This isn't true, thankfully.

Burnes threw 1 inning in the first game.  22 pitches.

Today he threw 1.2 innings.   38 pitches.

Excellent, thank you.  I couldn't find a pitch count on GameDay once he left the game

I don't really get why Roch doesn't live blog these games, he's obviously down there.  Seems like a missed opportunity for a few more eyeballs/clicks on his page.

Dang, in 10 pitches Skenes hit 102mph twice.

Holliday left on left grounds back to the pitcher.

Ben McDonald
Adley Rutschman
Tim Beckham
Kris Benson?

EDIT: Jackson Holliday is one of the spring training ones. Don't know who the other is.

Double EDIT: I looked up the other three. One I should have known, one I didn't know was a #1 draft pick. Also had no idea the guy whose son has played for us was ever almost traded to us.

Yes, those 4 plus Harold Baines, Delmon Young, and BJ Surhoff (edited).

The two that only wore an Oriole uniform in spring training are Jackson Holliday and Bob Horner.   At the end of his career Horner was a non-roster invitee to spring training and didn't make the team.

The one whose son played (and still plays) for the Orioles is Phil Nevin.

It must be pitcher experimentation day. Look at all these home runs and runs scored off of established pitchers. It's only the middle of the game.

I said Beckham. The one I missed is Surhoff. He's the one I should have known. Didn't know Baines went first overall.

Pittsburgh has taken the lead back after a few hits, including one from Termarr Johnson just now.

 

7-5 Pirates

Nice game for Kyle Stowers - 2-2 with a walk and a homer.  Really hope he makes the team, though I have no idea how that's going to work because I also want Cowser and Kjerstad.  LOL.

Starting outfield - Cowser in center, Stowers in left, Kjerstad in right.  What's the problem?
