Friday, August 12: Orioles visit Rays to play biggest series since Obama was president, Joe Flacco was QB, and Tik Tok didn't exist yet

[Gurgi]

Voth exits.......nice start.  More than I ever expected when we got him.  

[RVAOsFan]

Would have been nice to see Voth go a little deeper and give the pen a nice rest tonight. 

[Fiver6565]

Pretty rested BP. Get him out of there. 
 

nice Hyde coming out. Well done by Voth

[Moshagge3]

Has Akin appeared in consecutive games this year?

[Jagwar]

Thank God Diaz launch angle was 1 degree

Voth has been decent, I thought he would be gone in a month when the Orioles got him. Good pickup by Elias even if Voth ultimately ends up being a stopgap.

It's the biggest risk to the O's continued success the rest of the year. Will these starters continue to pitch well?

That guy could hit 40 if he'd increase his avg launch angle. It's crazy

Time to get those runs back. Brett Phillips revenge time.

Agreed. The fact he’s giving us five innings and keeping us in games is mildly miraculous after his stint with the Nats.

For a minute there, I think was thinking we might even get to see him pitch in the 9th

Most definitely even if the starting pitching has been better then expected it remains the weakest link on the team. DL Hall might provide a shot in the arm now that he's been called up and getting his MLB debut tomorrow.

It's nuts that teams are pitching position players when they're UP by a lot.

Pretty sure I saw he has an ERA in the 3’s since becoming an Oriole.

Idk, but he threw a great pitch for strike three to the first batter he faced.
