Thursday September 21: Orioles vs Guardians, nationally televised on Fox

[Billy F-Face3]

Need to put together more than 1 extra base hit in an inning. Get 3 straight outs in the field and then come back, talk to your hitting coaches, and try again.

[Roy Firestone]

just a brutal performance tonight with the bats...and it began with a 7 pitch first inning when we swung at everything...this team really needs some power hitting...and more patience at the plate too...Cleveland showed us what foul balls and patience can do...

Yeah that was outside.

Close enough to foul off…see Westburg at bat.  I haven’t looked up this stat, but his strikeouts seem to have an inordinate number of looking at third strikes and I wonder what his pitches seen per at bat looks like 

[O's84]

The offense hasn't scored a run in 14 innings.

[TopGunnar]

Tony should take notes on how Jose Ramirez approaches his at bats.

So disappointing. We are still in the driver's seat for the division even if we lose the game, but I feel like we need the stupid Jays to win a few against Tampa. Not sure we will get 5 of 9 even against bad teams. See the StL series though we have dominated bad teams generally speaking.

You'd rather have Ramirez over Henderson?

No I’d rather have Henderson because he’s 21.

DL Hall is a great athlete.

Santander has more double digit pitch at bats than anyone on the team, I would bet.   He has them quite often.

Nice play Westy.

Where was Cleveland this whole year???

[SteveA]

Nice inning Hall!   Wonder if he can go another?

[Uli2001]

Perhaps DL Hall should have started the fifth...

Picked by most to win the division.   Big disappointment.   Starting pitching injuries, low scoring offense.

[Billy F-Face3]

3 up, 3 down. Nice job DL Hall. 

I still believe in DL Hall. I think he has more potential in the future than some realize.
