I've tried adjusting the horizontal and the vertical.  It still says 7-1 O's.

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.

Mountcastle at Nats Park.   First inning of the Saturday game.  I was there.  Nats also had a GS in the game, I forget who, and they wound up winning, I want to say something like 13-8.

I was close.

Don't know about Balmer, out here 70 miles west in Wayne's Bar it's 90 degrees. "Feels like 97"

It's NASTY hot!

So..... Bring Lopez out to finish the ninth?  Or Wells?  Or someone else?

Lopez has been starting all year, no reason he can't go a 2nd inning.

Not Wells...he pitched last night.   Want him available for tomorrow, where it will likely be a closer game.

Only guy left who didn't pitch last night is Fry.   Maybe be ready to get him up in case Lopez struggles.  Wells is the in case of emergency break glass guy at this point.

Are we using a starter or an Opener against the Rays Friday night. Impacts this game.

Reference to the "Outer Limits" shows from back in the day.  Speaking of which, kudo's to Akin reaching his outer limits.   

[scOtt]

I'm not sure about Ced going to 2B on that... but he got in safe...

Six run lead, I’m ok w/ the risk.

Santander's going to get a chance to bat and try to be the 10th Oriole to get a hit today.

[Ruzious]

Angels have reached their outer limits - 2 consecutive errors.  It's safe to say, they haven't given a great effort today.  

[Yossarian]

Santander did get that 5th at bat - but still didn't get a hit.
