When Rom was with the O's, was he even in the top 5 of pitchers to call up for an emergency start?  It will suck if the Cardinals turn him into the MLB minimum version of Gibson.

He actually did get call up. They kept him in the bullpen for about a week or two but he didn't get to pitch.

Let's go Mateo we need a manufactured run right now

[OriolesMagic83]

Someone has stolen Mateo's identity.  Who is this guy who keeps walking?

[Uli2001]

Yes! Stolen base by Mateo.

[dtk9119]

Orioles look tired and out of synch offensively...

That's it in a nutshell.  Last year we tired out the last 2 weeks of September.

[OriolesMagic83]

At least Rom has grown a MLB veteran beard.

Hit the frigging ball Adley … swinging through this poor fastball 

[Uli2001]

Rutschman is really scuffling right now.

[Roy Firestone]

Dammit we look lousy again struggling pitchers...this not a  good omen...

The best way to avoid that is not have your team in a tight pennant race going down to the wire. Then everybody is relaxed.

Nah, the best way to avoid it is to realize that every team, good and bad are going to win some games they shouldn't and lose some games they should win.

The whole team is now.

3 strikeouts for Rom in his previous 2 starts combined and the O's can't figure him out.

Well, we should be world-beaters against the Rays then, their pitchers aren't struggling at all.
