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

[SteveA]

Ober has gone over 90 pitches in 6 of 13 starts.
Over 96 just one time.

So he is most likely in his last dozen pitches of the game here.

Man, just keep O'Hearn in the lineup for as long as this lasts.  What great hitting that was to find that hole through the left. 

(Against LHP at least.) People have been saying that O'Hearn's swing reminds them of Chris Davis, but that was something Chris wouldn't do.

And it pays off now with a run on Cedric's sac fly.

Way to run that out Westy!  It took that double clutch but still wouldn't have been enough without that hustle!

ABsolutely awful call on Cowser

[Moose Milligan]

Lego building competition! Somewhere @Tony-OHis having a stroke.

Ohhhh Din Djarin and his gorgeous ship!  I didn't know about Cowser and this, I think I remember the Millennium Falcon Lego thing tho

[tntoriole]

All we gotta do is shutout

I don't know if I've seen a ball that high called a strike. Ever.

Yep. Ump has given Ober a big strike zone.

Urias hits like Mateo, both are automatic outs.

Urias is definitely going through a rough patch at the plate right now but as of last night's game his 2023 wRC+ is 101 or league average, Mateo's is 66.  They're both frustrating at the moment, but not even remotely similar otherwise.

That’s nice but it’s not like their bullpen is some treat.

Sure would be nice if I could be watching this.

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

We have all these instructors, batting coaches … 3 weeks intense instruction..

Streaming on, ahem, other sites.

With a win tonight, the Orioles would cut the Rays division lead to 3 for the first time since May 30th.
