I am sure that there are plenty of other more recent hot streaks, but I recall Cal putting together two weeks in ‘99 where he went 29 for 61 (including a 6 hit game against ATL).

Ah yes, Sunday night national TV game, vs Smoltz   6 for 6.

Laff laff Palmer just said,”wouldn’t the Yankees like to have the Orioles offense?”

laff laff

[Ruzious]

That's why it was a real good move to put Harvey in in the 6th - Alonzo was up 3rd, and he's their big bat.   

[Ruzious]

We have 6 hitters with 2 hits each - in the 6th.  .  

[SteveA]

I love doubles!

[Ruzious]

Wow, what's the O's record for most doubles in a game?

What's so funny?

60 games into the season, the Orioles average 4.07 runs per game, and the Yankees 3.72.

And we have 8 tonight and the Yankees have 0 so far, so those numbers will get further apart.  

Even if we had scored 0 runs Sunday instead of 18, we would still be ahead of them, so you can't chalki t up to that game.

Mountcastle drops one in front of the Hamburgler in CF and joins the hit parade.   Now everyone in the lineup but McKenna  has a hit.   Our second straight game where 8 of our starters have gotten at least one hit.

Poor McKenna.  He has hit two balls that could have been hits.  Hit them hard, but just right at people.

[SteveA]

47 hits in our last three games.

[Yossarian]

Batting averages creeping up - all up and down the order.

[Ruzious]

Wells looks like a 20 year old phenom.  Are they sure he's 26?

I am laughing because just think how angry the Yankees are. I’m not laughing at the Orioles, certainly.

 A lot of hitters go home after the game and curse Kevin Pillar
