Tuesday, July 18: Orioles try to even series with Dodgers

[Yossarian]

How "Orioles" is this game?  Our ace is struggling and giving up runs and we get shut out by a no-name with an ERA of 7.  Still a lot of baseball to play, but this doesn't look good early.

Wells may be lucky to get through 5 tonight.

5? I hope he gets thru 2!!

[Moose Milligan]

This sucks. Not the start I was expecting tonight.

This series should be a reality check for people who think the O's are one blockbuster trade away from contention. The Dodgers could beat us in ten different ways.

They are not that good. The Braves will wipe the floor with them in October.

This is gonna be a turn the game off early kinda night. 

[Roy Firestone]

All I can say it looks like the Orioles decision to go so many days between his starts probably knocked him out of his rhythm. 

I'd have to agree with rhat assessment. Pitchers love to be in a set routine.

Freeman is carving us up. Have we gotten him out this series yet??

[Roy Firestone]

[Roy Firestone]

Do we EVER get Freeman out?

Stupid innings cap nonsense.

We know there is no evidence supporting it but let's do it anyway.

They have the track record to show they are that good even if the Braves are better. Would have to beat one of those two four times in seven games to win the WS. Not happening even if we traded for Ohtani. And that's after getting past Houston, who has the same pedigree. Throw in Tampa too. It ain't happening this year.

[Yossarian]

That sounded like it broke Freeman's bat
