July 3: Orioles face Alex Cobb and the LA Angels

[SteveA]

Tonight might be a new low for Severino behind the plate.

And that's saying a lot.   

Ben McDonald is calling him out.

2 passed balls in the same inning, sigh.

Wish Hyde remembered last night that he can order batters to be intentionally walked.

They called one a wild pitch for Plutko.

The scorer actually called the first one a WP.   But there's no excuse for not keeping it infront of you.

Is Severino starting because he’s just getting paid? I mean, I can’t see the reason for starting him after the game he had last night.

I think that's part of it, but even if Severino isn't going to get released why not let Wynns  play more.

[Beysbol]

Where is everyone at? This board is dead.

[Beysbol]

Of course Cobb has a fantastic game and pitches into the freaking 8th inning.

 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

That was probably the last chance to make this a ballgame.  

[KillerTofu]

Swing the bat, Hays!

I am so sick of watching this guy.

He’s rated as one of the worst catchers in the league and the eye test confirms it. He consistently turns pitches on the edges into balls that the opposing catcher gets as strikes. Not to mention his continued horrible efforts at blocking balls. 

I swear in the first inning Lopez was talking to himself and for a moment I thought,” He’s thinking, ‘If you’d stop moving the damn glove long enough for the umpire to see the pitch, I might get that call!”

He's got that big bat (77 OPS+).
