Wednesday, July 26: rubber match in Philly, slightly earlier than normal start

[Gurgi]

Warning track power.   It would of been sweet if he had hit it out.  But that would of just meant the Orioles would give up another couple runs this half inning to give it back.  So this way is better I guess.  Less emotional distress.

Who hurt you?

Nobody, why? Because I dare disagree?

Westburg nearly had a homerun in each of these 3 games. But he was a couple feet off on 2 of those, so only 1 counted.

is that fence in play?  That ball by Westburg is normally a home run according to most park's ground rules.

I’ll say this their set up is awful. Hard to tell top of fence. I still can’t tell.

Of course that happens.  Just everything factor of baseball goes against us the last 2 games.

I call that evening out. The Orioles have had a lot of luck. Still, this should have been at least a series win if Bautista had pitched yesterday as he should have.

Nah, sorry I'm not jumping on the hive mind bandwagon with you, F-Face.

Glad McKenna was out there and not Hicks on that play.  Hicks would of run real hard almost caught the ball and fall over and hurt himself.  McKenna actually caught it.

Crazy that Bradish has given up 4 runs and he has thrown so little that he could theoretically go 2 more innings.

[O's84]

Still just 1 run, we've seen this team comeback from worse.

Keep him out there.  I am sure there is a relief guy that Hyde wants to get some time off to.  

[Fiver6565]

Well this is why I am not ML manager. Bradish bounced back impressively and probably starts the seventh now.
