Aw, you gotta let Bradish go the distance here.  I get having Bautista up but there's a Maddux on the line here.

Would be pretty awesome to have back to back complete games after none for a year and a half.

[Just Regular]

Got a little bit of a Walker Buehler vibe that inning.

This past month must feel very vindicating for Matt Blood or whoever's pitcher template it is Bradish checked the requisite boxes on.

He hasn't pitched since the 18th so maybe that is what Hyde is thinking.

Did they mention the glasses on Santander and Odor tonight? 

There's been gusts of wind.  Earlier in the game you can see loose pants fluttering and the flags blowing in.

Bradish is dealing. 

Does Hyde let him come back out or does he go to Bautista? I think with playoff hopes dwindling you let him finish it

Let him finish it.  Save Bautista for the rest of the weekend, he'll probably be needed.

Awesome to give the bullpen off two nights in a row.

How come the O's can shutdown the Astros, but struggle with the Tigers?

That's baseball..

In all honesty Odor has the only clutch run producing hit tonight. So we're still not hitting. But all can be forgiven against a guy like Verlander. At least we got thru Astros best pitcher and maybe have a chance for 3 out of 4 if we hold on.

I'm good with that.  

If you have a chance to get a complete game 1 hit shutout in less than 100 pitches, you gotta let your guy go after it.

The last Maddux an Orioles pitcher ever threw was Sidney Ponson.

If only we could play 162 vs the Astros

[Moose Milligan]

Alvarez is more mobile in LF than I thought he was.

[Aristotelian]

Bad outcome but I want to see Mullins hitting oppo field like that.

All Palmer talks about is 50 year old games.   I heard him talk about all this stuff the last 35 years.   

He talks about Beltre and Machado sometimes.

So, Bradish is going back out but with the mountain ready to go if anyone gets on base, right?  The BP is rested at least.

I'd get him up and bring him in for the first baserunner but give Bradish the first shot. Not even 90 pitches yet. 

Looks like Felix is sitting. I agree, I’d like to see Bradish finish.
