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

[baltfan]

Is it only on my TV that the hit sound and the actual ball hitting the bat isn’t matching up?

At almost 29 years old, Wells is showing us he can't be counted on as a 200 inning guy. He is a first half pitcher who after hitting 100 innings has looked completely different. 

I think we may have a winner.

OHearn strikes again!!

While I am making no direct comparison stat-wise, I feel he's almost like a Steve Pearce styled pick up or the O's this year, reminding me how he contributed in those winning campaigns of '12 and '14. 

[O's84]

We just regain the lead and what does Baumann do? Walk the 1st batter on 4 pitches.

[Roy Firestone]

Leadoff walks KILL us...and we've had a lot lately....

[Emory Eagle]

Why are we spotting them a free baserunner every inning?

Sorry, I meant to say Rhino Hearn.

We can't depend on our bullpen before the 9th inning!

Guy plays a sport from the age of 10.  He knows how throw the ball over the plate.  How the heck they keep walking the lead off guy I do not know.   Even if they grove the ball great hitters get out 70% of the time.  Make them work to get on.  Free bases is the death of you. 

[tntoriole]

It is amazing to me how many so called big league pitchers cannot throw strikes. 

[O's84]

Ok scoreless inning.  Now listen to Roy, offense.

[Winter]

Well Baumann got it done 

[oriolediehard]

Good inning for Bauman!!! I hope he keeps it up.  If he is effective leave him in the game.

[Billy F-Face3]

Good job Big Mike.

Now we need a strategy to get through the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings. Baumann has done his job for today. Around 25 pitchers. He has the stamina to go longer but that would be tempting fare when you need pitching the next 3 days.

Let's go O-ffense!
