Labor Day afternoon: Game 1 of the Orioles biggest doubleheader in decades

[Moose Milligan]

Hays, finally making himself useful.

Man Baumann is getting bailed out by his D. Needs to start making better pitches..

Stowers, Vavra, so many better options..

I'd rather see Odor play 2nd and have Henderson DH. At least Odor gives us a little something on defense.

Aguilar is just an automatic out at DH. Then later in the game, you put the pitcher in play because you're going to pinch hit for him after he had 2-3 terrible AB.

He's already looked bad once today.

There’s some pitching luck in the form of a great defensive play. Need plenty of that. 

[Emory Eagle]

Got to let Bichette get himself out

Baum Ann just getting lit up right now. Need some luck and need to get the rested BP ready ASAP

He was going to but woke up not feeling well, so they're giving him a few more hours of rest.

[Moose Milligan]

Oh FFS. 

[Emory Eagle]

Singled to death 

[Fiver6565]

Cue my (ir)rational hatred for Bichette 

[dtk9119]

Good grief.. one hit after another. 

[Emory Eagle]

That’s a strike blue

I assume this was about Lyles. I had not heard that, thanks. 

[Alasdaire]

I think I would rather Urias at 2B and Gunnar at 3B.

[Gurgi]

Baumann is not a big league pitcher.  Probably never will be.  

[Moose Milligan]

I hate saying this but I’d rather have seen Matt Harvey today.
