Was I the only one who thought the cat on the field was a harbinger of doom?

What a game for the. O’s!

Nah. Had to be a black cat for that.

It probably wouldn't hurt to have that cat show up again during today's game.  Heck, bring that cat to Baltimore and bill it as part of the show - for the 8th inning stretch.  Make the umps try to catch him.

What a game last night!

Ok, am I the only who thought I’d never see the words of this thread title in relation to Lopez?

First of all, I didn’t know the Orioles allowed children in the broadcast booth. That kid next to BM looks like Alfred E Newman.

What is the “course” with Lopez?
1. Let him start no matter what because the team sucks?

2. Lopez is eating innings (sometimes) and they need people to do that, so may as well let him keep going out there.

3. Higher draft pick! Lopez gets them closer.

None of the above.  Continue consulting with Alfred E. Neuman and , "What Me Worry?"  Wait for the Calvary when AR ascends into Heaven and saves us all from these haunting discussions!

That’s what I mean, there is no course.

Lopez is going to stay in the rotation this year I think. He's Daniel Cabrera. He posts up, eats innings, tantalizes you with a good outing every now and then, but carries a high 5 ERA. He's been weirdly reliable considering the circumstances just in terms of you know what you're getting. Which is usually not getting knocked out after a third of an inning like has been the case with some guys. According to bWAR, he's actually above the water mark at 0.1. Fangraphs gives him a 0.8, even. 

We all know the guy's a reliever, but this year he's given the team 100 innings so far and that's not nothing.
