Monday, July 31: Orioles finish July in Canada

Stealing like that twice in a row is bad sports science. Only allowing ~30 seconds of rest after maximum effort isn't enough time to regenerate ATP sufficient for to do it again at the same intensity.

One out, that's the time to try.  

Not if you’re going to get thrown out by a mile

dont fault Mateo trying for third...but he got a bad jump...took us out of another inning this time...

Well if he got a bad jump...how is it not his fault?

I understand that, but he didn't get a good jump at all.  Plus you have Adley at the plate and Gunnar up next.

Bassitt is a glorified Kyle Gibson.  That contract might not be great for Toronto. 

It’s the pitcher we signed vs the pitcher we didn’t sign.

It hurts me to watch Colton Cowsers at bats. Good Lord son. Feel like he’s struck out his last 10 at bats

This series should be about getting Mountcastle to the plate as often as possible with men on.

He's hot and in Toronto.

It’s the thought that counts.

Mountcastle is the Toronto terminator.  When he sees the Jays on the schedule he goes into kill mode.

Nah.  Mountcastle sucks.  Don’t you know?
