I like Hays leading off.

[mrbig1]

Love to my fellow vets.

[Morgan423]

With the powerhouse juggernaut bat named Chris Owings in the lineup, we're practically guaranteed a W.  It's almost not even fair.

[mrbig1]

Hays takes one for the team.

[mrbig1]

1-0 O's. Trey!!!

[SteveA]

Mancini gets the hardest part of the cycle out of the way first.

[SteveA]

Well that sucks.

[justD]

Palmer says “great play” to get Mancini out but I say sh$ty play not reading that better and getting out. 

Especially painful with RMCs homer immediately afterward. 

[OriolesMagic83]

Thank God.  Needed a home run after that throw out on the wild pitch.  Sometimes this seems like the most snake bit team ever.

[mrbig1]

Mountcastle has left the building.

[Morgan423]

That's a little better.

Super-bizarre that Hill got rewarded for making what was probably a top-20 ugliest pitch in his entire career with a run saved though.

Background on the Memorial Day patch MOB teams are wearing. 

Poppies on Uniforms Today as Major League Baseball Observes Memorial Day

Quote

The poppy patch was first worn on Major League Baseball uniforms on Memorial Day during the 2019 season as a subtle and mournful uniform tribute. Prior to 2019, Memorial Day was a head-to-toe camouflage cap, jersey, and sock design worn across the entire league, and usually done so for the entire four-day weekend. The league has instead shifted the camo look as a tribute to living military members and their families to Armed Forces Day weekend(which was held last weekend) by simply wearing camouflage caps and matching socks.

Wow that was a great recovery to get Devers!

[mrbig1]

3 up and 3 down.
