Wednesday, July 6: Orioles try to get their first series sweep since last July vs Nats

[PHRESH]

[LA2]

Three tense 1-run wins at home including two walk-offs.

[Just Regular]

Half a billion doesn't buy what it used to.

I think Mateo mobile enough to make that play Seager missed that got our two runs in, and doubt Seager makes the one that got Jorge an anxiety-reducing first out.

Lopez looks like he's got his mojo back 

Lopez needed to bouce back tonight and he did. I would have been getting worried if he pitched poorly tonight. I think Lopez still has the best shot at being the Orioles all star game representative.

We're back to another 4-game winning streak and five under .500, which would be third place in the AL West.

We don't have anyone hitting well enough this year. It makes perfect sense our rep will be a pitcher. Lopez is certainly deserving. 

[Beysbol]

Man, this is so awesome!! So happy that Baltimore got the sweep, they're only 5 games under, and Lopez got the save!! 

[Remember The Alomar]

Nice to return to a sweep.

The rest of season is full of games vs. teams directly above us in the wild card race.  Ridiculous amount vs.  Toronto.  Crazy to even consider the thought of fighting for a WC spot.

Maybe we can ruin a team's playoff chances.  It's hard to decide between Boston or Toronto.

The hope that 2022 could resemble 2011 (69 wins, capped by the Reimold/Andino heroics on the last day of the season to eliminate the RS), and that the next few seasons could be something remotely resembling 2012-14, seemed awfully dim until recently. But at least the first part doesn't seem crazy now.
