7/6 Game two versus Oakland

[O-The-Memories]

I'm not trying to be rude by asking this, but how can some people be so upset when we will be leading our division by two games after this? It's one game. We will right the ship soon. I have concerns about the pitching too, but we are having a great season, and I can't imagine that we stay put at the deadline. Now if that happens, I will be upset, but the AL doesn't have a juggernaut team that we should be afraid of.

I would NOT start Povich vs NYY. Hopefully they will juggle this rotation so Grod and Burnes pitch.

Burnes can pitch only if he goes Tuesday.

I'm fine with the team, but burning out this bullpen is what concerns me. They need to get through the next 8 days until the all star break. I'm hoping by the 31st we see Elias acquire a couple pitchers.

I haven’t seen anyone that upset. Upset with Povich yes. Upset with leaving bases loaded yes. Upset with the team no.

Oakland broadcaster (Dallas Braden) just said Medina threw an Ephus to Schuemann to start the double-play (39 mph).  Also described it as a shot-put and a practice through for when he is tossing the ball to a fan.  How does Adley get doubled up on that?

Good fact check. So 50% of the time he has no clue whether the baseball is going into the stands or into a competitive part of the strike zone. The other 50% of the time, he’s a pitcher.

That was pretty close to the pattern for most of his career in the minors.

We need two touchdowns.

I would have guessed 2018 Tillman, not 2014.

We are going to need at least one from the defense or special teams,  because the offense ain't doing it.

I guess technically with the off day he'd be on regular rest Tuesday. But knowing Hyde, he'll keep everyone on regular turn. Kremer Burnes Suarez  vs CHC and Povich Grod Kremer vs NYY

Always possible they send down Povich after next start and get another pen arm up for Yanks series.

That wouldn't surprise me. I think a roster move is coming by Tuesday, but I'd rather see Tate get optioned first.

2018 Tillman was one of the sadder things I have witness on a baseball field.

Was just insane they even gave him a contract after 2017.

Yes but this doesn't include Dylan Bundy's start against KC where he gave up 7 runs and didn't record an out. Arguably the worst start in Orioles history.
