Wednesday, May 25: Orioles try to win series in the Bronx

[Il BuonO]

Mullins looked lost.

Mateo is not nearly good enough with the bat to be an everyday player.

.435 OPS for Mullins the last 14 days (not including tonight's game). 

[Beysbol]

Is this going to be one of those games where the Orioles go 1-12 with runners in scoring position? You have to score runs against the Yankees.

He does. He needs to be taken out of the 1st batter position.

Rutschman looks like he has a plan every time at bat and I prefer his approach over Mountcastle's swing at everything. I like Mountcastle, but he can be maddening swinging at pitches outside the strike zone or enduring one of his cold streaks. 

Except that called third strike earlier.  That was low and should have been a walk.

But yeah, much prefer his approach to Mountcastle's for sure.

0 for 5 in two innings. This is getting old.

This is why I support robo umps for calling balls and strikes. 

[ArtVanDelay]

We have to be one of the worst 2 strike pitching teams in the league.

Look on the bright side, they've already had five at bats with runners in scoring position!

That's pretty good.

Indeed.  Though I understand they're still working the bugs out where it's being tested in the minors. 

They need to get it working, it's been needed in the majors for years now. 

[Moose Milligan]

Great cover by Wells.  And a nice stab by Odor.

[Beysbol]

Score some freaking runs!!!

Thanks. I feel much better about it now.

Wells is looking good but needs some runs.
