Thursday, September 14: the Showdown with the Rays for the AL East begins... 7:15 pm on Fox TV

Now you see why O'Hearn is a platoon guy. If he had 500 ABs this year he'd have a .730 OPS.

[Dunk35]

This lineup is certainly vulnerable to lefties. 

[TopGunnar]

Geez.

In that situation AR was in, the hitter needs to be in "upper-cut" mode, to get a sac-fly at least. Not trying to hit the ball on the nose and rollover to the infield. Lack of experience or selfishness, not sure.

Adley's swing is always an uppercut from the left side.

 

It was a cutter, the ball ran in and caused him to roll over it just enough to ground it to first.

I'm talking about Arozarena grounding out to 3B. The first out of the inning.

Oh. I was talking about the 3rd out pop fly. No worries. 

[eddie83]

Coulombe up.  I think. 

[Moshagge3]

And that's just their sixth inning guy. LOL. Meanwhile the Rays might get to take swings against Bryan Baker.

Poche is really tough. Mountcastle for O'Hearn?

RMC probably not available. I was thinking Urias but might be too early.

Poche for TB. 

The Gunnar-Santander-O'Hearn sequence.    Imagine we'll see Diekman there next time through and all throughout the series.

[baltfan]

Wish Poche had signed with the Orioles when they drafted him.

Poche just chewed us up

Poche should be done after this one inning. Had 59 appearances coming into this game with 53.1 innings pitched.

He's been pretty hittable lately. Not getting great break on his money pitches. Should be fun to see what he can do.

[eddie83]

Yes. Danny is up. 
 

RHP up for TB. Not sure who.

No chance he would still be here though.

I may be misremembering, I thought it was to 1B. Point being it was crushed.

It was hit well.
