6/16 - Orioles (Irvin) vs Cubs (Hendricks): 1:20pm, Marquee

[Brock Beauchamp]

Somehow, the Cubs are only 3.5 GB in the National League Central because, woof, the two central divisions are absolutely pathetic this season.

This division is shaping up to be a jump ball between a bunch of people with broken legs.

[Derwood]

Orioles are really good

but

Irvin is very bad

[CubinNY]

Is the wind blowing in or out? If it's blowing out, they better get someone up in the pen before the start of the game. 

[champaignchris]

I don’t hate this all right-handed lineup. 

[Derwood]

Great sink on Kyle's pitches so far

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Hendricks is calling his own game it looks like, was that the case with his previous starts?

[Tryptamine]

Mancini with the throwing error that was somehow called a hit and not cutting down the lead runner on another play. Is he aware he doesn't want to help Baltimore anymore?

[Tryptamine]

As expected, making the guy with a 7 era look great.

I think last start was the first time he did it. He did ok in that start.

At least his 2nd game doing it.

Yep, Mooney wrote about it after that start.

This start is yielding similar results.

Amaya!

[Derwood]

That was a bomb

[Andy]

That was a sweet swing by Amaya too. I love having 2 catchers that can hit.

That was low in the zone, almost a ball, and Morel banged it off the scoreboard. My God this kid has power

You sure? 😂

[Tim]

Have I mentioned that morel should be playing every damn day?

[Derwood]

Could Boog hate Girardi any more? His contempt is palpable

[mul21]

Man does Hendricks get hit hard when he's not locating precisely.

[Andy]

What the actual hell was that throw, Wisdom/what the actual hell was that attempt to catch it, Hoerner?

Ugh Kyle is not long for this game unfortunately.
