Anyone know why the scheduling every season has the Orioles playing the Yankees so much? It's extremely annoying

It's an unbalanced schedule that has every team playing their division rivals a ton.  The O's liked to complain about how difficult the division was while ownership worked to keep the unbalanced schedule since it increased gate revenue.

It was changed in the most recent CBA, so there will be fewer games going forward.

Ump just stole that at-bat from Mancini

[Matt Bennett]

That good at-bat aside, I'm so down on Ramon Urias. He's a pretty one dimensional player on both sides of the game. You really only want him at 2B. He's not that fast and has a weak arm. At the plate, OBP was his knack. Decent contact/hit skill. Haven't seen either of them this season. He seems to have warning track power. 

Definitely been one the larger disappointments. Of course, a 2 week hot streak could change that.

Oh, ok. Thank you for that explanation. I never knew that. I'm so happy that the new CBA will be doing away with this. Will the Orioles also be playing teams like Colorado, Arizona, San Francisco, Atlanta, San Diego, and other teams that the Orioles rarely see?

First and third pitches were balls, bad calls.

But one change that has received far less attention is the dramatic revamp of the league schedule. Beginning in 2023, teams will play fewer intradivision games (14 as opposed to 19), and every club will play at least one three-game series against each of the 29 other clubs every season

Tate gets through the seventh.

lets try to  get through next two innings without having Judge come up again.

Rizzo gone  

[Just Regular]

Baker-Tate-Krehbiel kind of finishes "guys who didn't pitch yesterday".

Lopez-Perez-Bautista would be the day game after a night game thing.

[UMDTerrapins]

The New York Yankees…..leading the league in wins, ERA, and crying.

Looks like the plan was to have Krehbiel pitch to three guys and only three guys.

And Perez would be "3rd appearance in about 42 hours" although he didn't throw many pitches in the first two (but there is warmups, too).
