Not sure we deserved this one.  Oakland plays us tough

Might be the best we've seen Kimbrel.

Agree.

Kimbrel pitched great. A little concerned how putrid the offense has been recently overall especially with runners in scoring position.

Nice!  Happy birthday Austin Hays!

Kimbrel to the All Star game!

Yeah we did, the Orioles out-pitched them

I love wins when you don’t play well. Orioles usually play well 2-3 games.

I hope tomorrow is a day game.

 

It is. Povich vs Funky Cold Medina.

Two big ballparks in Seattle and Oakland taking the HR away, might be a factor.  Not entirely sure though.

It’s frustrating but good teams like us find ways to win regardless. We’ve gained 7.5 games on the Yankees in like 3 weeks not even playing “well”. Just makes me think back to the dark years when we’d probably have lost most of these last few games and be 31-45 right now. I can go to bed happy even if the kids wake me up in 6 hours.

Best part about it is Volpe didn’t even know and Boone didn’t even address it with him. 

What I don't get is even if Volpe didn't know about the particular situation he shd have been running all-out to home anyway.

The box score ERA is for the four Orioles pitchers last night was 2.48, 2.79, 2.97 and 2.16. This adds nothing to the conversation, but I thought it was sorta cool.

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

I noticed that at the beginning of the game too. Definitely looked odd. Thankfully they fixed that (and the sound syncing issue) relatively quickly.
