Teams hit 53 HR yesterday.

I would not at all be shocked to find out they changed the balls again.

Hey look, faster games, no shift, more steals, more giant dongs!

Still, the Orioles are the only MLB team with 2+ HRs every game, so juiced ball or no juiced ball we're doing something right.

So much for that!

Yeah my second plan was Gillespie one and Perez one. Sort of surprised to see Perez brought in middle of the inning. Any sign of injury? 

[Frobby]

That was pitch-efficient!

Tack on some more runs, let's go.

Lefty was up for Texas.

And he threw just one pitch to get out of the inning.

[Moose Milligan]

Just want a clean inning and a win.  LFG.

Yes, I just felt you don't play match-up as much with a five-run lead. But there was a runner on and so OK. I wonder who pitches the 9th. 

[LA2]

Hearn certainly pitched well.

Cionel threw one pitch.   I'll bet he stays in.

From a “Rodeo family,” roping steer?

A five run game feels like a save situation until this bullpen improves. Last season a five run lead in the late innings felt insurmountable.

Now, I'm on the edge of my seat even like you hoping for a clean inning.

Thank you Mr Plate Ump
