverse lock situations.

That was a crushing defeat last night. To magically take the lead like that and then just straight up piss it away... Tough.

I was temporarily excited waiting out the rain delay to see the Orioles take a brief lead and then it was a total train wreck bottom of the 8th inning. 

All I ask is tonight If the Orioles getting a lead late in the game they hold onto it. Losses like last night hurt much worse than a regular old blowout. 

[scOtt]

Sad to say I'll be here tonight for the whole game... Not least of which because the O's are hot garbage right now...

Alton Brown and his wife Elizabeth aren't doing their livestream cooking dinner tonight. Quarantine Quitchen. AGAIN! And Not again for TWO WEEKS!

 

He said on twitter he is in LA "working on a NEW SHOW"!!!!!

So there is that...

Or even a tight 2-1 pitcher's duel loss. I'd be happy to watch that!

I felt we had a big chance to win also, until our bullpen came in.

Why is Mountcastle in LF? Is Hays still “injured but available?”

[Yossarian]

I'll set the over-under on runs given up by Kremer this evening at 6.5

 

[Natty]

Twins should be penalized for delay of game.

[HowAboutThat]

So I wonder how many teams are going to call Mike about Mullins?

4.5. My bet.

Wonder if he'll listen? He is still pretty young. Part of the future.... I think.
