Two and a half innings, 10 strikeouts, no runs, and we're still on pace for about a three hour game.  Yep, it's 2022.

It’s no wonder today. McClanahan is filthy.

We need a line drive double play.

I just realized but why is Hays playing RF?

In 2022 filthy means 14 strikeouts in 4 and third before the relievers who have really filthy stuff start coming in.

The O's will be lucky to get 4 innings from Means.  

[O's84]

Got out of it only allowing 1 run, but the pitch count is really high (69).  Bullpen will have some work today.

John Means 70 pitches after 3.    He may have one more inning in him.

True. I wish we could see arms from the 80’s pitch today and vice versa. I know the guns are juiced a bit but the velocity of today’s game is crazy. 
 

We can only hope DL Hall becomes something similar to their arm.

At least they are rested.

Urias is a hitter. I’m just saying

Better arm. Did you see the throw Santander made?

Presumably he will play right at Fenway as well, but will be in left at Camden Yards.

[O's84]

Of course.

Better arm.  Although that's always been true, so why switch he and Santander now?

I wonder if we see a long reliever or if we pitch 5 guys today.

I can't even remember who's our long reliever (my memory is so bad sometimes), lol
