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

Finally some action!  Ced with a triple!  Great read to see the RF bobbling it to give him just enough extra time.

there goes the no hitter.

Speaaking of liabilities, did Melanie just call Mullins "kid"?

[justD]

So now let's see if having "our two best disciplined players in the lineup" makes any difference today. 

Just so glad not to be getting no-hit once again.

Not a great at bat by Rutschman there.

No runs thru 3 against the lowly cubs.

If only we had a guy or two in the minors ready to come up and provide a spark to this lineup!

After that catch of the foul to stop any rally and now a double, seriously regretting bringing up Happ.

IMO, you put your better players in the more important game to give you the best of chance of winning.  Doesn't mean they'll get it done but it gives you a better chance, especially when 2 of you mainstays in the line up are struggling.  You can disagree and I respect that, but I'm just giving my opinion.

Go O's!

Yes, I'm rather unhappy!

My nextdoor neighbors are at the game today with their 4yo and 6yo girls.  Their first time at OPACY.  Told them about the Kids' Corner, lent them caps (I refuse to call them "hats") and some fake tattoo stickers. 

Really, really hoping they don't end up hating the game of baseball by watching such lackluster play.

With the old wall it would be 2-0 now.  

[Moose Milligan]

thats a dinger last year 

[dtk9119]

With old wall that would have been a homer...

Another one bites the dust in front of The Great Elias Wall!
