Saturday Afternoon May 20: Orioles at Blue Jays

[Hank Scorpio]

Let’s go kid!!!!!

[Moshagge3]

Need some bottom of the order magic.

[Alasdaire]

Beautiful location on some of these fastballs.

[Dunk35]

Grayson's "stuff" looks better today. He is still struggling with command. But his fastball hasn't been down the middle as much. Still very pitch inefficient.

What happened on that play?  Belt was on third, Chapman on second.. Gameday totally screwed the call

I have been to exactly one MLB game in Toronto. On FRiday night, October 29, 1989, in what was then the brand-new SkyDome, I was among the 49,636 on hand for the opener of the three-game series between the Jays and the young "Why Not"  Orioles that would decide the NL East winner. Usually when I watch an Oriole game at the Rogers Centre, I can't help thinking once or twice about Gregg Olson's eighth-inning wild pitch that wiped out the Orioles' 1-0 lead. The BJs won in 11 innings.

Listening to Olson call this game is a little weird for me. I tuned in late -- second inning. Was there any discussion about the '89 season-ending series before then? If so, I'm glad I missed it.

I've always blamed Jamie Quirk as much as Olson.

It was Belt's bag and both he and Chapman were standing on it. Adley tagged Chapman and they initially sent Belt to the dugout.

Hyde's decision to stack the lineup with as many lefties as possible vs Manoah is paying off.   Lefty hitters are 5/13, righties 0/3.

Danny Jansen reaches on a fielder's choice out, pitcher Grayson Rodriguez to third baseman Gunnar Henderson to catcher Adley Rutschman. Matt Chapman out at 3rd. Danny Jansen to 2nd. 

2 outs

Mateo is TERRIBLE! Yeeeesh

[Mooreisbetter27]

Feel like there’s no way Manoah should be down only 2-0 and only through 66 pitches right now.

Thanks! 

[Hank Scorpio]

Have we seen enough of Mateo yet?

Belt got hung up in a rundown to the plate, Adley chased him back to third and Chapman was also standing on third.

And again. That’s not a strike.
