GameThread: Indians (71-73) @ Orioles (64-80)

PrintPitching match up features Brian Bass against Andrew Zach Jackson.
The Orioles look to steal this game and split the series with the Indians before a legitimate team in Minnesota comes into town.
The O's are sitting at around 1,800,294 fans before tonight's game with twelve matches left before OPACY shuts down for the year. According to my in depth calculations, thats around 16,500 fans a night for the remaining home games, which could be a bit of a stretch all things considered.
Since some people don't like it when I reference our draft pick standings, I'll instead just provide a link.
Go O's?

When the hell
Was the last time we didn’t give up a run in the first.
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

I think they bring in Roch for comic relief

I like the bass pic up top for Bass-- how about a composite Zachary Taylor and Andrew Jackson pic for Zach Jackson?

Don’t have the right program to fuse the two together, but if you can put King Andrew’s head on Taylors body I’ll add it.

The Native American announcers sound like they're falling asleep. For THIS game? Go figure!
(Cleveland is at 1100 AM; the York O’s outlet at 1350 is fading. You’re welcome.)

So....
The O’s are only playing 161 games, right? So the next game they lose seals the deal on losing season #11?
Yes, it does.
I remember those heady days of late-June when the O’s looked like the might be able to hold out and win 81 games this year, but, alas, it was not to be.
To borrow a phrase from some Cubs fan friends of mine: “Wait Til Next Year”

Probably one of the better outings in a month
For any Baltimore pitcher.

And he went 4 1/3
leaving two runners in scoring position.

HAHAHA
I’m completely detached at this point. The anger just isn’t there.
Wow, that woke up the Native American announcers bigtime! "What a terrible play by a major league pitcher!"
They were shouting, literally.

It wasn't a good play by Cormier at all
But Ramon was literally standing upright on one side of the plate, so when the ball was thrown to the wrong side he made an unsuccessful, pathetic lunge for it . He then decided to watch the runner advance to third instead of throwing the ball to at least make it look like he tried to get the guy out.

Interesting
Scott Lewis, who notched the win yesterday against us, had this to say following his start.
“Bowie hit me better than this, actually,” Lewis said with a smile. “I never expected to do this well. I couldn’t be happier right now.”

which starter was ours
I’ve never heard of either of these guys. Hm, I guess the fish is our guy. Weird.
he just came over from the twins
last week sometime, he’s more or less in the Lance Cormier/Matt Albers camp of swingmen/spot starters, I think.

Bass is our guy, he was acquired from the Twins for a PTBNL.

Whoever we traded for Bass
I believe will be named in the offseason, much like how we find out who we get for Bradford after all is said and done this year.

as a former resident of both cities
the announcers are right.

SAo what was the point of activating Sherril?
If he doesn’t come in to save a game.

While he was out
we had exactly ZERO 9th inning save chances, excluding the make-up game with CWS. Not saves. Save chances. None.
