Friday, July 15: Orioles take double digit winning streak into the Tropicana Dome

[LA2]

Now that one may really come back and haunt us. Let's see if AR can stay focused on D and not get run on....

Tough night for Adley. Great 3-2 pitch.

So, is there any chance the All-Star Game will ever be back in Baltimore? 

I, for one, don't care. What matters is whether the World Series will ever be back in Baltimore. 38 years and counting.

Third time through the order

[justD]

Why am I now expecting Wells to give up three runs this inning?

 

[LA2]

Is it fair to say that AR has a good eye but isn't yet good at fouling pitches off?

[justD]

Interesting note see on twitter: 

Santander and Adley are both 0-6 with 9 baserunners left on base.

Yeah, I have never seen an Orioles Championship. I was born in February of 84.

Great game by Wells.  Wonder if Hyde will try to get another inning out of him.  He's on 5 days rest and won't be pitching again for a while.

But on the other hand 23 have a well rested bullpen and Wells might be on a season in innings leash.

Nope.  Super quick 3 outs.

The thrill and pride of it never fades.

My dad had tickets to Game 6 of the 83 World Series. Obviously never got to go. As a 16 year old I just assumed the O's would be in the WS every few years.

Tough decision.

He just seems to be too confident in his ability to judge a ball or strike and not experienced enough to know how to read what an ump will call.  I mean he seems to ask the ump every time he fouls one off whether it would’ve been called in the zone.  So just learning how to read the umps’  zones?
