Wednesday afternoon July 19: Orioles try to avoid first sweep in 14+ months vs Dodgers

[Just Regular]

Coulombe indeed up in the 5th inning, though you also have to wonder what the Eve of Rays series usage protocol is for the big guns this afternoon.

Even against a non-Dodgers opponent, this feels like a game the Relief Aces would have a big job.

Need to raise the wall in center

Or get better starting pitchers who stop giving up so many?

Probably push it back twenty five feet....and take out the flag court and back the wall to the Iron fence on Eutaw street.

And Kremer's day is done. Can't even get through 5.

[Moose Milligan]

Kremer's reverse s*** sandwich.  Starts off terrible, has a good middle, ends terrible.

This team seems just impossible to hold down. Door left open a tiny crack and like that the lead is cut in half.

That is at least the second homer on a ball outside.  Yesterday Heyward did the same thing. 

[O's84]

Kremer has nothing, he's done.  As much as you want to praise Kremer for settling down after the 1st, he couldn't make it through 5IP and has allowed 5 runs.

Makes me think they know they aren’t coming inside. Granted the point of a change up is not to leave it up. 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

This is not looking so good and I don't trust the bullpen outside of Cano and Bautista. Above anything else, I want Elias to get another plus bullpen arm by the trade deadline.

Hopefully the offense isn't done scoring yet seven runs isn't looking like enough to lockdown this win.

Kind of reminds me of the home Rangers series where it just seemed impossible to keep them off the scoreboard for more than a couple consecutive innings. We did manage to steal one that weekend, hopefully we can here also. 

[eddie83]

Unreal. 

[eddie83]

Taylor hitting. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

We really need to trade for 2 good relievers.  Our starters got destroyed by the Dodgers.  

[Gurgi]

Wow this inning went to hell fast.  We ever gonna get a damn out?
