I doubt that Hyde brings him back out. We shall see.

Ruzious you were right. My bad for lack of faith in Lopez.

[SteveA]

Nice play Trey!

[LA2]

Wynns is calling good pitch sequences and Lopez can actually supply the pitches competently.

[Gurgi]

LOPEZ!!!

 

[LA2]

Lopez turns in his full six innings on 100 pitches. ERA is now a still-high 5.75.

Nah, you gave him the motivation he needed.  Thanks for taking one for the team. 

[Ruzious]

Gotta believe the O's bullpen will come through today - after the last 2 debacles.

Maybe Hyde will be less inclined to try out his new guys today. And Valdez won't be brought in

[Ruzious]

Man, that looked bad.  Hopefully he's ok.  Note - the pitch before that was also wild.  

[LA2]

What happened--Mullins HBP?

[LA2]

Oh I see probably Rays' Johnson got injured. On DJ's groundout?

The Rays pitcher probably just blew out his elbow.   Tommy John is calling.  He threw the ball behind Mullins.

Oh sounds awful. I wish him a sound recovery.

[LA2]

Seeing that Mullins walked made me look up his OBP. .383! True lead-off hitter. With power and speed too.

It looked bad and the pitcher looked in pain and uncomfortable.  He rolled on the ground a little then got up.  No real update on what is the problem but I would bet money the elbow is torn.
