Right handed first basemen are at a disadvantage there having to swipe all the way around their body to tag

Gleyber not having a great day, huh?

I think he's passed the "Oriole Killer" baton to Judge.

It’s the MFYs …

Zero confidence in Mancini in the OF.  He looks like a vet player in the twilight of his career and the team out of respect keeps playing him.  This is a very old school non analytics based decision  by Hyde/Elias.

For the record, I don't think you IBB Judge in the third inning. Rizzo is quite capable of making you look stupid if you do that. You do make sure the ball is down. If he takes a walk, fine.

Elias has probably been on the phone nonstop for several days, I think he's delegating the lineup decisions to Hyde.

Must be serious deception from Cortes. So annoying he’s become this, especially for the stupid Yankees.

Agree. Like Ben McDonald said… you throw him four strike to ball cutters and see if he swings at them.

yeah, and he seems to particularly have the Orioles number

[tntoriole]

Our guys are totally bumfuzzled by Cortes 

[O's84]

Will we even score a run off of Cortes?

Take some pitches and get his ass outta there.

Watch his delivery….very short arm action before release and keeps it tight to his body, hitters don’t see the ball until he’s facing them.

If you have pitchers that can accurately locate it when they wish to, it would not be a problem then.  If Rizzo homers, fine by me.. tip your hat.  But Judge right now is ridiculously hot.

Oh good, Chirinos leading off the fifth.
