Sucks that Ed Rod is going to throw a perfect game against us

Had forgotten that he had gone 19-6 over 203.33 innings for the Red Sox in 2019. Has four career postseason starts.

Well, by not sharp you mean through 4 without giving up a run.  Of course if you are expecting Palmer, McNally, Cuellar and Dobson....well, yea he could be sharper.

Do YOU think he looks sharp?

[mrbig1]

Ok, we suck.

This is the most unbalanced scoreless pitcher's duel I have ever seen.

But it's still scoreless.   The longer we can keep it that way, the more the game tilts in our favor (we have a 3.21 bullpen ERA, Detroit's is 4.56.   Despite our recent slump we average 5.30 runs per game, Detroit averages 3.11).

Mountcastle with another non-competitive AB. I so look forward to the day when he is down in the 5th or 6th spot in the lineup. He just does not have the ability to offer enough quality ABs to hit in the top 3.

I was going to report that Jim Palmer Quotable too, but I didn't think it was obliviousness on Brown's part - just going with the spirit of the day and being a straight man for his color guy.

For sure, but I don't think it was a valid question in *Palmer's* mind. I loved how he threw in that he was the best hitter on his team just in case we didn't know.

I saw some pitches from EROD that were right down the middle, so it is the O's hitting is bad not EROD is Cy Young.  GROD is doing his job so far.

[Aristotelian]

Uh oh, Akin warming. I don't like this move.

[Gurgi]

Nice K on the full count.

IMO the clock is ticking on his Orioles career.  This front office values OBP and .228 isn’t gonna cut it.  1B is a position that will need to be upgraded soon.

Good inning.

He'll get a 1-2-3 inning some day.

Finally.

[SteveA]

Good inning Grayson!

[Bemorewins]

Grayson can look so bad and sooo good in the same AB!

Once he figures out the fastball command and stop wasting non competitive pitches... WATCH OUT! 

[mrbig1]

He did it. 1-2-3 inning.
