Wed August 4: Orioles/Yankees rubber match in the Bronx

[Philip]

So while Ryan was hitting his home run we had Melanie Newman yakking about nothing in particular, so we missed arguably the signature moment in baseball, which is a home run. This talking over the game is just so stupid I cannot imagine if anybody would think it’s a good idea and that’s not a hyperbole, it really is stupid. Brown actually had to interrupt her. Sheesh.

fir ‘em all.

21 innings and counting.  Crazy

Strike that-love. I would love a Harvey no hitter.

But I’ll settle for the scoreless streak in tact.

I'm less greedy: A Harvey W is good enough for me.

One more out and the ERA drops below 6.

Yeah, blathering on about how inspired RM was by Conor Macgregor and all but missed the HR. Big Ben has to rein it in by saying,”I guarantee you, he can’t do that!” meaning hit a HR.

The mindless drivel that passes for commentary is stunning.

Will 2 runs be enough to win this one?

While Harvey is on the mound, yes. It's the bullpen I'm worried about. I hope Hyde doesn't choose tonight to debut his new RHPs.

How poor had Harvey been pitching to have 22 straight scoreless innings and still have an ERA above 6?

[Il BuonO]

Nice play, Richie!

[Il BuonO]

Well, that’s that.

I mean, even for a backflip? 

[Pushmonkey]

Nooooooo

[Yossarian]

curse you, Anthony Rizzo!

[SteveA]

Well he made it to 21.2 innings.  Pretty darn good

Very poorly. There are very bad past Oriole teams that wouldn't have stuck with him that long. I remember Freddy Garcia, Russ Ortiz, etc.

[Yossarian]

Now - how does Harvey respond?

[schittenden]

My goodness.
