I am superstitious enough I would juice the Mateo-Odor middle infield orange as long as the run lasts.

I do believe that if the magic carpet ride includes a chase for this October Elias-Hyde brokering a delicate SS/2B line switch is part of the calculus.

This is kind of where I am and I think it depends on Elias' goals for the season. Is a push for a WC worth losing time in the bigs for some of these young guys?

Then I look at the 8-9 hole in the lineup and think it would be better to give those ABs to the guys, getting them ready for next year. They have to be better than what's there now.

I'm just gonna trust Elias knows what he's doing.

Tate looks really good.  Terrific slider!

The O's deserve the breaks this year just like the Yankees get always.  The have had their share of bad breaks  for 20 years or more.  We more than earned it. The pendulum should swing our way.  We may be the Cinderella team this year.

I guess Tate was getting ready for a higher-leverage 6th inning before we broke it open.

Although...the two off days in last week before ASB and the ASB really give some breathing room for every Oriole pitcher, especially if that horse Jordan gets some room to run with the opportunity to start three of the next six Team Games.

You get a RBI. You get a RBI. Everyone gets a RBI.

Sweeps are always tough to get. We’re going to need the bats today. We’re due for an offensive explosion. Let’s get an early lead and bury these mf’ers. 

Hate to quote myself, but I had a feeling.

Looks like Hyde giving everyone an inning going into the off day.

Let Voth come out for the 6th now. Build those innings. 

Interesting idea, but I like Hyde's decision. Don't let the sluggers get another AB vs. Voth. Love that Tate got two ground-outs from the Immortals.

Off day tomorrow. It’s time for Gunnar and Westburg. 

I could see Westburg coming up soonish, just can’t see them bringing up Henderson any time soon.

Hah, apparently the Angels are complaining about the Elias Wall too.... Melanie said they named it the MVP of the game after we beat them yesterday.

Villar's ball probably would have cleared it. Instead long out to McKenna

The announcers aren’t really covering the pen. Since we had Tate warming up, then you have to bring him in.

WOW!!! Is this real? Am I dreaming? If so don't wake me up.

And what a nightmare for the Halos--They're begging to be shaken awake!

It’s funny how only Trout, Stanton, and Judge, really “out work” every player in baseball in the weight room.

Rangers announcers were griping about it too. Sore losers. They accept Fenway and the Yankees RF porch.
