Severe Thunderstorm warnings the next few hours in Baltimore. Could see a delay, but it looks like a good window to get the game in at about 8:30 or so. Of course, a lot could change between now and 7 and it could start on time, hopefully that is the case.

I'm always willing to bet unless it's really, really bad that they'll play and even moreso if it's a non-divisional opponent. My guess is if they do postpone it is that were looking at a twi-night (5 PM) doubleheader on Thursday.

Wieters batting 7th, that's the big news so to speak.

Jimenez must be pitching pretty well of late. His ERA was around 6 the last time I remember seeing it.

Buck says B Rob is supposed to play for Norfolk tomorrow.

As I was saying...

 

First pitch coming up.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Nice movement on the first two pitches from Zach.

[BSLChrisStoner]

On 1-2, gets Bourn looking.

[fishteacher]

Bourne is dead!

Really really liking how Britton's FB is moving!!!

[BSLChrisStoner]

Markakis able to run into the RCF gap (in the sun) and make the catch on the drive from Avilies.

[fishteacher]

Could use a very quick inning...that would be nice...gonna be a hot-assed week!

[BSLChrisStoner]

Off-speed pitch on 0-1 to Kipnis was awful nice.  However, he his hit on the following pitch. 1 on, 2out.

[fishteacher]

Take THAT Kipnis!  You can Kipnis my ass....or your ass, or his ass....

[BSLChrisStoner]

Swisher rifles the first pitch he sees into left. 2 on, 2 out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Santana flies out. Cleveland done in the 1st.

[You Play to Win the Game]

There we go Zach... not pristine, but effective nevertheless.

[fishteacher]

Not a horrible start for Zach...kinda dumb he plunked Kipnis, but worked his way out nicely. 

[You Play to Win the Game]

Still just 18 pitches, which allowing two base runners, isn't the worst thing in the world.
