Second and third with nobody out and the Orioles go strikeout, popup, groundout.

How many times has that happened this year?

Too many.

F that noise! Catcher needs to get TF out of harm's way if he needs to. It's NOT on the batter!

Huh?  IT'S ONLY 1 BATTER THAT THIS KEEPS HAPPENING WITH.  That extended backswing is obviously the problem!  It's happened way too many times!  It's absolutely absurd that this continues to happen.  And I can't believe anyone is seriously defending this.  Hopefully you were kidding.

Not kidding but opinions vary...

I’m going to have to check again, but I think we’re in the fifth inning in Akin hasn’t given up any hits…

[Philip]

MY GOLLY MOLLY.

I was not fooling myself… And I’m not an angry young man either, and points if you get the musical reference.

and only 63 pitches. I thought this game was going to be a disaster. It may not be…

[WillyM]

Akin has to figure that one run is all he is going to get and if he wants to win this game, he will have to pitch a shutout.

To his credit, he has pitched five scoreless.  Only needs two more.

[Il BuonO]

Very encouraging for Akin who’s been trending up for maybe four starts now going back to the Braves. 

[scOtt]

Akin hard hit balls. For outs. GOOD ENOUGH but not good enough!

[O's84]

Have a feeling this inning is when the Jays' get on the board.

[Philip]

Who’s a available in the pen? Scott, Barreda and ?? Greene?
