Thursday afternoon August 3: new Oriole Jack Flaherty takes on old Oriole Kevin Gausman

[Billy F-Face3]

We are seeing alot if bottom dropping pitches (splitters/sinkers/etc) from Blue Jays pitchers.

[scbalt52]

I'm sure Gausman will be 'embarrassed' post-game again to get hit 'by a team like us'. Sorry old pal! He's lucky we didn't put more up on him.

[Winter]

all these baserunners and only 3 runs, hope it doesn't bite us

[86this]

Liking Mountcastle's approach of hitting the other way more.  Maybe he's finally realizing the OPACY LF wall isn't something to aim for.

[Gurgi]

Lot of hits....not many runs.  Oh well.  We will have to find a way to win this sucker with a shakey bullpen.

[NCRaven]

Even the batted balls that they didn't get hits on were stung by Mountcastle and Hays.

Hays JUST missed a game breaking gapper...cant believe Springer ran it down...

It's terrible when the players are honest isn't it?

No, but chasing him from a game after saying that is a good time.

And Gunnar glared back at him.  Jokingly I hope lol

I'm sure it's all good.  They talk about 5-tool players but I think the 6th tool is how their chemistry is with others.

They actually said, the other day, that he beats up on Toronto at Camden Yards too. 

He’s OPSing 1.037 w/15 HR going in to today v. Jays in 202ABs over 48 games (most against any team).

You cant run that far out of the baseline.  LOL

[FlaO'sFan]

Give it up. Mountcastle is the man now.

[ArtVanDelay]

Flaherty was teammates with Max Fried and Lucas Giolito in high school.  Imagine being a 16 year old and facing those guys in a 3 game series. 

[slakattack]

Flats is the man thus far!

I'm not arguing that.

Just saying, I'm in favor of truth bombs over platitudes.
