Thursday afternoon, August 26: Orioles try to win series vs Angels

[SteveA]

Do the Angels just want to get on the plane and go home?  Are they just swinging to get the at bat over with?

I do see Angels

So who's ready for bulk relief? How many did Sulser pitch lat night?

This is the type of game the bullpen needed.  They have been getting worked to death.  Now they have a bit of a breather to rest up for the playoff push through the end of the season, right?

 

We've already been eliminated from the division.   I'll have to see what our magic number is to be eliminated from wildcard contention.

[SteveA]

9 different guys have a hit.   Everyone but Santander, who is 0 for 4 and may not bat again.

[Yossarian]

Hays has found a new role -- pinch hitter.

[Ruzious]

Our LFers are 2 for 2 with 2 doubles and 2 walks.

Still an easy day. They'll be home and in bed by 8, 9 o'clock (if they want to...) and well rested for tomorrow night's game out there.

Easy times flying West. It's the West to East flight they call the "Red Eye."

[Ruzious]

Lol, the Angels wanna go home; meanwhile Urias gets a 9 pitch single.  

[Yossarian]

Where have these bats been the last month and a half?

[SteveA]

In Akin's entire major league career as a starter he had gotten 3 outs in the 6th inning or later.   He has 6 today... on 12 pitches.

Three grand slams this year. Today we had Severino, the unlikely Austin Wynns and who was the third? I’m surprise that McDonald didn’t finish the story with the third name.

Lopez in....I say it here, it comes out there.

Lopez w/ 98 mph
