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

[Gurgi]

The way Gausman points his foot in the windup is really odd.  Looks elfish or something.

Gausman heater was down on velo last inning unless he did it on purpose. Hope he falls behind some. I don’t mind hunting fastballs today. 

Well tell it to the dolts in our lineup who gave Gausman a 6 pitch inning last inning.

Hays is such a black hole in the lineup right now.

That slider to Hays was in the LH batters box. Crappy a** call and of course Hays strikes out 

[Fiver6565]

Not looking good v Gausman right now. Hard to watch. 

[Hank Scorpio]

Psssssst if you’ve got two strikes maybe look for the splitter.

I’m not worried about pitch count. Yes, I know it’s a DH. Have to hit the heater. 

[eddie83]

3-1 heater and pop up.

Someone get on base JFC

People are talking too much hype about Mateo.  We need to bring up the kids next year and trade his butt for whatever we can get for him.   I think he is a shooting star.   Probably a year away from a slump so bad he is out of baseball.   I mean stuff happens.   I am not sold he should be in our long term plans at all.

This offense sucks

[Moshagge3]

Mateo misses a middle-middle 94 mph fastball.

[Moose Milligan]

3-1 foul outs, just not good. Still a lot of baseball left but, like yesterday, it already feels like one of THOSE games. 

[Fiver6565]

Toronto knows they can all but knock us out today. And they came out playing like it.

He should be released in between the DH.
