O’s in 5

Both are young teams with little PO experience. This one will be interesting to call. That said , Os in 5.

 

[Random schmoe]

I successfully called Rangers over Rays because Texas just looks like a sharp, well-coached team whenever I've seen them, and they've played the O's well this year. Real good lineup and the pitchers that they have left are good ones. That said, I think the Orioles eek this series out in 5. But I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Rangers win it either.

Both have similarly potent lineups, but the Orioles are a more consistent team that I trust more. Picking the O’s in 4.

O's in 3.

O's in 4

I'm rooting for Bochy, but I want the Orioles to go far, mainly because they are a Cinderella story.

O's in 5

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I want the Orioles to win but this series scares me for them:

- Bochy is a playoff God. Off the top of my head, he has won 10 of the last 11 playoff series he has managed (Not counting the WC game as a series) with the only lost series against the 2016 Cubs.

- Very young Orioles team with an inexperienced manager going through its first playoff experience.

- Texas offence is really good.

Going with the Rangers in 5.

 

[Halladay]

Excited to see playoff baseball back at Camden Yards. Been 9 years.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Start delayed 1 hour and 15 minutes due to rain.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

I despise when rain screws up Playoff Baseball. Throw us a bone Mother Nature.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I already love the atmosphere in Baltimore. Long Suffering fanbase finally gets rewarded this year. One reason I'm rooting for the Os in this series.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Former Astro Grossman hits a drive down first that is just fair for a double off Bradish. He gets out of the inning next batter.

If we somehow beat the Twins and potentially face the O's then that's 2 wins we will concede . We can't hit this kid .

Same . It's awesome seeing PO baseball in Camden again. Like @Halladay said it's been too long

Bradish strikes out the side in the 2nd.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

5 K for Bradish through 2. He brought his A game so far.

Good start for Heaney as well. 1.2.3 in the 2nd.

Another 1.2.3 for Heaney. The O's are kinda making this easy for him.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Evan Carter continues to shine.

 

[EpochLink]

Baltimore better start the bullpen going.

Bradish ain’t it today

 

[Halladay]

Semien had a chance to break the game open.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Baltimore better start the bullpen going.

Bradish ain’t it today

Bad inning for sure.

These sudden pivots to the Ump Cam are disorienting

O's on the board. Mountcastle!

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Pulling Heaney. Going to another starter in Dunning

The prestigious Rags BP will get tons of work today. I'm sure everything will be smooth sailing from here on out for the Rangers.

Rags escape . 2-1 Rangers

Bradish out after 4 and 2/3rds.. Coulombe in. He immediately walks a guy.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Evan Carter man, what a player.
