[tedman2012]

well seems it will be 8 games to clinch .

 

[tedman2012]

with the next 10 games at home we should clinch at home

due diligence

We could clinch the East with a Sweep

Nah, the Jays are still sitting out there as well.

If they sweep and Rays sweep Jays the magic number would be down to 1

I'm pretty happy about the prospect of the O's winning the AL East given that my Bosox are not competitive...anybody but the Yanks of course, but I've never been fond of the J/Rays at all. The O's were briefly my favorite team in Ripken's heyday.

(Anybody else remember the "You can call me Ray, you can call me Jay...but ya doesn't has ta call me Johnson!" guy?)

Exciting times my friends. This is going to be fun. 17 years in the making.

With the Davis suspension, it kind of puts a damper on things...

Quite the pitchers duel going on thus far. 0-0, 7th inning
McCarthy: 3 hits, 5K, 0 BB, 93 pitches
Gausman: 6 hits, 6K, 2 BB, 93 pitches

O's had bases loaded in 8th but couldn't score.

Bases loaded in 9th, 2 outs, Schoop at plate.

 

[jeffro151]

Yay!! Extra innings when there's a DH later on tonight!

 

[jeffro151]

Britton cruises through the 10th.
Kakis, De Aza, Jones due up

 

[jeffro151]

Nothin like a walkoff in extras vs a hated rival

 

[Taz_Hokie]

Was looking at our line-up for this second game and we have only three guys that were in the lineup on opening day (and Flaherty only was due to Manny being out). Only one is at the position he played on opening day (Schoop). Only 5 of the guys were on the opening day roster at all (Cruz, Lough and Pearce all listed outfielders, Schoop and Flaherty in).

 

[Zephyrus001]

Chris Davis? Who's that ... and who needs him? This team will be just fine. Buck and the FO did a hell of a job getting the right pieces to fill in at every position. I'm happy with the results. They are too jelled and focused to dwell on 3 players that can't be on the field for their run.

 

[jeffro151]

I win over the Skanks is even sweeter knowing that is pushing them further and further from the playoffs.

 

[Taz_Hokie]

Magic number drops from 8 to 5 in one night.

 

[jeffro151]

O's win and Jays lose. Magic number down to 5.

 

[tedman2012]

DAVIS was more likely to kkkkkkk than get a hit . great games aaaaaaaaazzzzzzaaaaaaaaaa
