Some 2 out magic in the first inning to get an early 2-0 lead.

Let's see how we blow it in the late innings.

Typical.

Norris has given up 3 runs runs in the bottom of the first that included a Daniel Murphy 2 run homer.

Bud Norris should apologize to his offense. They give him 2 runs against Max Scherzer, then he comes out and allows 3 runs and throws nearly 40 pitches in the first inning.

Our offense hasn't been great by any means, but our pitching, both starting and relief has been down right atrocious.

I mean, yesterday we walked 7 batters and hit 3 batters. 10 free passes.

Stay hot Markakis, stay hot.

Mallex Smith flew around the bases to score on that double.

Back on top.

Will either pitcher make it through the 5th?

Freeman might lead the league in walks this season.

I'm even giving more details. But I'm in a hotel room, so I've nothing better to do than watch the game and post live updates on my laptop.

I don't have on TV. Just following on Gamecast

I like your updates as don't always follow :suds:

Oh, then I'm probably posting before it even updates.

Smith can run though. Legged out an infield hit, and looked like Flash Gordon running the bases on the Markakis double.

Not looking like it. Love that we're crushing Scherzer

Awesome. Was just looking him up and saw had 64 stolen bases in a season at some minor league level

Him being called up while Inciarte is on the DL is the main reason I was still excited for tonight after the 0-5 start.

And a sac fly ties the game at 4.

An infield hit by the catcher that loaded the bases was the killer.

Bases loaded with 1 out, allowing just 1 run isn't that bad I guess. Luckily, Scherzer was next up after the sac fly.

Scherzer just walked Bud Norris. If we don't capitalize, I will pull out a chunk of my flowing locks of blond hair.

Hair has been pulled.

Smith thrown out stealing, and gets a cut above his eye in the process.
