Not liking our lineup so I'll say 5-2 KC

[gottselig2004]

Both teams will be tired but I will say 8-4 Orioles

[boulderterp]

Will come down to defense and bullpen per usual. Weiters can pitch hit, if game goes deep lots of pinch hitting options. O's 6 straight road wins. royals 4-14 at home.

[Jimmy Jazz]

3 lefties in that lineup for Matusz. Spaced out at nice 'need an out now' intervals.

Not sure I get why KC is playing Falu over Giavottela at 2B

[gottselig2004]

Oriole nation!!!!!!!!!

Not sure I get why KC is playing Falu over Giavottela at 2B

They are both pretty cool names, but Ned Yost probably can remember how to spell 'Falu' off the top of his head, and he had a pretty late night last night.

For anyone outside the O's or KC broadcast areas, this game is the free game on MLB.com today.

Play ball

[Jimmy Jazz]

Dammit Jones, lay off that pitch!

[gottselig2004]

Adam jones is the 1st player since mcQwire (89) to hit game winning HRs in the 15 inning or later twice in a season.....no word who was the last steroid free hitter to do it

[gottselig2004]

Good start Matusz 1-2-3

For anyone that wants to listen to Joe Angel use "mental telepathy" to will Adam Jones to a homerun last night, here it is.

Nice to see Matusz touching 94

Dempsey had a great breakdown on pregame. Matusz's strength was great breaking ball and changeup and now those 2 pitches are rarely thrown. He's gotten his velocity back but will he ever have 4 plus pitches like he did when we drafted him?

I must be doing something wrong, how do I get this to play? I click the > looking thing to the left of the 23 and it just takes me to the samlesher profile.

-------------
The number is now 54, guess it reflects how many plays the thing has. Or how many times I've futilely clicked it.

[gottselig2004]

Nice to see Matusz touching 94

his last 5 starts he has looked poised for the majority

[gottselig2004]

another 1-2-3

Meanwhile, like clock work Ed Reed is whining again about retiring and wanting a new deal. When will he learn that these tactics won't work?
