Good to see that Owings is available out of the bullpen.  Could be a regular feature after a pitcher throwing close to 100, then go to a pitcher throwing in the 50's.

France hit a deep flyout to start last night's game as well, I believe.

FYI it's Wednesday not Tuesday, so hopefully we don't see a repeat of yesterday's thrashing. 

(Even I screwed that up because Monday was a holiday.)

I would be sad if I got Groundhog Dayed on a day featuring an O's 10 run blowout loss.

EDIT: I think Mr. Odor just offered solid evidence that today is not that day.

Odor is our Rally Monkey

[SteveA]

Wow, Odor comes up with the huge blast vs a lefty, the reigning Cy Young winner!

I'm just glad Hyde had the sense to start Odor against a LHP instead of giving Owings the start. Odor is hitting LHP better than Owings and he's been hot recently.

Gonna be watching Mateo in the field even more than usual given that weams forum thread.  He has to start hitting.

Mateo's OPS in May was .648 (not good), but an improvement over .578 OPS during April.

In fairness, there are several posters that can probably hit better than Owings.

GrayRod at 61 pitches thru 5 scoreless innings.  2 hits, no walks, 4 K's.

There are probably several fans who could fling bats from the stands at pitched baseballs and get better results than Owings.

Ohhhh that shot of Chirinos and AR is awesome!

Damnit. Grayson Rodriguez leaves the game with a trainer.
