An update on the wild card race: It sounds like we'll get Bo back tomorrow (Saturday). Meanwhile, we're still 0.5 games up on the Ms and 3 and 5.5 games back of the Astros and Rays, respectively. We basically haven't lost or gained ground. I think that's pretty good, considering KK and Jano are missing from the lineup, and DeJong hasn't hit well. Also, Biggio is like our 4th or 5th best hitter right now, which no one expected at the start of the year. Hopefully with Bo back we can move up to the 1st or 2nd wildcard spot. As much as I'd love to face the Twinkies first round, 3rd spot doesn't feel safe if Ms are 0.5 games behind
Saw on sportnet central a couple hours ago that almost everyone is expected back very soon. Bichette, Chapman, Richards, kiermaier, and Chad green all possible to make their comeback in the series vs the reds.
Excellent, how very exciting! Very important depth for out lineup and bullpen. This should be a fun series, but the Orioles next should really tell us things about our team
Kiermaier and Richards are now officially back for tonight.
And Chapman as well, lineup just posted with him at 3rd!
