Monday August 1: Orioles visit Texas

[SteveA]

I'm going on vacation, heading for the airport in a few minutes, so this is the last game thread I'll be starting until at least Saturday or Sunday...

Gametime:  8:05 pm EDT

Forecast:  99 degrees, no precip... there's a roof/covering, I know, but I don't know if it is enclosed and air conditioned or not

Matchup:   Spenser Watkins (R) vs Jon Gray (R)

Sigh. Melanie in the tv booth tonight...

[Tom13206]

Let’s go Ced!!! Talk about sneaking a homer in there 

[Tony-OH]

Wow, this camera angle and crew is terrible in Texas.

[Ridgway22]

Ugh. Melanie.....  Cedric entertains and AR ropes one, bad luck to change broadcast now. Im stuck.

I had a terrible time watching in Cinncy, especially the first game.

Mountcaste is an automatic out these days.  .088 BA since the break.

I've gotten used to MASN. I really, really wish we had Bally Sports. 

[FlaO'sFan]

Good grief, Ryan.

[Tony-OH]

How can anyone think this team is a contender when Odor is batting 5th?

Is anyone going to be called up from AAA? Stowers? Anyone else?

Fwiw I'm watching Bally Sports feed (MASN blacked out here in TX) and they didn't have a good angle either. Regardless MASN still sucks.

Another wasted inning. 2 on none out and zippo except for leadoff homer.
