Sulser out. Zimmerman in. 

[jdwilde1]

Man, that’s some tough luck. Lyles has pitched so well at home this season. Hopefully the O’s can pull it out. 

[Moshagge3]

Springer/Vlad/Bichette/Chapman looking at a mediocre lefty like a wolf looks at a lambchop. Good thing about that LF wall, eh?

[eddie83]

Zimmerman may have to save the day.  

[Moshagge3]

Not many people stuck around for a free game.

I noticed that. Unless they are up underneath.

We are snake bitten all of a sudden.  This will be like batting practice for the Jays.  They might score 10 plus runs on us while we might be lucky to just get one.

[nevadaO]

Most pitches thrown this season was 58 on May 16th.

Hasn't pitched over 30 but 3 times since mid-July.

[dtk9119]

Good grief just turned it on and see Akin out there. Perfect storm. We're screwed

Berrios has been bad this year. 

Akin has a great first.
