Mon 17 4p: Sheehan vs. Rodriguez Tue 18 4p: Grove vs. Wells Wed 19 10a: Urias vs. Kremer
It's difficult for me to write something recapping the last series with the Mets, partially because the Los Angeles Times no longer covers game recaps with its emasculated Sports content strategy. I think we did pretty well in the first two games @ Citi Field, including the Friday Night Baseball nationally-televised game, before dropping the final game in extra innings, which means we beat Justin Verlander and held pretty close with Max Scherzer. So I'll take it.
And now we face the O's in Baltimore, at one of my favorite ballparks in the majors, Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The world has now found out about Adley Rutschman, with his incredible 2023 Home Run Derby performance (switching sides of the plate for the bonus time round--amazing!), and is the best catcher in baseball (sorry, Will Smith). The Orioles are a surprising second place in the competitive AL East, they have a better record than the Dodgers, and they're one of the small-market feel-good stories of the year. Tough for me to root against them.
But I'll try.

Game 1, big win off a CT3 GS!
When will Max Muncy ever hit again
We've won Games 1 and 2. I'm going to try and keep track of Game 3 this morning while I'm "working".
Max Muncy still can't hit (10-pitch AB, ground out for the second out).
But it's okay: Slappy doubles to score Freeman (who walked), and then David Peralta singles to score Smith!
2-0 LA, mid-1
Orioles don't have Adley Rutschman in today's starting lineup. That's weird.
Urias has allowed a walk and three singles here in the first. It's tied at 2 and there is only one out, B1.
Urias is a disaster here in the first. We're down 4-2.
