July/August 2020 Game Thread

agreed. they found some really nice arms in vincent and bleier. along with kintzler and boxburger thats a decent enough back end.

i really wish isan didnt opt out now though and i wonder if he might be regretting it already. did anything ever get explained why he did that other than just being scared with all those covid cases? Any risky people at home

need to take advantage of these next two orioles games. woj isnt good and then we go against former marlins legend wade leblanc tomorrow. 2 bad pitchers. need 5 strong from yamamoto against this bad lineup.

Yamamoto must be doing something wrong because we’re going with a bullpen game instead.

Monte Harrison sits in game two. 0-6 with 5 K’s out of the chute.

Mish needs to get the story on what's up with Yamamoto this year.

[Erick]

Berti’s a solid player in his role.

maybe im confusing him but i could have sworn i saw something about coming to camp out of shape but i could be completely wrong. it does seem pretty stupid to not at least start him in game 2 though in this ridiculous situation

I'd love to know who is available in this game. I'd be quick with the hooks.

Yeah if it’s a bullpen game, it’s kind of weird that Smith is going more than 1 inning.

[fish16]

was that the good josh smith or the bad josh smith?

sterling sharp finally about to make his debut. weird its taken this long.

- - - - - - - - - -

after reviewing both of their stats i can confirm that a good josh smith does not exist no matter the middle initial

- - - - - - - - - -

maybe yamamoto is getting the start tomorrow and they wanted to use the bullpen for just a 7 inning game? I say maybe because i have no idea who is healthy in our rotation.

we could not have asked for a better opponent for the first 4 games this week given our current predicament. the orioles are like 1-2 years behind where we were in our first year of our rebuild.

[fish16]

24 straight scoreless dating back to the philly sunday game. unreal. Both in terms of our pitching and the orioles awfulness

- - - - - - - - - -

Something im just thinking of- does isan opting out without a legit excuse mean this year doesnt count in terms of service time and we get an extra year before free agency down the road?

[Erick]

Are all of our best relievers unavailable for Game 2?

Mattingly going with Tarpley to get a righty for the last out in the 6th...

- - - - - - - - - -

Orioles score but we get out of the inning with a lead.

Maybe we can use a reliable reliever for the 7th?

[fish16]

wonder if donny goes with kintzler or boxburger?

[Erick]

Some runs would be nice. We’ve only scored 3 runs today lol.

[Nick]

Wow, Tarpley still in.

[Erick]

wonder if donny goes with kintzler or boxburger?

Mattingly going with Tarpley. I don’t get it.

[Nick]

Mike Morin in the pen. Who the F is that? Where is Boxberger?

Thank God for the Orioles.
