Let’s hope Ellis does a whole lot better in this game than he did in spring training.

[SteveA]

And Santander has reached base in all 11 games now 

[Moose Milligan]

Tony with the base hit. 

Looking sharp.

Mountcastle to the gap! Double!

 

 

[mrbig1]

got something going.

[SteveA]

Well,an out with a runner in scoring position... But at least we get the run in.

[Moose Milligan]

Hey, got a run in on the Mancini groundout. 
 

Off to a good start with a run in the first inning. 

[mrbig1]

1-0 O's.

[O's84]

I hope it's not the last.

[Moose Milligan]

Hays looks slightly more discerning at the plate so far this year. Slightly. 

[SteveA]

Our first 1st inning run of the year.

[SteveA]

Woulda been nice to give Ellis more of a lead to work with, but it's a start.

[Moose Milligan]

Spoke too soon. 

[Moose Milligan]

I dunno how long I’m gonna last tonight. I’m watching and typing on my phone in bed.  But for some reason I’m not exhausted. 
 

The dog just farted and my eyes are burning.
