Feel good about Wells tonight. Also, I believe the balls will fly in OPACY. Hope it's our lineup.

[RVAOsFan]

My first thought of tonight’s game is… why is someone behind home plate wearing a Buffalo bills jersey??

[mrbig1]

Trout looks like a fish out of water.

[mrbig1]

What's up yo. He's not Ichiro.

Well with 23 homers and a .970 OPS, one could hardly say he's floundering.

Orioles' 7-8-9 today all batting under .200. On the bench, Arauz is .121, Odor .202, and Adley .214, but McKenna up to .256.

Adley's OPS is higher than McKenna's.

This string of over the top starting pitching had to end sometime. Didn't expect it to be Wells. Hopefully the offense can bail him out tonight. 

[Riggodrill44]

Wells is scuffling.

[mrbig1]

We can hit home runs too.

I’m being forced to “watch” Gameday while listening to the radio broadcast two batters behind. It’s a miserable setup.

What’s worse, tho, is Wells seems awful. Is he doing as badly as it seems?
