Friday, July 7: Orioles at Twins, televised exclusively by AppleTV+

[Bemorewins]

We just gave Ober the reprieve that he so desperately needed. Now he will probably pitch into the 7th and we will have to face their back end guys. Thankfully a few are hurt I believe.

One time this year, just once this year I would like to see Mateo bunt 

[Aristotelian]

Might there be any backup C options available at the deadline?

[SteveA]

Yankees lose 3-0.   They were 2-hit by ex-Yankee Taillon and a reliever.

Hope we broke them.

Man their offensive approach is really bad. How did they pummel us last Friday?

If you have ever seen him try you might change your mind.

Our 7th,8th and 9th hitters are all auto outs. Why isn't Rutschman not our DH?  These are the reason we can't score. Is Hyde conceding this game because we can't hit Ober???

[tntoriole]

Last two starts have been what I thought we were getting with Cole Irvin. Control guy, mixes pitches and speeds

I haven't seen this Ober guy pitch.  I'm only watching play by play on ESPN.  It doesn't look like he throws that hard.  What makes him so "unhittable"?

Success against the Orioles in 2 games. Pencil him into the HOF after 227 IP in his long and illustrious career at 28 years old.

[Moose Milligan]

Quite a duel.

Just tuned in now, to hear the Apple announcers talk about how the Orioles should trade their prospects for starting pitching. Ironic context: O's #5 Cole Irvin is throwing a 2-hit shutout through 5.

Rutschman needs a day off sometimes. He can’t play everyday. Would you rather that Hyde rest him the next 2 days against their other elite starters?
