Eflin showing our guys what a shut down inning looks like.

Wow Holliday what a play

Maybe he is indeed a star in the making.

Knock it off with this not trying crap.   You've been spewing it for days.   It's garbage.

Teams that aren't hitting look lie they aren't trying, that's the nature of baseball.   But why wouldn't they be trying to hit?   Their future contracts depend on it.

 No dumber opinion exists in sports than a team that is struggling means they aren’t trying…that they don’t care.

Last night the O's got a lead and Kremer and the defense melted down. Today they get a lead and they're back at bat in six pitches. Thanks to Eflin and Holliday.

Urias was pulled from the game. You wonder if he will be back tomorrow.

You use the term "was pulled".   That implies that circumstances caused it, and that he was scheduled/planned to play the whole game.   Do you know that for sure?   Just hopeful that maybe they wanted to ease him in, not play too many innings in the field or something.

[Moose Milligan]

Glad to see Holliday doing good things, finally.

I genuinely love how in baseball one good inning can inspire hope after weeks of despair.

It’s all about little things that add up to big things to help build up your confidence. Holliday is about to see less playing time but building confidence is important.

I don’t know..I just know he didn’t play the whole game and was pulled from the game. Westburg is still playing and just got a hit.

It’s possible they are easing Urias in because he had an ankle issue…or maybe they just wanted him down for one game. 
 

My guess is he plays again tomorrow and is brought up for Saturdays game…Westburg is back for NY series.

That 5th inning wasn’t good for hitters

[tntoriole]

Their strike zone recognition is just awful

Can Oriole pitching get 12 outs before they give up a run?

Let's not knee-jerk in either direction.
