Monday, July 24: Orioles visit the Phillies

[Billy F-Face3]

Looks like there's alot of Orioles Hangout fans skipping the game thread today. It doesn't seem as busy as it usually is, or was over the weekend.

They'll be here en masse if the Phillies take the lead.

McCann laughs at the lineup haters… bahaha 

[Gurgi]

McCann!  For a nice little single.   

[Mooreisbetter27]

Yikes….

[Dibbs31]

Should have sac'd there with Mateo

[Billy F-Face3]

Jorge out machine Mateo: 2 pitches, 2 outs. 

[Malike]

Mateo not even running balls out now? 

[Gurgi]

Mateo is going to see less and less chances.  Soon he will be just a pinch runner when we need a steal to tie or win a game.

[Mooreisbetter27]

I haven’t been one that has been yelling for Mateo to go… but… I think we re getting close to that now. What good is speed if you’re not on base

[Malike]

Junk-balling LHP always suck.

[Billy F-Face3]

A shame that McCann's nice base hit went to waste there.

105.8mph EV, .440 xBA. Won't fault Mateo for that one.

I thought the exact same thing. Fastest guy on the team and they took their time to turn it and still got him by a few steps.

I'd fault him for not running hard.
