Hats off to Rasmussen, he’s been terrific. Tip of the cap. Truly.

Now that I got that out of the way, I’m going to be pretty pissed. So many terrible AB’s today, and such a hugely important game for a number of reasons.

I really don’t buy the big game-must win talk, but it feels like the team did.We have not even bruised him today.

Nice job by Akin

Brett Phillips will get a hit cause baseball.

Can’t ignore the tie breaker Mike. Otherwise, not a huge deal to win the season series. Winning this many against them after our recent history against Tampa is amazing enough of a turnaround as it is, and this team deserves a ton of credit for that. Just a bad day though, sucks.

79 pitches through 8? How is that possible in the modern game?

[Mike B]

Damn Mullins is good.  What a play.

Mateo breaks it up.

Well it saves that embarrassment.

He was 65 through 7. That's Greg Maddux-type efficiency.

and the shut out is gone too.

That is what I was thinking about too.

Still a tip of the hat to Rasmussen.

How many Sunday games has our team won? 5? 6?

[Slidemaster]

Sucks. Gotta do better.

[Mike in STL]

Never a probability anyway.

That was an incredible performance by Rasmussen. Tough one.

Go get 2/3 from Toronto. Don’t let the wheels come off. We miss Gausman.

The Orioles narrowly avoided franchise history. Since their 1954 inception they have never been involved in a perfect game, for or against. They've been in 13 no-hitters, 6 of them they threw.

Didn't Maddux once throw a complete game on something like 78 pitches? Guy was sick. Didn't even have overpowering stuff....fastball was only upper 80s in his prime.

The Trop has delivered many nightmares for the Orioles.  Mateo saved them from the worst.  I am glad it was a clean double.
