I thought Saturday's game was a very significant win

[Roy Firestone]

Our new players had some clutch hits.Eloy, Austin,  Our pitching acquisition pitched very well. Eflin.The new bullpen arms were just ok. But the game also showed Holliday starting to become a force. He hit three balls really hard, one was a double, another a single . It's his second mult-hit game in as many days. Only 8 Orioles have had multi hit games at the age of 20 or younger. Brooks Robinson did it in 3 different years. I thought Mayo looked very good but had nothing to show for it. He definitely doesnt seem intimidated and has not been overmatched. I was also a big win because this team needed a lift and would need to avoid a possible sweep.They get Burnes up tomorrow, and while it's never a given, Burnes has been pitching brilliantly and if we can win tomorrow we get a hard earned split on the road. Not easy to do with the best team in baseball. I hope they can continue to have good at bats and support Burnes on Sunday. Im looking for a big game again from Holliday and Mayo. Cowser too. The team has great talent. Now it's got to show us that the talent can deliver . Big win today.

I liked it because they came back after two ugly losses and didn't seem to care about how badly they were beat...in addition to everything Roy mentioned.

!( was interesting to see that list of youngest O’s players with two multi -hit games. Three were pitchers.

I can’t stand that Fox announcing crew but otherwise solid game, no notes

Just the way Elias drew it up.

I actually thought Smoltz did a really good job last night, and I don’t usually like him.

Very impressive win. If Rogers can pitch like Eflin did, we can compete for the WS.

Yeah I thought the Fox announcers were fine. Some people just need to complain.

I like Smoltz. He's one of the few national guys that praises the Orioles.

Yeah Smoltz has been extremely complementary of the Orioles, even in the ALDS last year.

Need to back it up today though.
