Okamoto and McAdoo Homer, Jays Beat Orioles

Blue Jays 6 Orioles 5 Back to .500. Bullpen days are a terrible thing to watch. One of my lines is that if you use a lot of relievers, you are likely to find the one that doesn’t have it on that day. And the Jays did find that guy. The second pitcher into the […]

Game #58 GameThread: Jays @ Orioles

Adam Macko gets the ‘start’ tonight (likely closer to an opener). I don’t know what they expect out of him. Two innings, three? The most he threw in Buffalo is 2.1 innings. Austin Voth is to be the ‘bulk’ guy. And they are planning another bullpen day Sunday. And Charles McAdoo makes his MLB debut, […]

Friday night Orioles game thread: vs. Blue Jays, 7:05

Trevor Rogers will look to get back on track tonight against the Blue Jays. The Orioles received a quality start from Chris Bassitt yesterday, but the offense failed to carry its weight in a 2-1 loss.

Orioles news: A winning streak snapped

Good morning, Camden Chatters. The good vibes of the Orioles’ sweep of the first-place Rays did not carry into their next series, at least not for the opener. The O’s slipped back to five games under .500 with their 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays, as their offense, which had plated 26 runs in three […]

Jays Beat Orioles

Blue Jays 2 Orioles 1 I guess we scored some runs yesterday, so it was too much to ask for us to get more than two today. We scored: We had 6 hits and 5 walks, so you would have hoped for more runs. But such is life. No one had two hits. Okamoto was […]
