I know, right? It seems like a shame to lose a game where something like that happens.
It’s going to be up to Baltimore’s own Bruce Zimmermann to try to carry the weight and pitch a good game in today’s 1:10 series finale to give the O’s a chance of breaking their ongoing 14-game road losing streak.
Whatever is going wrong, they’re going to have to work it out without the benefit of stopping to take a breath on a day off.
Though the O’s were losers yesterday, they gained no ground in the race for the #1 pick in 2022.
Then there are those times where I sit there and think, well, if the Orioles are going to lose 14 straight road games – a lot of which overlapped with their 14-game overall losing streak last month – they might as well get the best chance at the best player in 2022 next year.
The Braves had a pair of future HOFers in action that day too: Chipper Jones got one of the team’s six hits, while John Smoltz allowed seven runs in 2.1 innings for the loss.
They are: 2011-13 reliever Pedro Strop, 1991 catcher Ernie Whitt, and 1955-56 catcher Tom Gastall.
In 1625, England’s King Charles I married a Catholic princess, Henrietta Maria of France.
