ST IGT 03/18 - NYM @ BAL

[Edgy MD]

Two orange-as-secondary-color teams meet in Sarasota. Dylan Bundy always sounded to me like the name of a horrible nineties rock band.

Host Orioles are stacking the lineup. In fact, with regular DH Mark Trumbo out with a strained quad, this is pretty close to the A-team. All other regulars are starting today.

1. Brandon Nimmo (L), rf
2. José Reyes (S), 2b
3. Wilmer Flores (R), 1b
4. Travis d'Arnaud (R), c
5. José Lóbaton (S), dh
6. Phillip Evans (R), 3b
7. Juan Lagares (R), cf
8. Amed Rosario (R), ss
9. Matt den Dekker (L), lf
   
   Noah Syndergaard (R), sp

1. Chris Davis (L), 1b
2. Jonathan Schoop (R), 2b
3. Manny Machado (R), ss
4. Adam Jones (R), cf
5. Trey Mancini (R), dh
6. Colby Rasmus (L), rf
7. Tim Beckham (R), 3b
8. Cedric Mullins (S), lf

I guess with Cespedes possibly starting at PSL we can watch an OF competition here on.

Bundy and Sydergaard trade scoreless firsts.

O's fans have no faith in the Oriole pitching staff.

[Edgy MD]

Mets brought the styx and have put Syndergaard on top 4-0. Big hits by d'Arnaud and Nimmaud.

[G-Fafif]

Oriole announcers Joe Angel and Jim Hunter have decided, based on Noah Syndergaard's two pop culture cameos (Kevin Can Wait, Game of Thrones) that Thor is one of those athletes who want to be an actor, the way actors want to be athletes.

A [squared] + B [squared] doesn't necessary = C [squared].

[Edgy MD]

Orioles knocking Smeth Lugo around in the bottom of the eighth, cutting a 5-1 lead to 5-4.

So far.

[Edgy MD]

Birdies get the tying run to third with one out. Gsellie gets a strikeout, and walks the next guy with a 3-2 pitch.

Winning run on first and tying run on third if you're a bird.

[Edgy MD]

O's announcer calling him Gesselman.

[Edgy MD]

Strike three!

Mets win!

The bird is the word.
And the word is BOOKS!
