Thursday, August 24: Last scheduled game with Toronto, Orioles can bury Blue Jays and make it a 2 team race

[Billy F-Face3]

The Orioles have to realize that the Blue Jays are swinging early. Probably on 1st pitch every time.

O'Hearn crushed that ball to deep center and has nothing to show for it.

I thought it he just missed it, but Varsho kept backing up and up and then I thought it was gone.  Unfortunate.

OK MASN, do your job.

Send a guy with a camera out to Eutaw St to show us the chalk mark where the new plaque is gonna go.   Send Rob Long out there.

Is it time to start putting monuments on Eutaw Street like the Hollywood Walk of Fame?  Waiting for plaques on the warehouse wall is becoming a long wait. 

[Yossarian]

That was a high strike call

Statcast says it was 404 feet and 105 off the bat.  He got just about all of it.  If he lofted it another couple degrees it's out for sure.

Baseball is a game of inches.

And you don't think going 8-7 vs top level teams with top level pitching staffs is good?

Of course it is, but they talked about how good the staffs were and then said they won 2/3 of the games.  It was misleading and unnecessary.

Nice bounce back inning for Kyle

[Roy Firestone]

much, much better, Gibson....maybe he figured something out...hopefully he can go even deeper with the low pitch count...

[oriolediehard]

Alright Gibson.

O’Hearn hits a lot of balls that don’t travel quite as far as they look like they are going to off the bat.

lets get more on Berrios...we showed we can do it...

Will Hyde FINALLY let Bautista pitch two innings if needed today? Bueller?

[oriolediehard]

Lets get a rally going!

I bet he has pitched two innings more than any other closer this year.
