Wednesday, September 13: O's face former farmhand Rom on the eve of the Showdown with Tampa

[Yossarian]

Would you pull Gibson or let him start the 7th?

[Billy F-Face3]

Kyle Gibson is giving us a chance to win by keeping us in this game!

We need Roy to give the command and wake up thy bats.

I picture @Can_of_corn being like that dude at the end of the Skyrizzi commercial. At some street fair and some performer hands him a tambourine and CoC is like, really, me? And the guy is like yeah, come on! And then CoC starts marching down the street with this band playing the tambourine and he’s having the time of his life.

Sit Rutschman. He needs a break. And why is he hitting lead-off anyway? A catcher/DH?

It  makes 0.000000000000000 sense.

 

CM should be batting leadoff all day and every day plus twice on Sunday.

I would.

A shame we are wasting Gibson's best start in weeks.

Comparing Drew Rom to Jamie Moyer is laughable. 

I don’t think a direct comparison to Jamie Moyer was made about Rom. But on the Ryan/Moyer spectrum you have to admit he’s closer to Moyer than Ryan.

If you think the Cardinals are so good, why are they in last place??? People have a right to be irrational and frustrated at their team!!!!! If you can't feel that way, then why follow sports at all?

I enjoy sports, but I don't enjoy anxiety. If you want to live your life anxious about every pitch that's fine, don't expect me to do that with you, you're on your own.

Coming in late here--Did Mountcastle get injured?

[OnlyOneOriole]

Wow.  A hit.

He’s being very un-Dude.

Rom pitch count is 90. Hopefully this is his last inning.

I hate to say this, but based on what I saw last night and tonight?  We may be in for a monumental collapse.

You act like this team hasn’t ever lost two straight.

Stu Miller was even junkier--and an All-Star twice, among other achievements.
