O's going with the most lefty heavy lineup all season vs Javier.

Nice first inning for the Vothinator!

[justD]

Pregame members’ lunch!

 

[justD]

Cant tell from the replays here but the way he stayed at the bag after getting up, I totally expect he’s safe. 

[justD]

Yes! I guess I have to work on my lack of optimism lately!

[Moose Milligan]

Ugh I think he was safe.

[Moose Milligan]

Wow, called him out!  **** off, Bregman!

[CynBeth]

Today is unlucky Sunday the day of the week where the O’s hardly ever win and the Ravens are looking bad and have some more injuries.

[Yossarian]

It looks like it's time to pull the tomato plants in the bullpen.  They look like they are done. 

[Fiver6565]

So do the Astros have some sort of Latin American pitching factory or something?  I look forward to the day when the Os can just run out 3-4 of these guys in a row. It’s what we’ll need for true long term contention. 

[Emory Eagle]

Well, got our one allocated Sunday hit already.  

[Fiver6565]

Kinda crazy that Reed has pitched this year for the top two NL teams. Just goes to show that even the best teams have fringe players on the roster pretty much always. 

[Just Regular]

Good plate appearance for DL Hall to lean into the Zen of the pitches are the pitches and just execute your pitch, whether its an All-Star or a schmoe.

If ever an at-bat had a Pennington-Griffey reboot possibility....

Wonder if Mateo would have made that play and thrown out the runner if Odor didn't cut him off.   Really couldn't tell. 

[oriolediehard]

Ump called 2 strikes balls.
