I am pessimistic about our chances tonight, unless our offense can put up another double digit effort. Irvin was shaky during his late spring appearances, and I think Garcia, Witt, and Perez will have big games against him.

Marsh was 0-7 last season as a starter?  He is primed to throw 8 scoreless innings against the O's tonight   That's always how it works.

Haha. Maybe they don't have a lic of Kemp yet. Lol

Irvin has a very nice breaking ball working on the inside of right handed batters.

Spring stats don't matter.

[Billy F-Face3]

Dang just missed that ball 1. Could have been called a strike by a lesser umpire

[Billy F-Face3]

Nice outside get.

[Billy F-Face3]

Positioning of the 2nd baseman cost us on that

Irvin getting tagged early

[Natty]

Let's get the bullpen going.

[Dunk35]

Elias has to see that Cole Irvin cant be counted on this year. Right?

[Can_of_corn]

I hear that defense matters and then I see lines like this on MLB.com.
