Interesting lineup. Hope Bostick has a decent nite at the plate tonight. Wonder why the "2nd best 2bman" on the team is not starting tonight. Instead a weak hitting defensive guy is in there? 8-)

If Glasnow can't throw strikes, he's of little use. 76 pitches to go 3.2 innings with 5 walks.

Just wondering which is more painful -- watching Glasnow load the bases on TV or watching him do it on ESPN's new gamecast? I will guess gamecast.



Can anyone with the luxury of TV summarize Glasnow's night?

He had 1 good inning (the fourth). He was in trouble in the 3rd with walks. He gave up 2 hits in the 5th (one was an infield hit) but was helped by a caught stealing. He walked the bases loaded in the 6th and was removed. Just another in a seemingly endless series of games in which throwing strikes is beyond his ability level.

Thanks Bobster. When I have seen him interviewed he comes across as a great kid. I hope he can figure it out someday..soon.

It's one of those situations where I won't fault them either way. You don't want them to get rid of him and then see him become a star pitcher. On the other hand, you don't want to see them keep him if this is as good as he gets. The Orioles are my #2 team and Jake Arrieta was expected to become a star pitcher but in 3+ seasons with the Orioles he was 20-25 with a 5.46 ERA and 1.472 WHIP. By the time they traded him to the Cubs, no one was sorry to see him go. Then, as a Cub, he became the star pitcher the Orioles had envisioned. But it's hard to fault a team for moving a player who consistently fails with no guarantee he won't stop failing.

Tough situation in the 9th. Better bring in Nicasio. Oh wait.

Bad strategy. Need to walk the bases loaded so there is a force play at the plate. The infield can play back a step and not be all the way in.
