Wednesday, August 24: Orioles vs White Sox

[mrbig1]

Good night my friends.

Surely somewhere in our farm system there is a guy better than Head 

[Yossarian]

Just saw Oneil Cruz (Pittsburgh shortstop) hit a ball that was clocked at 122.4 mph off the bat.  The fastest recorded in the Statcast era.

That's hard to pitch when you are used so sparingly, but he's never really shown anything than being a mop up guy at best anyhow.

Not disagreeing at all. I’m just saying he never pitches. He is on mop up duty. Why is here. I don’t blame Hyde for using him in 2 run game.

How far did it go?

Do we have any good hitters in Norfolk we could call up to try to help start scoring some runs? Preferably a lefty infielder.

If only the Orioles had the second youngest player in the International League who was also one of it's best hitters that played infield. 

[Yossarian]

Robert just swung at that pitch with one hand

Hit off the right field wall and bounced back to the RF who had just turned around. Held him to a single.

[O's84]

Babip'ed  do death this inning.

[O's84]

Maybe if we can starch a run or two in the 8th we can make it interesting.

Lol, I saw that. I have no idea what he was doing.

I'd never say never with this team, but they have just four hits tonight.

I prefer my runs scored pressed and not starched.
