First pitch Adley double!

Orioles are killing it on the first pitch this year.   No one should complain when they make an out on the 1st pitch because overall they are pounding the ball.

bUt ThE PiTCh CouNT!

SO what's Mountcastle's future here? Or how long? At some point he's probably going to be the odd man out for 1B/DH

[Natty]

5 pitches 3 hits.

Hays is really awful right now

[Alasdaire]

Mountcastle being this much of a destroyer in Toronto throughout his career and since he has come back up from his come-to-Jesus rehab assignment this year is proof to me that he could be so much better than he historically has been. Would be a huge boost if he locks in for the playoffs run and becomes the slugger he has always flashed.

[SteveA]

Thought that would be a DP but Henderson's speed got us a run.

[FlaO'sFan]

At least we got the second run in.

[ArtVanDelay]

Henderson with the wheels!

[O's84]

Henderson is so fast.  Can't believe Sprintspeed has Westburg faster.

[Moose Milligan]

Great start! Ryu is 10 pounds of **** in a 5 pound bag, keep it going!

[86this]

Thank goodness for Gunnar the runner.

2-0

He's only 26 years old. O'Hearn was the worst hitter in MLB for 4 years in a row and now he's Babe Ruth. Lots of things can and will happen.

Sure, if streaky hitter only hit good he'd be good hitter.

If Mateo could hit like early in the season all the time he'd be an MVP.

There’s a blonde waitress now?  That’s not fair.
