Thursday afternoon 8/18 Makeup Game: Orioles try to sweep season series from Cubs

[Gurgi]

Mountcastle not looking like a dangerous hitter is killing our lineup.   Hays sucking is also bring us down. 

Mountcastle cant play anything other than DH/First very well.   I wonder if he is not in Elias's long term plans?  Wound not be surprised if we have other plans.  

[ORIOLE33]

Lots of swing and misses lately.

We need a true #3 hitter.  Haven’t had that since Manny.

Is it just me or was that a pathetic stretch by Mountcastle? He barely extended his arm it seemed. 

[Gurgi]

Odor makes a solid catch.

"A little snowcone as he billy-goats himself onto the tarp" (Odor tracking down the foul ball in the sun.)

Nice play.

Lets get some runs, mfers.

Trey homered for the Astros today.   Against the White Sox, whom we are fighting for a wild card spot.

Our guys are sleepwalking so far. Hyde might need to start throwing things in the dugout to wake them up. 

[ORIOLE33]

You’d think they were facing Randy Johnson with all these swing and misses.

Great play by Urías

There is no excuse to lose to the Cubs!  Especially how important these games are.

[ShoelesJoe]

Watkins at 34 pitches through three innings. Cub team has nothing to play for, and will fold like yesterday’s laundry if we put a couple runs on the board. This game should be a gimmie.

Hays and Mountcastle are turning into a major liability right now. How much longer until Elias and Hyde make a move??

[Moose Milligan]

There we go, Cedric with the triple.
