Thursday afternoon, September 29: Orioles and Red Sox decide season series at Fenway

[LA2]

Rutschman's doubles number for 108 games comes to 45-46 if we extrapolate out to 150 games.

Had to do a quick chore so I missed it.  Was it a strike 3 call?

No, it was the first strike.

But after that, Mateo figured he had to be swinging at anything.

Don't be putting that evil on us.

Stowers doesn't have a history of splits that would cause him to be platooned.

Also the bit at the end is just juvenile. 

Dick is Rich.  
 

Rich Hill. 
 

Dick Mountain.

I can't copy the image over from Gameday but yea, even in the box it look real bad.

No. Strike one. Should have been 2-0 count 

The umpire has been fair for the most part, but there have definitely been some bad calls against us, decidedly more than the Red Sox.  I'll have to check that one out after the game (not doubting you of course).

And apparently as hard as he could.

I will say that mostly the umpires are equally bad for both teams.

Robo umps.

Well sure.

But now that Adley is an Oriole they can slow roll the deployment a bit.

Almonte a true Red Sox after only 20 ABs: stands there acting disgusted after a totally fine 3rd strike call.

There is literally no way the ump saw the pitch. He had to have lost it in the shade or something.

Very cool K of Devers.

Love the sight of Devers looking foolish on strike 3 and throwing his helmet down in disgust
