Monday night Orioles game thread: @ Yankees, 7:05
I would like to request one win, please.

After watching the last four games, it’s hard to get a lot of enthusiasm up for this one, I’ll be honest.
I’ve been feeling pretty low about this team of ours. But I also know that if they do win, especially if it’s one of those feel-good wins, my tune will change just like that. That’s the nature of fandom, I guess.
Shane Baz will try to play stopper tonight, and he is coming off of a good start against the Houston Astros. The Astros are also a strong offensive team, and we’ve been told that Baz is capable of ace-like stuff. We haven’t seen it, but Mike Elias thinks a lot of him and I’m dying for him to be proven right.
Unfortunately, the super hot Cam Schlittler is pitching for the Yankees, he of the 1. 51 ERA and league-leading WHIP and K/BB. Ugh.
