Neither of those, either.

I have no personal gripe with the Ravens, but their arrival 100% knocked the Orioles out as the city’s true sports love. Just what football does.

I ‘ ve been a Baltimore sports fan since 1953, and football has always been first. Maybe because the colts got good first, but they were always ahead of the Os in fan interest and support. Even in the glory years of 1966 to 1983, the Os were drawing  at most 1.5 M per. Memorial stadium was always packed for football. Os attendance and interest really shot up when the colts left town.  Baltimore was a blue collar,  football kind of town.

Could have been strike 3.  But you shouldn't be getting in that situation with Kiner-Falefa.

Darth Bader.

Win tomorrow and 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

It's like Judge coming back revitalized this whole team. LeMahieu has sucked all year, he sees ten pitches and then rifles one. IKF of all people spitting on a pitch that missed the strike zone by a millimeter.

Why didn’t he go to 3rd?  Thanks. I know 2 out but still. 

[Hank Scorpio]

This is why I could never be a pitching coach. I would be apoplectic after he walked Kiner Falefa. 

Can’t expect good things to happen when you do that BS.

[Malike]

Cowser almost misplayed that ball. Please hide him in a COF spot. Please.

It was bad pitching. They didn’t score last night. Wells had nothing.

Because he’s slow haha… I guess.

They didn't seem revitalized yesterday. Come on, you are basing this off half a game.

Not a great runner, already in scoring position… just not worth it.
