Tuesday July 6: O's home from long road trip to face Jays with Spenser Watkins on the mound

[LA2]

Watkins didn't have success with his 91-92 mph four-seamer in the first and so it's been all mid to high-80s cutters, low to mid-80s sliders, and mid to high-70s curves since.

Jeff pissed me off. JUST for the sake of pissing me off. He KNEW that would make me mad and he posted it anyways! It's not about the bottle, it's about a "friend" f-ing with you. For NO reason.

No, I posted it because I found it amusing.  Then you decided to take a bit of harmless fun personally.

[scOtt]

I changed my mind and turned the volume up on the TV and decided to participate in the game thread. And get f-ed with like this...

Urias .286 BA. SSS of course.

That's what friends do, f with you for no reason.  It wasn't malicious.

He can take a few weeks off at the plate, now.

1-5 of Mullins, Hays, Mancini, Mountcastle and Santander isn't bad.  I would say when they're healthy, that's above average 1-5.  6-9 is putrid as always. 

1-5: 1 hit so far 

6-9: 4 hits including a HR

 

[LA2]

HEY!!! I was going to predict Sevvy homer b4 his first pitch but I got distracted with looking up the different pitches thrown by Matz to Mountcastle (all sinkers) and Santander (all slower breaking stuff). Pedro and me were synched up that at-bat!

[Yossarian]

Matz has been getting too comfortable working through the lineup.  The Severino hit brought him back down to Earth.

[LA2]

Pitch count says this is Watkins' last inning unless he cuts down on his average pitches/inning so far this game.

[SteveA]

Thought Cedric might have caught that ball, but he held up and let it fall in for a hit.  Honestly the first time I've seen that kind of hesitancy from him all season.

[LA2]

Watkins losing velo (about 2 mph down from previous innings).
