That is beginning to resemble an MLB lineup.

Amazing, the impact of what getting our new guy and our hurt guy back did to it.

Even on a lot of playoff teams catcher is a position that is a black hole offensively. Orioles still have a long way to go, but Adley is going to be a huge boost if he puts up an .800 OPS with his defensive skills.

Let's GOOOOOOOOOO!

Kind of kicking myself for not buying tickets but I'm so excited anyway!

Got to my hotel, checked in, fired up the MASN app on my phone, by 7:03.   Let's play ball!

Initial post in the thread updated with lineups, Orioles bench, and bullpen info.

I like having young pitchers with the stuff to be successful. Bradish is one of those guys, and it's great to see. He has the upside to very good in my opinion. Seeing guys who have no real hope of being successful starters (Watkins for example) was difficult to deal with. I'm OK with a guy like Bradish getting a lot of starts and I can deal with the bumps in the road.

LOL of course.

MIssed third strike call leads to two run bomb

[Bahama O's Fan]

Bad call by the ump costs us 2 runs

[Morgan423]

And instead of batting, we are down by two.  Thanks blue, appreciate that.

Terrible miss by the ump leads to a 2-run hr. Bummer
