Saturday afternoon October 1: Orioles look for win #82 and a winning season, weather permitting

That was a weird ending. I wondered if he left too soon that seemed odd that he got home so fast on such a short fly ball

Another lucky break.

Oh man that’s so awesome. Didn’t it seem like he’d gotten home wayyy too early? I love watching their indignant confusion. Lol

Honestly didn't look like he left early on replay. The O's just got bailed out by the Yankees blowing their challenge in the first.

[justD]

Annnddd to find out they lost their challenge in the first? Ha!

(I was going through Clear/TSA Precheck at the start of the game. What bliss that combo is!)

So, I watched the Rizzo hit by pitch several times, and he makes no attempt to avoid the pitch. However, by the rules, first base should not be awarded if the player does not try avoid being hit. I know the rule is interpreted pretty loosely, but getting hit seems to be part of Rizzo’s game.  As mentioned, he stands right on top of the plate and has been hit 22 times this year alone.  And I have seen Rizzo get hit and be awarded first base on pitches that appeared to be inside strikes. Any way, I would like to see the rule properly enforced against him at least once.

Voth's pitch count not bad for someone who's given up that many runs and hits in 3+ innings. Hope he's settled down and can give us six innings to save the bullpen. But him not having any K's so far is a bad indicator.

Welcome back. Where'd you fly to? I haven't been on a plane since Nov. '19 because my flying is almost always to Asia and I didn't want to deal with the COVID policy contingencies.

He has a K now!!!

Voth has recovered nicely. 

The offense..  not so much 

[Moose Milligan]

And 61 years to the day and the minute that Roger Maris hit home run 61 in 1961, Aaron Judge strikes out. 
 

Shut up, Kevin Brown.

Good for him! Have to give a tip of the cap to the way the O's no-name pitchers have dealt with Judge and the media frenzy, especially in the Bronx.

[O's84]

Can we at least get a hit?

[Moose Milligan]

McKenna, working the count!

[OriolesMagic83]

O's will probably be saved from Cortes throwing a no hitter because the Yankees want to rest him for the playoffs.

We're not even halfway through the game and the MO of the O's this year has been late scoring while the bullpen holds the opposition at bay.
