Bradish better go deep if that’s all we’ve got available in the ‘pen.

Unless they become available just because there’s an off day, or we get a blowout and let a position player pitch.

I think if Bradish were to be knocked out early, for some reason, we might go with Flaherty.   He is on 4 days rest after starting Tuesday.   WIth a 6 man rotation and off days you usually have a starter who is rested and isn't scheduled to go tomorrow that you can use.

We better win today with the Blowjays coming to town.

Adley again.

Mounty at it again.

Good start so far, Sears looks hittable right now so let’s get some runs out of it before he settles down.

Bases full one out.

1-0 O's. Cool.

Well I know which Urias brother I want up with the bases loaded!

[SilverRocket]

Let's go O's

[Chavez Ravine]

That was fortunate

You have to win these games, take advantage of errors.

But relying on mistakes to get ahead is a dangerous game, and doesn’t bode well going up against teams like LAD, TEX, ATL, even SEA or TOR. 

Okay, that’s my downer post for this game’s thread.

One run. Not good.
