Did something happen to Hays or is he also on the bench? 
 

not a criticism, just making sure I didn’t miss something.

It looks just like a day off. 

Orioles' Austin Hays: Not starting Monday - CBSSports.com

Is the game going to happen?  I drove up to DC for work and there's a light rain here.

[OriolesMagic83]

Don't have MASN where I'm at.  I guess the game started, checking ESPN.

It started. 3 up 3 down. 

[Il BuonO]

It’s on!

[eddie83]

Doesn’t look like the ball will travel much.  Not that those balls looked like HR’s.

Kremer with three fly outs to Mullins on 10 pitches in the 1st.

SteveA, I just wanted to say thanks for putting together great line-up posts all season. It’s definitely appreciated.

[mrbig1]

It's been a good season. When we caught fire, it was fun.

[mrbig1]

How did he lose Chapman.

[mrbig1]

My head hurts.

[eddie83]

That call in our favor was brutal. 

[eddie83]

Another awful call.
