Wednesday afternoon: Rubber match vs Tampa

[Gurgi]

Pat with a homerun....not much over the fence but that dont matter.  

[SteveA]

Following on Gameday, on a second screen while doing work on the main screen, it sure seems like these pitchers are working fast.   I'll glance over to check every couple minutes and several at bats will have gone by.

Urias with the ole’.

[Il BuonO]

RM needs to catch that.

[Il BuonO]

Lotta pitches 

[SteveA]

Don't usually see the first baseman charged with the error when a pickoff throw gets away, Mountcastle must have really effed it up.

[Il BuonO]

Like to see RM get going here.

Yeah, poor throw by Wells, hit him right in the glove.

More than makes up for it!

Another first pitch HR!   Second straight inning we have homered on the first pitch of the inning.   (And Arozarena's was on Wells' 2nd pitch, I believe).

[Il BuonO]

Mejia looked like he studied at the Severino school of catching on that pitch in the dirt.

Hi folks, I just showed up, I see that Wells is at 58 pitches, and I also hear from the Tampa radio crew that the oriole defense is doing wells no favors at all. How does he look?

Wells in a bit of a groove.

[HowAboutThat]

The Tampa radio crew is talking about the upcoming 10 year anniversary of “game 162” I remember that night, what an incredible night that was, and the dog pile is when I started becoming an oriole fan.

[Il BuonO]

Everything was up his first couple of innings.

[SteveA]

Let's see if we can homer on the first pitch for the 3rd straight inning.

If I were Wacha I'd throw a ball.
