Friday night is on AppleTV+ (exclusive, so it won't be on MLBTV).

Thursday night is nationally televised on FoxTV (not exclusive, so it will be on MLBTV plus the vast majority of people in the country can get a Fox station over the airwaves with an antenna).

Well that's brilliant.  They're doing the Adam Jones retirement night on Friday and it won't even be on MASN?  What the hell.

How do the Rays keep winning when they lost their top 3 starters for the year? 

They're experts at finding/building good pitching wherever they need to. They also have an excellent offense this year, 2nd in the AL in OPS and tied for 1st in HRs. 

But yeah, it's impressive and frustrating how they've been able to keep pace despite losing McClanahan and Franco in recent weeks, on top of the early season rotation injuries. 

I just noticed they've trained former Oriole Shawn Armstrong to a 0.81 ERA this year in 44.2 innings.

Maybe the ceremony will be on MASN.  I hope so.   I’d definitely record it and watch when I have the time.

Even more of a feat than what we've done with Cano.

Jose Siri suffered a fractured hand on a HBP in tonight’s game. Isaac Parades was just hurt on a HBP a couple games ago as well, his injury doesn’t seem to be as serious.

Is anyone setting odds for whether Kevin Brown mentions that the O's have struggled beating the Rays in recent years during this series?

[Billy F-Face3]

Looking at the series, I think Bradish starts Thursday, then Grayson Rodriguez on Friday, then Kremer on Saturday, and Sunday is a toss up between one of the rest who they feel gives them the best chance for that game. None of this is confirmed. Just me speculating.

Twins banged him around for 4R and 2HR. Hope we can do the same and Grayson bounces back.

The Orioles had better win the first game. It's the best pitching matchup all series, with Bradish pitching, followed by game 3, with GRod pitching. Flaherty and Kramer pitch the other two (shudder).

Going to that game. Excited.

Funny how the math works out  when you are the Chasee rather than the  Chaser.   Assuming they win tonight, if they lose 3 of 4 to Tampa  they will  still be 2 games ahead  on the lost side.   A good position to be in and shows just how hard it is to  catch a good team  or any team for that matter  when it looks like a small lead.

And own the tie breaker!

I am more than OK with a split in this series.
