Wednesday afternoon August 17: Orioles try to sweep their way back into wild card position

[justD]

Ha Mullins' speed again gets Guerrero, bobbling it while getting ahead of himself trying to get it to second!

[Mooreisbetter27]

Nice, Mullins moves up at least.  

Come on Blue Jay killer, let's get 'em.

I would guess Akin as well.  Did he pitch in the first game?  Can't remember.  Sucks getting old.  

 

Oh and Perez.

Yeah, although like I said, we might want to avoid lefties vs Toronto

[justD]

Wow.  Taking him out, even after he argued about it.

My bad.  I'm at work and kinda glossed over that part!

[SteveA]

They're taking Stripling out????

I don't get it. Why would you go up there to have a conversation and then yank him? What could he possibly say that would change your mind either way?

I think there is a decent chance we see Perez. Not Akin.

I'm not complaing would rather face the Blue Jays bullpen after seeing the Orioles get shutdown until the seventh inning this afternoon.

Runner in scoring position. Imagine if we win this game 1-0 on 2 hits (or 1 hit and an unearned run) while allowing only 2 hits.

Stripling out. Garcia in. Mountcastle the Jays hunter with remarkably even stats vs. LHP/RHP at the plate after being robbed a few times in the series.

I know, this feels like a gift.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Well.. now a wild pitch would help. 

[dtk9119]

Perfect I jumped on a work call and then we get a hit.. knock stripling out.. but can we knock Cedric in??

[Aristotelian]

Wow, heck of a play by Bichette. The BJ's defense has been mostly garbage this series but that was a great play. 

[eddie83]

Use the RF side.
