Saturday 6/22 vs. Houston

I think the strategy today is to get into their bullpen ASAP. But with that said, I've seen some pitches the Orioles have taken that should have been clobbered. Mountcastle didn't even try at a hanging curveball. And I think Santander took a straight meatball down the heart of the plate this last inning.

I was hoping for Burnes to go 6 good innings.

Blanco looks settled in.

He's also nearly at 70 pitches after 4.  We'll see their pen today if we can't solve him.

Hopefully Burnes doesn't give up anything else. We've been terrible against the bottom of their lineup this series

1 pitch, 1 out. Gotta love that for Corbin Burnes.

[dtk9119]

Nice 123 inning by Burnes and pitch count still really good.

[Billy F-Face3]

There was another meatball they didn't even swing at on strike 1

we gotta have some long at bats to try and get Blanco out of there..

[Roy Firestone]

we are getting Blanked from blanco...gotta work some counts...he'll go 7 at this rate...

That’s some analysis from Dave Johnson

Blanco is a guy where it's OK to swing on the 1st pitch. He's been throwing alot of 1st pitch strikes that are very hittable.

[dtk9119]

Horrible. Couldn't even work his pitch count up.

And now 77 through 5. He can go seven if the O's don't figure something out.

Best way to get Blanco out of the game is to start hitting him. He's been serving up t-balls on the 1st pitch from trying to get ahead on the count. The Orioles just gotta stop taking them and start hitting them.
