Sunday August 28: Justin Verlander stands between Orioles and another sweep at Minute Maid Park

[Hallas]

this ump's strike zone is the size of the entire state they're playing in.

The universe does not want the Orioles to sweep this series. 

I dunno, the universe gave Verlander a sore calf muscle.   And the universe, or Dusty Baker, sat Yordan Alvarez today.

[Hallas]

is that bald fan pissed that someone caught the ball over his head?

Cowser walks it off!!!!

OK I may have been slightly dramatic with that claim, I'll admit it.

Ohtani homered in the 7th to give the Halos a 6-1 lead over The Team from a Foreign Land.

More HQ starting pitching today.  Bullpen should be uber -rested by now.

Voth’s location on Gameday has been excellent.. very difficult strikes to hit

Absolutely right. After watching it 5 or 6 times, that's what I saw as the proof he was safe.

Reminds me that replay umpires don't seem to understand how basic physics work when watching replays.  Like Nate McClouth's homer off the foul pole not being recognized as such, despite changing flight angle by over 90 degrees in one one-thousandth of a second (which could only be caused by a ricochet off a solid object, so maybe they thought there was a magic invisible wall next to the flag pole in Yankee stadium?).

Dog's our pitching staff is for real.

Trying to understand the turn around of pitchers like Voth make my head hurt.
