For the first time all year, maybe in several years, the Orioles put out an all righthanded hitting lineup.

Career splits for Jordan Montgomery:  .578 OPS vs LH, .718 OPS vs RH.

I was wrong.   This is not our first all RH lineup this year.   We had one on April 17 vs Nestor Cortes and the Yankees, and won 1-0.

Ample time after getaway day for Hyder and/or Elias to have however sensitive is appropriate a conversation with Anthony Bemboom and whoever throws 45 pitches in a few hours.

My drama critic self is prepared to give Elias four stars if we give the Yankees the easy setting and counter Wander and McClanahan with Adley and Grayson.    You can't beat Mike Elias 21 out of 22 times without getting his dander up a little.

Why is it that with 2 outs a man on first or second the O's batter hits a double and the runner stops at third and not score? This happened yesterday and today.  The runner going to third should have tried to score even though he might have been thrown out at the plate, and it could have caused a NYY error.  Runner staying at third means he would never score with 2 outs. Couldn't Hyde at least tried???   This station to station is worthless.  I have no confidence that the O's will drive in the run with 2 outs.  They might as well take the risk, better than the batter striking out or foul pop up.

I was going to ask about this (Mancini not scoring from 1st on the 2 out double in the 1st)?  I wasn't watching on TV... did it look like a good hold or should he have been sent?

He would have been thrown out. Anyone else besides Mancini and they would have scored. I can't stand slow baseball players. 🦥

A rare treat for me to get to watch some of a game on a workday.   Have a telemedicine doctor's appointment so I came home from work for it.   Can watch the game while I'm waiting for them to contact me on the app at 1:30.   I can even watch it with the sound down during my appointment!
