Littell just throwing meatballs and the orioles are finally starting to him them.

Vivaz adds absolutely nothing to this roster.

i had not realized he hasn't posted a SLG over .400 since AA ball in 2023, and you know his 12% walk rates in the minors wouldn't carry over.

That was nicely played by Wood

That's about as good a performance as you could want from Littell or maybe anyone on the staff

And well-played by House.

Yep. credit where it's due.

A lot of pressure on Alvarez to come in with a 1 run lead.

Man we’ve been terrible with challenging pitches. Like we have no clue when to do it or when not to?

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #33 on:** May 15, 2026, 08:09:10 pm »

On a 3-2 called strike on the edge, you can use the 1st challenge

I think they have strict orders at this point

It seemed to be quite a bit off the plate.

Man this Alvarez kid can pitch. He needs to stay up.

Nice outing for Alvarez.

Squab · « **Reply #38 on:** May 15, 2026, 08:17:10 pm »

definitely like the stuff from Alvarez

Squab · « **Reply #39 on:** May 15, 2026, 08:18:52 pm »

that groundout from Adley Rutschman in the 3-1 count was 94 mph with 2447 spin, which is very good

Squab · « **Reply #40 on:** May 15, 2026, 08:20:57 pm »

Littells velo was up .9 mph from season average today too. 92.2

Extend Lile now!

Nothing is clearing the fence tonight

Lile proves me wrong.

Slateman · « **Reply #44 on:** May 15, 2026, 08:24:59 pm »

Lile is on fire

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #45 on:** May 15, 2026, 08:28:05 pm »

Vivas gets on so he's not worthless.

GataNats · « **Reply #46 on:** May 15, 2026, 08:35:32 pm »

Alvarez looking sharp. Give him one more batter

welch · « **Reply #47 on:** May 15, 2026, 08:40:22 pm »

Maybe one more inning for Alvarez?

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #48 on:** May 15, 2026, 08:41:20 pm »

he's going to get the 8th

Alvarez hasn't been special in AAA this year but he seems to play up when called up.
