After watching the last four games, it’s hard to get a lot of enthusiasm up for this one, I’ll be honest. I’ve been feeling pretty low about this team of ours. But I also know that if they do win, especially if it’s one of those feel-good wins, my tune will change just like that. That’s the nature of fandom, I guess. Shane Baz will try to play stopper tonight, and he is coming off of a good start against the Houston Astros. The Astros are also a strong offensive team, and we’ve been told that Baz is capable of ace-like stuff. We haven’t seen it, but Mike Elias thinks a lot of him and I’m dying for him to be proven right. Unfortunately, the super hot Cam Schlittler is pitching for the Yankees, he of the 1.51 ERA and league-leading WHIP and K/BB. Ugh. At least he’s not a lefty. Taylor Ward and Tyler O’Neill are both being given the night off tonight, replaced by in left field and in right. Do something, Colton! We want to believe. also gets the night off; will man third base. Speaking of third base, if you missed it: began feeling elbow discomfort when throwing and is being shut down from all baseball activities. This is not surprising to me, but it is a bummer. When will we be allowed to have nice things? **Orioles lineup** (L) SS Adley Rutschman (S) C Dylan Beavers (L) RF (R) 1B (L) DH (S) CF Colton Cowser (L) LF (R) 2B Blaze Alexander (R) 3B **Yankees lineup** (L) CF (R) RF (L) LF (S) DH (L) 2B (R) 1B (L) C (L) 3B (R) SS Let’s go O’s!
