if Wells had been knocked out early , it would have been Akin.   But we are already tot he point that Wells probably won't be knocked out early.   So yeah, I would guess Baumann, unless it comes at a point where some lefties are due and then we might see Perez first.

But I still hope we can get 6 out of Wells.

That quick inning just now by Tyler Wells was huge. Might get 5 or 6 after all.

I've been watching while speeding through any downtime to catch up to live - damn, this game is moving fast, can't catch up!

[O's84]

Urias is too slow.

[allquixotic]

I'm glad they didn't send Urias there. He would have been out by 90 feet. lol.

[Dunk35]

Well. Poop. 

[allquixotic]

Frazier took on a bad sweeper, then got fooled and swung and missed on a better sweeper.

[Dunk35]

Lotta empty ABs in this lineup. 

[justD]

Sheesh.  Making another young pitcher look like Cy Young. 

[Billy F-Face3]

That guy's sweeper seems to be guving Orioles hitters some problems.

I may be wrong, but I think few if any of those sweepers to lefties have been strikes. Mullins has figured out not to swing at them. Frazier hasn't, slightly surprising to me.

The games go by quick as a wink now. Especially with the early starts, they're done so much earlier than I expect.

[Moose Milligan]

Hope that balk doesn't come back to hurt him.  

Wells needs to buckle down and get out of this inning.  Our offense looks flat, again.

[dtk9119]

Here we go. Crapfest offense and Wells can't hold them down forever.

[Dunk35]

Thats probably all they need. Our offense is crap.

I've been saying since last season that the Sweeper looks like it doesn't have a huge amount of staying power as a pitch.

In a couple of years won't be hardly anyone throwing one.

It was just a good metagame choice last season.
