Okay so last time the Jays were in Baltimore I was actually there and got to see 2 of the games, my first time watching them on the road. Of course the Jays had to pick that time to get swept by the worst team in the league. Really pissed me off. Since then the Orioles have pretty done nothing but lose. So i'm really hoping to see the Jays stomp the Orioles into the ground this time around.

There are more Jays fans there than Orioles.

Buck is seriously going senile.. If he was not already... Third or fourth time in past two weeks I have heard him do a home run or double to the wall call for a ball caught before the warning track..@#IMISSSHULMAN

[Orgfiller]

It feels like McKinney's weakness might be high fastballs and he's been pounded upstairs along with low breaking balls. I wonder if the league will adjust similarly to Tellez since it seems he's getting nothing but offspeed and breaking balls thus far.

[Spanky99]

Nice rip by Jansen.

[Abomination]

It sounds like a minor league game there tonight.

Our double AA team sprinkled with a few guys who started in AAA are a better team then we were putting out there on our major league roster.. Notice we are having more success also:)

[Spanky99]

I just saw Weams in that Wrestling get up, lol.

[Orgfiller]

Ah damn Rowdy you gotta make that throw.

[Captain Adama]

Ah damn Rowdy you gotta make that throw.

 

That was an easy triple play.

[KevinGregg]

That was an easy triple play.

 

20 grade arm rowdy tellez

Please go away Pat!

[Captain Adama]

Please go away Pat!

 

Holy f*** they're absolutely insufferable to listen to right now.

[Orgfiller]

That's a shame, Jansen threw a bullet down to second.

[Captain Adama]

Last Bluejay to throw a complete game shutout?

 

Mark Beuhrle in 2015 if I'm not mistaken.

[G-Snarls]

Last Bluejay to throw a complete game shutout?

 

Brandon Morrow??

[G-Snarls]

Mark Beuhrle in 2015 if I'm not mistaken.

 

That's probably right

I love Borucki's usage of the inside fastball, particularly the high and inside variety. Such a good pitch and many hitters are not comfortable with it.

Up and in is the new black. If you get enough spin on that 4 seamer,most players can't handle it since they've mostly developed swings to generate loft, which is the result of the previous generation of pitchers all pounding the zone low. It's all cyclical.

 

Within a few (5+) seasons, we'll probably back to watching slappy spray hitters again when all the pitchers have abandoned their 2 seam or sinker /slider focus in favour of 4 seam/curveball and younger position players will have to be coming up with much more level swings

[Orgfiller]

I did not expect Borucki to make such an outstanding play lol, I saw that three rows deep in RF when I saw him throwing on the fall like that.

[L54]

Who says pitchers aren’t athletes? Great play by Borucki!

[Orgfiller]

The battery had a brilliant defensive inning.

[Spanky99]

Great D that inning, this game actually.

[L54]

Danny Jansen is a stud

[Orgfiller]

God that's such a sexy pitch.

[glory]

Papa Buehrle conceived a child while he was here. Borucki making his dad proud.

[John_Havok]

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but when the O's lose tonight it will tie their franchise record for losses in a season since they became the Orioles in 1954.
