Does Mateo not have any options?  I don't understand how the O's can send Stowers, Vavra, and others down when they aren't hitting but continue to play Mateo while he is struggling. 

He and Urias are both out of options.

Mountain is in. He who lives by the fastball shall die by the fastball.

Except for that splitter he hung to Judge lol.

Good, a quick out from Felix.   He could finish with a low pitch count.

Cano threw 19.   He has come back the day after throwing 19 or more twice this year, so he MIGHT be available tomorrow.  If Felix can have a reasonably low pitch count 9th, we might have both of them available going for the sweep tomorrow.

Gunnar, Adley, and Tony due up.

I should ask you the same question. I assume you are an adult and all you do is beat a dead horse. You don't find that exhausting? Trust me, many people do.

Ahh the beating of the horse about the beating of horses.

So meta.

Big Mountain!!!

Feels like it would make a real difference if we had a 7th inning guy. Might make it so that Cano doesn’t have to come in until 8th and Felix until 9th, fewer of these multi-inning asks.

Lets score a few more here

Imagine hanging out in the game thread all night just to tell everyone how you're a better member of the board than them. Seem like a fun guy.

I'm not doing anything of the sort, you do set a low bar, though, so in direct comparison, I suppose I'll concede.

If the Orioles had a left-handed hitting SS in the system, it would make some sense to bring them up.  They don’t though. 

Gunnar can play SS right now and Urias can hit RHP.

I hope we can get one at trade deadline.

[Jagwar]

Another run here would be awesome

[Billy F-Face3]

Gunnar is still trying to get used to Bug League talent left handed pitching.

Good thing they did not have social media in the seventies when the O's had an infielder that averaged playing 150 games per season .When he retired his career batting average was .228 ....But he DID win 8 Gold Gloves .....His name ? .....Mark Belanger .Does Mateo remind Orioles owners of Belanger .....Doubt it .
