IGT 08/19 BAL at NYM - Pigeons are Tougher than Orioles

[metirish]

I do like how he agrees with a yeah every time Keith says something

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yeah that was a good skill, the pbp man who makes his color guys look bad.

He also, like, said like a lot, like all the time.

[Edgy MD]

Kingston getting an AL team is a tough draw.



Peterson at 71 pitches through five is helpful.

[Edgy MD]

Chasing the starter early in Game One is always nice.



Not sure what made the O's so hot for Trevor Rogers.

Yeah, although Mendy has shown a quick hook with Peterson even when RA and pitch counts are low.

[Edgy MD]

True, but hey, we're through 5 2/3 innings now. That's like a complete game for Peterson in 2024.

Alvarez is lost

[Frayed Knot]

Alvarez is lost

Last HR July 26th

Previous HR June 26th

I predict he'll break out a week from today (cuz, y'know, it's the 19th today)

[Edgy MD]

Well, that turned fast.

[Frayed Knot]

Well that suxx x2

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Mendy can't win with this palooka

What's this 'you have to declare' shit?

Ronnie just talked about having to declare whether you're going to pitch from the stretch or the windup with a runner on 3rd



WHY?

[Frayed Knot]

Well, Gary, we're making their nondescript middle relievers look like world beaters so the O's might not need any of their top guys.

[Edgy MD]

Vientos seems to like catching popups.

[Frayed Knot]

OK, here's where home field advantage kicks in, we've got two ABs to their one.

[Edgy MD]

Paste one here, Alonso.

Eight outs recorded by Baltimore relievers, six by K





Make it 9/7



10/8

With Bader and Taylor starting together today, if there's a need for a pinch-runner, Nimmo is about the only candidate.



And as Alonso strikes out for the second out, it looks like a pinch-runner won't be needed this inning.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Whiffy

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ron and Keith can go suck it

[Edgy MD]

Francisco despises you all.



YOU ALL!!

[Frayed Knot]

Alvarez: Fuck you Ron & Keith

Severino's shutout. Alvarez's walk-off.



This team is beginning to really feel like a playoff team. It's creating moments. The ennui is fading away, there is more excitement now. What a great ending.

I wasn't wrong, just premature.

[Cowtipper]

Alvarez's reaction to his home run was that of a guy who's playing for something. Wow, I'm starting to believe!
