Guess they figured with how many Santander fouled off yesterday that he wouldn't strike out.

Still think deGrom is done at 92 pitches.

With deGrom a K-king, I doubt that that was their plan. Only thing cd have been element of surprise or something they picked up about the catcher. Dumb move in any case w Mountcastle up next.

Frazier was the only guy who had faced DeGrom before this and he's now 4 for 10 off him lifetime, it was something in reference to that.

Thnx!

Tie goes to the call on the field.

That's how it should be, but those calls in Boston weren't ties at all.

Probably getting ready to mention that Frazier is the only Oriole who had faced DeGrom before this game, and is like 4 for 9 against him.

Thnx

Good job Voth.

Did I hear that Stowers said Grayson would give up a couple runs early and would then be lights out?  Or did I mishear that?

[O's84]

That didn't take long.

I hear ya, but everyone has a job and now it's his time.  Next man up!

Sometimes the role of the last man in the pen is to only pitch in blowouts and if he goes a week between appearances then so be it.

We had a rested bullpen and a day off tomorrow, should have been all hands on deck to win this game.

[Moose Milligan]

Ugh.  Hopefully we can get into their bullpen.

[deward]

I have no confidence at all in Voth's ability to replicate last year's success.

We've actually got a hell of a game going here.  This isn't what I was expecting.

I don't know if you jinx it or I did but there we have it..

[oriolediehard]

I am always nervous when Voth pitches.

Just not a lot of options that make you feel good out in that pen outside of Bautista and Perez.

Not been impressed with Gunnar at third so far this year.
