[Moose Milligan]

Can’t wait to see Hays lead off with a 2 pitch at bat. Gonna be great.

The 3 games in Houston next week are really worrying me too. Even if we somehow split w the Rays, they get the Angels while we play the Astros 

I'd be thrilled with a split with the Rays this weekend. That means they gain no ground but get closer to the end of the season.

I will be honest I have kind of had "imposter syndrome" with the Orioles all year.  We some how are way better than the parts would seem.  We dont have any massively elite hitters like a Murray.  I panic they somehow are on some miracle run but the wheels could come off anytime.

Fujinami looked GREAT!! 4-seam, sinker, sweeper all humming and commanded.

I can assure you that isn't the case. 

You don’t think they have the pitching machines emulating pitchers?  You know the series is coming, you wouldn’t prepare a bit ahead of time?

[Tony-OH]

Well at least this guy throws hard. Maybe the Orioles have a chance.

Why is Adley constantly falling to one knee? His timing is off....and the rest of our guys too...

I mean, I hate to say it, but he just doesn't look all that great.  Super kid and leader, but not some awesome player right now.  Pray he gets better.

[eddie83]

Stop trying to yank the ball.

Not with this approach.  It's horrible.

They are absolutely not looking past this game and training for the Rays. 0 chance in hell.

He is a great leader and his teammates like him.  But elite athlete?

 

No.

He DID kick a 63 yard field goal in high school.

[Yossarian]

One of the worst bullpens in the league has shut us out through 7 innings

[Tony-OH]

Can't be upset with Hays there. Those were some tough ass slider and then 101 up and in? Sit down.
