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

[drdelaware]

That hopping Gausman does with runners on base really ought to be a balk.

Don't tease me Austin.

Called strike 3, AR came up firing on a steal attempt, then whoever caught it at 2nd looked like they tried to whip it home in case the runner was on their way.

So who do you think forgot the number of outs? The guy who threw home? I would think the catcher should make the throw before the ump makes the call.

Hays got one in

[Moshagge3]

Finally a Hays grounder that's not at somebody for a DP!

[slakattack]

Austin!  Yeah, baby, yeah....

[Dibbs31]

Fantastic ABs this inning

[NCRaven]

Proof that God exists and believes that Cito sucks.  Go Hays.

[dtk9119]

Yes Hays! Hit it where they ain't. 

Great ABs this inning 

[mrbig1]

Good job Hays.

[FlaO'sFan]

Good job, Austin.

I believe you can do whatever you want as long as you do it the same very time.

Hays finally gets a hit AND an RBI!

This ump is very slow to make calls. By the time he rung up the hitter the play was going.

Great at bat by Austin!

Now we won't have to hear Roy remind us yet again what  terrible slump he is in, at least not for a couple innings!

29 pitches so far.   Any time you get a guy > 30  in an inning you are putting some stress on his arm.
