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

I doubt anyone really wanted to play in the rain lol. The Royals definitely had a better approach for most of the game in a battle of (potentially) #1's.

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.

I'll take it considering no Bradish or Means for the time being in the starting rotation.

Hitting slumps often appear like "not trying".   But they aren't.

Baseball is hard.

I always wonder what my neighbors think when I start yelling with glee, games like this!

The fans who stayed 5 hours in the rain deserve a win today.  Let's do it!

That first inning fan chant was on a level!

How do you watch the games? Stream? I know you said you were behind.

Obviously that is a game that we had no business winning but counts all the same in season’s end.

What a come back!!!

Ok. Sounds like you definitely have a delay. 
 

I know radio is well ahead of TV.

They all have players behind them trying to take their job.  I don’t think weather plays any part in their drive to do their best every single game.  Some times you have to tip your cap to a guy shoving (Ragans).

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? 

Ragans was as advertised.  Just like their bullpen lol.

Shades of 2023 in that one.  Great finish!  

Norfolk hitters looking good tonight too!

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

Cano brought his A game tonight and it was good to see. If Kimbrel's velocity doesn't get back the mid 90's there's a chance we will be seeing Cano close out some games.

Truth. Ragans was extremely impressive, even if it was driving me nuts!
