7/5 Orioles begin their last series ever in Oakland

[Roy Firestone]

Mountcastle to me is expendable at the deadline...

[Moose Milligan]

Nice!

Shortstop tried to deke Gunnar into thinking he had the ball but Gunnar didn't fall for it.

[Aristotelian]

Looked like he was gonna be out. 

[Moose Milligan]

OMG Brown already drawing parallels between Gunnar Henderson on Rickey Henderson field. Dude, no one cares. 

[Yossarian]

Annoying things at the Coliseum:

There is always a guy hanging a drum

There is always a guy blowing a vuvuzela horn

Is it just me or does his bat look slower this year?  I always thought he had great bat speed but this year it looks slower.

He's in the 93rd percentile in bat speed. I think that's pretty good.

Anyone notice the "MASN" black screen right after a replay? I feel like I've never seen that until tonight.

20 pitch 1st, Roy!

Mountcastle OPS by month: .836, .754, .740. Looked like he might be on track for a career year but now he is just back to his averages.

They seem to have synched the sound a bit better now.   If there's a delay at all it's just a tiny fraction of a second now.

Seems like this is a recurring problem with MASN at the start of games.

It's OK, we knew the second he cooled down even a bit folks would come out swinging. 

I really don't know why folks here dislike him so much.  He seems like a nice guy.

I like stealing 3B when a LHP is on the mound.  Hard for them to see what you’re doing. 

[Frobby]

So much for that lead.
