Friday, July 14: O's look to overcome City Connect jinx in post-ASG opener with surprising Marlins

Disturbed by his "loss of rhythm" they kept mentioning, but Kremer came back pretty nicely to finish off that inning with just 1 run given up. 

[Roy Firestone]

I thought Kremer was lucky in that inning...and he was pretty awful, though the deflected ball might have been a double play..

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

That was the most stressful half inning I've watched in awhile. Kremer very lucky that inning didn't go off the rails.

Devo seems pretty nervous. Hasn't done much but agree with and repeat everything McDonald is saying.

Well he minimized the damage but the pitch count has been driven up.

He averages 5.44 innings per start.   We'll probably get 5 or 6 out of him tonight, as usual.  We have a well rested pen.

They showed a guy in the stands holding his kid.   The guy had a T-shirt that had the French motto on it.   "Liberte, egliate, fraternitie".

Today is Bastille Day.

Someone is celebrating Bastille Day by going to an Oriole game.   

Go figure.

I noticed the shirt but had forgotten about Bastille Day.  Thanks for the clarification, was wondering what his French connection was!

Those ADT patches on the Marlins jerseys are awesome. I can’t wait to see what jerkoff company gets their logo on the Orioles sleeve when the time comes. 

One of the things I actually respect the Angelos family for, is actually keeping Oriole Park at Candem Yards named Oriole Park and not selling out the name.  I appreciate that.

I've always thought they should have just named it Camden Yards.

Saw a tweet that Zach Hample is camping out on the flag court.

I like to avoid our weak middle relief if possible.

I bet he will be back for the Yankees series.

O’Hearn looks like the one dude who isn’t flat and uninspired. 

[SteveA]

And on TV#2, the Diamondbacks get a game tying HR in the 7th vs the fighting Cito's.  Go Snakes!

So Alcantara sits 98-99

He's a man who knows his time is now or never. It might be his only opportunity with so many players nipping on his heels.
