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.

Was his arm dangling or was he limping? Roch made it sound like they weren’t sure if it was arm or leg.

I think so.  It's definitely 2nd guessing in hindsight, but I wish they took a look at him the pitch before - when the ball got away from him.

Oh, I'm 99% sure it was his arm.

I sure can't prove it, but the Orioles must lead MLB in 0-2 and 1-2 pitches thrown over the heart of the plate.

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

Is there anything Mullins isn't leading the O's in?  Even his 2 outs today were crushed.

It was the elbow and he went down right away. I'm surprised they let him pitch after he threw the pitch before wild and did that arm shake thing which is classic, I just felt something.

Way to run that out Santander. 

[Tony-OH]

If Santander can't run down to first base, maybe he's not healthy enough to be out there. Either that or he just non-chalanted that into a DP

[Tony-OH]

Is it just me, or do you feel this is a game that's going to get away from the Orioles?

Would be nice if any of the Orioles beat writers would cover this, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting. If Santander is playing hurt I can forgive him, but that was a Sunday walk in the park stroll to first base just now.

Well I'm starting to get the shakes on the expectation this lead is going to get away from the Orioles.

I think both Santander and Franco have spent a significant amount of games playing injured this season.

Funny you say that.  I just turned to the wife and said "I still think the Orioles are gonna lose this one"

Our bullpen has been a disaster this week, so the feeling is understandable.

Let's see if Fry can correct whatever has been wrong the last two times out.
