[O's84]

1. Mullins gift gets on, CS 

2. Westburg BB

3. O'Hearn 3-0 check swing ground FC

4. Frazier HBP

5. Hays K's.

Really bad not to score there.

Is this another Orioles Classic from the 2020 season? You know, a season chock full of classic moments.

Nah, the runner has to be able to steal that with that jump and lead. I think he slipped or something.

Or maybe he's just coming off an injury that reduces his speed. My point is that when a pitcher is having trouble throwing strikes, you shouldn't bail him out the way the Orioles did.

From Gameday:

Adam Frazier remains in the game as the second baseman.

 

Ryan O'Hearn remains in the game as the first baseman.

 

Defensive switch from second base to third base for Jordan Westburg.

 

Cedric Mullins remains in the game as the center fielder.

 

Defensive switch from center field to right field for Aaron Hicks.

 

Defensive switch from third base to shortstop for Gunnar Henderson.

Sounds like my weekends managing a youth team.

Agree a SB attempt there is questionable.  Especially with a lame runner and wild pitcher.

That was a very frustrating inning. Cedric getting thrown out at 2nd. Ohearn swinging 3-0. Then Hays second strike was just atrocious. 
 

Still just 2 hits, both from our 2 day old rookie.

Gotta tip the cap to Abbott. He was great and we suck against lefties. I am not sure why anyone is surprised. 
 

That inning against Sims is a whole different enchilada though.

I think you'd need to add some Aidens.

Let's see where they play Westburg with this new defensive alignment. Mateo and Urias are out of the game. Frazier is in. 

Frazier to 2nd, Gunnar to SS, Westburg to 3B, O'Hearn to 1B.

Who is this yahoo behind the plate? Angel Hernandez would be better.

Merzel.

umpscorecard.com ranks him as the 58th most accurate umpire (out of 90).   So below average but not rock bottom.

They are playing the same game as last weather delay.  Hahaha

And the one before that. MASN is an absolute bush league operation.

Crazy an intern couldn’t have simply pushed another button.
