Sunday August 21: vs Red Sox in Williamsport

[Hallas]

This stadium kills batted balls almost as bad as Pacbell park.

Williamsport is in the valley that means very think air sinking into the field, you can see the ball just very heavy even when you square one up then add in 411 very tough to hit it out to center.

I'm persuaded that this Williamsport thing is a good idea -- two MLB teams should play an exhibition game there every year.

[Moshagge3]

Nice job by Tate.

[Aristotelian]

That one looked gone too. Another warning track out. 

[Moshagge3]

Dead ball bails out the Orioles this time. Stop pitching in the middle of the plate to Hernandez.

That makes some sense.  That ball Santander hit had an xBA of .896 and it was a lazy fly ball in this park.

[Moshagge3]

Why would they take out the lefthander and have Rutschman bat lefty?

[Hallas]

I'm not sure why they're not making Rutschman hit right-handed 

[Moshagge3]

I guess Barnes made Adley look pretty bad in Boston last week.

Tee off on Matt Barnes time. Let's go!

[Jagwar]

With those stats... How is Matt Barnes still a late inning option?

Yeah, probably the two worst ABs I've ever seen from Adley have been against Matt Barnes, LOL

[dtk9119]

Another opportunity for Mountcastle. Any guess as to what will happen here?

[O's84]

A nail biter it is.
