We were winning when I left the house, lost by the time I got back. Big surprise..... not.
On a positive note... the son of an old friend is pitching well in his second year in the O's chain. Jake Cowen is 2-0 at Delmarva, picking up a win tonight over Hagerstown. He's a former UV star and his Dad flew up to see him pitch tonight. I'm real glad he got to see Jake pitch well and get a win.
These games just feel predetermined. It's a question of "Who will f@$* it up tonight?" Tonight's winner, Matt Albers. And, why do Oriole rallies always fall one-run short? After their first couple hits in the ninth last night, I knew (KNEW!) they would score that sixth run but be unable to tie the game.
Unless they somehow start winning, I'm taking a break for a while. I'll watch them again when they head to Minnesota. At least there will be a pretty new stadium and an MVP to look at.
Boy am I out of the loop. I read the post talking about the Shorebirds playing the Suns and thought, "When did the Orioles lose the Suns as a minor league affiliate"? Well, I looked it up - it only happened 18 years ago!

Bob - I hadn't heard of Jake! I'll be sure to track his progress.
ReplyDeleteFTB - I only watched last night because Matusz was pitching. I'm sort of sorry I did.

ReplyDeleteTim - Yeah, it's been a minute. Hagerstown has made the rounds since then...I have no idea who they belong to now.
