I think we can expect Hammel to be sharper today.

Can't wait until 5. The day is going to drag.

Get to CC early and put the pressure squarely on the Yankees hitters.

A 2-0 lead in the first would be huge.

Dammit! I dreamed, in a wild surprising move, that Girardi named Freddy Garcia his starter for tonight.

[Adam Wolff]

I obviously really, really want to win this, but I'm impressed with the Orioles regardless of what happens. The offense has been pretty bad, but they've been just as good as the Yankees this entire series.

Have to make CC work more than he did in the 1st game. I'm expecting a game much like the last 4..low scoring, runs will come at a premium. Let's come out on the right side of this one!

It is embarrassing that ESPN is using Herm Edwards to analyze the Yankees and Orioles. (Not to mention it's all NYY talk.)

What a joke of a sports network.

[BobPhelan]

I'm so ready for this game.

Hey Buck, can I speak to the team please?

Surprised to see Machado ahead of Reynolds, but recent "production" says that's probably not a bad move. I like Jones at #3 tonight against the lefty. Would be huge if he can come up with a big at bat in the first.

[BobPhelan]

Saunders and Gonzalez only pitchers not available today.

[BobPhelan]

Orioles are 14-5 in games following an extra inning game, 9-2 on the road. Per Roch.

Heck, at this point in might be huge if he can just have a good at bat in the first.
