4/3 vs. Royals

[Fiver6565]

More good news: Cano looked really really good in the top of the inning. We need him badly.

Well, if anyone arrived at noon for a game that ended at 8:40, I don't know that they got their money's worth, but that's a great win.

Nice start to the season.   4-2.  Two series wins.   36 runs scored in 6 games, ain't too shabby.  Mostly good starts by our starting pitchers, "good enough" bullpen work.   Defense... has not been so good.

Wow. You had that one queued up ready to go.

I mean, you replied to my comment, no?

Just finished a late night in the office, turned on the game, and immediately saw McCann stroke the single into right field. You're welcome, everyone, but sorry it took me a while to start watching.

Where the haters at now?  These guys aren’t trying and aren’t mentally in it.  GTFOH

Well everyone started to think they could do it when they took out Ragans. Plus, how in the heck is Will Smith considered a closer for anyone?

Yes.  I’m one of those guys that don’t question people’s desire to play/win when things are going poorly.  

They didn't look confident, and Hays and Urias still stunk. Nobody questioned "their desire". They did not look confident at all. They flipped it on, so yes we can give them credit.

Happened a lot to us when we were bad. Feel like we lost so many games we shoulda won.

Yep the Orioles would be beating the Red Sox or Yankees all game and then the ninth inning where the O's would often find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory during the dark years.

Cowser helped by not hitting into a DP.

He's been pretty good at walking this year.

Yes he has….

 

Glove has been real good as well. Nice start to season.

4-2 was where we probably were realistically hoping they would be after 6 games. I mean, it took two walkoffs to make it happen, and I'm pretty sure the Orioles never led a full inning over the last 4 games, but won two of them so I'll take it.

Plenty of people question their desire to be out there today.

That's most of the difference between 101-61 and 61-101. Winning the games you're supposed to win is going to happen even for the forgotten Oakland A's. Turning around a game when you're having an off night is the type of reversal that, if it happens consistently, sends you to the playoffs.
