We are heading back to the Yard for the 4th time in 6 games, but this is the one I am looking forward to.  Shohei vs. GRod.  We are up close on the 3rd base side, so should be able to watch them go at it.  Hopefully Grayson brings the A game.

I'll be there tonight. I was there yesterday.

 

Hope we can score some runs but doesn't get any easier.


I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

Shohei is not going to make it easy, and the offense has been struggling the last week or so, but maybe the reverse lock shows up tonight.

Didn't we beat Ohtani when we snapped that 18 game losing streak or whatever the other year? No locks in baseball.

Ohtani will walk guys, and the O's are 3rd in MLB in BB%.  I think there will be some opportunities.  Just gotta find a way to convert them which has been a struggle lately.

Maybe this game will be the ultimate paradox and the Orioles will score 5 or 6 runs but realistically, they'll probably be lucky to get 2.  Rodriguez is going to have to be on his game tonight.

He's going to have to be better than that. Othani has a better than 3:1 K to BB ratio. His era is 2.73 and under 3 for his career. And his WHIP is less than 1. But since they have been offensive offensively the last week perhaps they are due to bust out.

I’ll be there

That's the crazy game of baseball.  On paper, it looks pretty hopeless but you just never know.  Ohtani is due for a poor start so maybe it will be tonight.

Ohtani can have 1 bad inning where hes not good at limiting runs. Realistically, you run his pitch count up so that he goes no more than 6. GRod understands he cant give up many runs tonight.

Ohtani is remarkable. 

 

Go rip him up.

Forgot it was a 6:30 start. Tuned in just in time for the inning ending K.

How does Santander swing at so many pitches that are never strikes out of a pitchers hand yet he has a solid walk rate. It completely baffles me

Only 2005 have we started 26-14 or better and missed the playoffs. Dont ever remind me how poor of a coach Mazzili was as a coach.

I highly doubt Santander cuts that one off.

Good to see Ortiz stay. I like that. Stowers was the one sent down for a pitcher. Gillaspe back up.
