Ms bullpen has been p bad as well

iwakuma came off the DL yday to start and he looked good apparently (didnt get to watch) so thats rly good news. our rotation has been tore up by injuries and was lacking depth in the first place. having both of last years two cy young candidates holding down the 1 and 2 should be v good. we've been playing roughly .500 ball with felix, 3 rookies who should in AA or AAA and a reclamation project (chris young)

whats wrong with that taiwan walker guy. i thought he was suppoesd to be there this season.
#83
strained lat :\
#84
im almost more excited for paxton than walker, paxton is a lefty who tops out at 98mph, filthy 12-6 curve and can hit his spots when hes on. hes got consistency issues re his control but damn man he looks near like randy johnson out there some times

update from minnesota: nelson cruz hit another home run, o's still down 1. cruz has 26 home runs now this season to lead the league. orioles just foolishly left the bases loaded in the 7th

mchugh was owning again, shutting down the orioles. but O's tied it 2-2 on a wild pitch in the 7th and then in the 8th with mchugh gone, nelson cruz hit his 28th HR this season 3-2

jays lost 2 against the angels. at least they are losing to a catholic team.

Orioles just got done with a sweep of the devil rays which also struck a blow for Christ.
#101
tommy hunter is gonna blow a lot of saves this season. maybe not tonight, maybe not tomorrow... but before he's done, he's gonna cost the Orioles some games.
#102

it was tonight

#104
my friend and i went to a jays game on thursday. there were about 50 people in our small section. to our left there was a guy yelling racial slurs at a black outfielder. he was physically removed by police. just in front of us were like 7 bros. they kept yelling at people in our section and flicking their ears and shit. police physically removed one them as well, so they all left. behind us were like ten wild little children who had forgotten the concept of 'parent' long ago and were like kicking my seat and shit. so we moved up a bit to avoid the chaos. it was a good game though.
#105
this game ended up being pretty cool. after tommy hunter blew the save in the top of the 9th, it started pouring rain. o's trailed by 1, they brought in patton to pitch in the downpour, he walked a guy but then ended the inning. but it was still pouring and they had to delay the game for an hour, with just the bottom of the 9th left to play. well game resumes, first two orioles quickly get out, but then they load the bases with 2 outs and tie it. then they win in the bottom of the 10th
#106
oh there was also a venenzuelan family in two rows in front of me. one woman was wearing a venezuela flag style hat, which is a symbol of the opposition. i kept trying to think of ways to bring it up in a chant but failed. like... phillies suck capriles sucks.... dunno man
#107
felix is from venezuela and supported "peace" during the recent unrest. he is a millionaire expat but p cool imo. plays baseball for a team in my city.

#110
does phillies rhyme with capriles? if so thats awesome
#111
tommy hunter just walked torii hunter and then gave up back to back HRs to cabrera and martinez to blow another save, and what had been a rare shutout of the tigers. his last save situation i hope?
#112
he tied for lead with rodney in saves iirc

also iwakuma vs david price tonight yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
#113
mm, but this is his 3rd blown save and he has a loss, and his ERA is 6.6 and his WHIP is 1.87, probably not what you want from a closer
#114
saves are probably the worst counting stat but yeah thats p bad.

im watching a stream out of tampa and apparently the rays have a DJ kitty promo gimmick lol
#115
i thought you typed a rare shitout
