I take back every criticism I've made against you Pedro! Keep scoring runs.

Mountcastle is walking all the time now?  Who stole the old Mountcastle and gave us this eagle eyed kid?

Would you throw Ryan Mountcastle a strike unless the bases were loaded with the hitters hitting behind him?

Most of the time you shouldn't throw him a strike anyways. Except for some improvement lately, he swings at EVERYthing.

His defense, too?

Brantley covers a lot of ground in left.  Never realized.

8 game hitting streak for Urias!

The guy who did the surgery on Tom Cruise in Minority Report and gave him the new eyes. I think that’s the most likely guy.

I wonder if the Orioles are taking some Adderall or something....how are we doing this?  All this offense?

I agree but he has gotten better.  I'll take what he has done the last 6 weeks.

Just for the next 24 hours assuming the O's hold the lead. I can temporarily overlook his defense for a day.

Where's the Houston crowd? Gone home. Orioles remembered how they got embarrassed by the Astros last time. That's why they showed up to play (at least for tonight). 

[spiritof66]

Not too impressed with the Astros' relievers. The good news is that they throw strikes. That's also the bad news.

I think they remembered last time they played Houston and got ashamed.

You could make a case for bringing in someone like Lakins now that we have the 5 run lead.

But with Lakins giving is 4 very good relief innings the other day, and knowing we are going to be starting either Alex Wells or someone from Norfolk tomorrow, I think it's more likely we'll need length from Lakins tomorrow than a high leverage inning from Fry.

So I agree with keeping Fry in here.
