The O's have some decent numbers against Gray.  Gunnar, Robert & Alonso are 10-29 with 4 HRs.  If Alonso goes deep, the forecast is for a saturation of Fred.

Why wait?

[Nick]

Right now going into the playoffs, Gray, Tolle and Suarez with Bennett being the 4th starter?

Love to see Houck be back for the playoffs. Obviously Crochet too but not sure there's enough time for him to rehab.

Crochet is planning to be in the pen.

Gray hasn't pitched against the Orioles this season.  

He's just had a good rest after pitching 30 innings in August with an ERA of 2.40.  In his last 2 games, however, he gave up 6 ER in 11 IP against Miami and San Francisco.  His lifetime ERA over 15 seasons is 3.53.  This year it's 2.82.

Reportedly if Crochet comes back he'll be in the pen.

We need to sic the hounds on Bassitt.

[Tedballgame]

Chapman and Whitlock probably both unavailable tonight after two straight appearances. Hope the bats come alive tonight.

[Deja Doh]

No Rutschman, Rafaela or Durbin. 

[NHNative]

Looking forward to a rested Gray. He sounds real good and ready to roll.

Durbin needs the break. I have a feeling, its gonna be a good game with a balance of offense and defense.

[Bagwell Anderson]

Story in the five hole shows how weak this lineup is tonight

Story still stinks

Love how the Baltimore announcers are criticizing Gasper for not swinging at ball 4

[FredLynn]

IKF up

Next inning please 

Why is that idiot swinging at the first pitch??

Your wish has been granted! Because IKF can’t hit squat!

[vegasbob]

So weary of the early inning missed opportunities . Never a hit when needed.  Story is the same as he was pre-injury

[vegasbob]

Duran should have had that ball on the line but he can't see pitches either

[jad]

I do like how Tracy goes out to talk to umpires respectfully, even hiding what he is saying, rather than go out with arms flailing like a jackass or a three year old.

[vegasbob]

Lack of that tough catch extends Gray into a 20+ pitch first

[Bagwell Anderson]

Gray is a little too amped up right now.  Needs to get out of this 1st inning 

[FredLynn]

25 pitches

He’s going to need a few quick innings 

[FredLynn]

Duran will K

[Bagwell Anderson]

Duran missing that 2-1 meatball and then another.  

[FredLynn]

So easy to predict 

[Bagwell Anderson]

Gonna be another anemic offensive performance tonight.

I have no idea how they are going to score more than a run or two tonight 

[NHNative]

Not sure what I am looking at, but I like an 8 pitch inning.

Our bats are not what we need.

Bassitt eating them up with the disappearing curve ball
