And now they have to play in an extreme pitcher's park in Baltimore.   Sucks to be them!

Moving the wall back has helped so much!!!11

Expecting a disaster tonight, just would be par for the course.  It's still G-Rod, Hall and then everyone else.

And the Red Sox still have two more home runs (11 vs 9) as a team than the Orioles even with their current home run drought.

I like Bradish.

But I liked Kremer, Lowther and Baumann too.

[Just Regular]

Before his first pitch, hat tip to Dylan Bundy and his 3-0, 0.59 ERA start.

Wouldn't you know Bundy pitches tonight too, and we play Minnesota next?   I suspect one or the other of them will get extra rest but if not Wednesday Bundy-Bradish could be in play.

I can't believe how nervous (excited?) I am for this whole night, between Bradish and DL Hall and Adley. 

[SteveA]

Welcome to major league plate umpiring, Kyle.  Ball 1.

[ArtVanDelay]

Bradish absolutely hosed on his first career pitch. 

[seak05]

Oh cmon 

[ArtVanDelay]

Adley would’ve caught that. 

[SteveA]

Wonder how many pitchers have started their career with a K/PB.

Catcher is just pulling a Severino and making sure the Rookie doesn't have to deal with the stress of a perfect game.
