Notable Stats

• Anthony Santander is the only player in the majors who has reached base in all his team's games
• The Orioles are 16/123 with runners in scoring position for the season   The Cubs were 15/25 with runners in scoring position in their one game TODAY.
• The Orioles are trying to win 2 games in a row tonight, which would be the first time they have done that since September 7 & 8 of last year.

I like that the O's have moved Mateo to 9th in the order.  Not good to have a weak, slow hitter like one our of catchers in front of Mullins.

Mullins has more dongs than stolen bases this year.

Homeruns are good for knocking in weak, slow hitters I hear.

I have a bad feeling about this one

Syndergaard is probably the best starting pitcher the Orioles have faced so far this season.

Meh, he's no Nestor Cortes.

And we still have the echo in the broadcast

Did they shoot off fireworks before the start of the game? Why is there smoke/fog on the field?

And we hear the ball hit the catchers glove or bat before we see it.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Ok can we at least get a sac fly with Mullins on 3B with one out?

Consistency of approach is critical to success.
