Orioles and Rays are the only two major league teams that have not been swept in a series this year.

Orioles have gone longer than any MLB team since last being swept -- early May 2022, before Adley was called up.

Holy cow Mullins.

On the downside that ball was crushed off Irvin

Anyone with Peacock -- is Cedric's catch as sensational as it sounded on the radio???

Yes. Looks like he caught it off the wall

[FlaO'sFan]

It feels good to be on the good side of a great defensive play.

It was pretty ridiculous. Back handed full speed against the wall in right center and he was shaded left center on the play.

Hays robbed Buxton yesterday, now Cedric today.

And in typical Irvin fashion.. bases loaded even after the great Mullins catch

[Hank Scorpio]

Brutal starting pitching.

[Just Regular]

This is kind of an inning illustrating why I don't believe "Grayson needs to command his pitches" is an important test for his usefulness.

Cole Irvin commands his pitches, but they are awfully vulnerable.     Does Bryan Baker command his pitches?    Felix Bautista?

[dtk9119]

Irvin gets out of it

This couldn't be more of an unfavorable SP pitching match up for the orioles today

None of those four pitchers is remotely like the other. All different scenarios.

[Gurgi]

Love the way Gunnar looks at two pitches over the plate and swings at the slop pitch for strike three.  After the second pitch I was screaming at my wife now he is gonna throw him garbage and he will swing.  And he did.  Arghhh.   

My nerves are not strong for todays game.

Gray is so much better than Irvin it is a complete joke
