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

[PHRESH]

Bench Mountcastle. Dude needs some time to reflect on his batting approach 

[Tony-OH]

Just a totally embarrassing swing by Mountcastle. I'm about done with him as part of the future. He just doesn't have the plate discipline and Hyde is doing no one any favors by batting him 4th.

[FlaO'sFan]

Ryan just looks awful now, but that called strike on the check swing was awful.

[ORIOLE33]

Getting tired of Mountcastle. 

[SilverRocket]

Really with Mullins had scored on that single.

[FlaO'sFan]

Man, what a wasted opportunity against Verlander.

[PHRESH]

Gonna be another one of those days.... 

[Dibbs31]

Gotta get at least one there against Verlander

[tntoriole]

 Got to tip your hat to maybe the best pitcher of this era… 3 hitters didn’t so much as touch the ball

Yeah I couldn't believe he didn't score. He must have been holding up in case Peña had caught that liner from Adley 

[RVAOsFan]

1st and 3rd with no outs and then 3 straight strike outs! Wooof! Doesn’t get any uglier than that.

[Hank Scorpio]

Mountcastle is just terrible. So depressing but at least they made him throw 30 pitches.

He seems like a guy that is easy to exploit in a playoff series.   He needs a few days off

Let's chase this old man in the first inning.

That old man is better than most (if not all, especially this year) of the younger guys in the league. 

[ORIOLE33]

Mullins has to do a better job at picking the ball up. That was clearly going to be a single.
