Most interesting thing for me in this series (and it will probably hold true for many others) is watching the starting pitching. Can Hunter and Hammel build on their very successful first starts? Can Matusz look like he belongs in the majors? I have questions, (hopefully) the Orioles have answers!

I'm not sure you are going to like the answers Adam. It is only a matter of time before Hammel and Hunter show to be what they have been in the past, which is pitchers that give up plenty of baserunners and runs. I hope I'm wrong.
Matusz, who knows.
Here is the bigger question, can anybody explain how to read and use that pitching fx data from texas leaguers? Seems crazy that somebody or something is able to track all of that, and that it is being done on every pitch. But if it is accurate, I suppose I could use it if I knew what I was looking at.

I kind of like giving Reynolds a chance to focus on his hitting...The Orioles are going to need his bat!

Yeah, I don't mind that. Getting his offense going might help him in the field as well.

Rogers Centre will always be Skydome to me. Remember when it opened in '89 (during the season sometime), it just seemed like the 8th wonder of the World.

Reimold is just built for this park.
Reimold smashes a drive opposite field off the wall for a double to lead off the game.

Markakis fouls back 95 mph heat, falls behind 1-2. Need the run here.

Plenty of good seats still available. If Toronto was a contender again, I wonder if they would draw? Amazing they used to draw 4M plus.
Jones singles into LCF, the throw goes behind Jones at 1st, there is no tag; but he is called out to end the inning.
1-0 O's.

Lind grounds to Davis, who goes to 2nd for the force. Hardy was able to go back across the diamond to turn 2.
End of the 1st, O's 1 - Jays 1.
