Sunday afternoon July 23: O's go for Series win vs. the Rays

[dystopia]

That’s a huge win and a huge series

[Winter]

What a win and yes... Try to deal Mateo for cash considerations and bring up Ortiz. Not that i hate Mateo to the core its just time to move on if he's not giving you elite level defense.

If there is one inning to get with the existence of planet earth on the line give me the Mountain!!!!

[O's84]

The Mountain get it done! Big guy, take a rest for a few days to refresh yourself.  Other guys got to do the heavy lifting now.

What a game by our bullpen today.

I am very concerned that by the end of this year Felix's arm will be toast, and maybe Yennier's too.

But I guess if we've clinched the division by then and DL Hall takes over as closer in the postseason, we'll be good to go.

Of course this had to be stressful, even with Felix pitching.

Generally, games against the best teams in baseball are stressful when they matter. I fear for many of you if this team makes the playoffs if you can barely get through games in July.

Great win Os!  First place all alone and certainly in the drivers seat to win the division.  Loving it, so awesome!

3 of 4 in Tamper. Believe!

Bautista is awesome...they need to rest him for two days now...

We definitely need a big win tomorrow where we don't need him. It was really nice to sit him for two games for sure.

Can someone explain why this makes me so happy?

The handwringing in this thread every game is pretty wild. There’s never any chill.

Had no idea that Baumann's W/L record is that good: now 7-0.

I hate that Hyde doesn’t trust others in the pen. 

Who does trust other guys.  He has watched same games as us.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Same amount of wins at TB. 4 less losses.
