Monday August 1: Orioles visit Texas

[Hank Scorpio]

Even his flyouts look good.

Interesting to hear Palmer mention the perspective from the booth. Makes you realize that the announcers haven't been on the road in several years, and it takes time to adjust to new stadiums, especially if you've never been in the booth there before

110.9mph, 106.3, 99.8 and 101.3 exit velocities for Rutschman tonight. Plus a walk.

I love the 3-inning save. Let Akin finish the game and give everyone else a day of rest.

I was a student at Georgia Tech when Auburn came to town in 1985. Bo warmed up right in front of me, not 15 feet away from my seats in the 2nd row of the student section. I was in awe, seriously. Best athlete I have ever seen in person in my life. I also saw him crush a ball out of the GT baseball stadium that left the entire stands in stunned silence. 

He was a monster. So sorry that the NFL injury (on a routine running play!) completely derailed his career

Absolutely. This is old school Arthur Rhodes stuff!

Yep, didn't even think of that, but Rhodes could finish a game in style.

Or Sammy Stewart if you really want to go back.

He's only thrown 27 pitches during the two innings and so it should be doable. Plus next four Rangers hitters are lefty, righty, switch, and lefty.

Urias's bat has gone cold.... Him and Odor batting back to back has been sort of a problem last few games.

Yep, another long guy who could finish off games. Runner arm for sure.

Before tonight's game Urias' .OPS was .598 the last seven days so yeah he's cooled down some.

I saw him hit a ball completely out of Memorial Stadium in batting practice.  Something only Frank Robinson ever did in a game .
