| Simply put, the New York Yankees have the Baltimore Orioles' number. The Yankees dropped two of the first three to the Orioles last year, then took 16 head-to-head matchups in a row. New York rolled to a 9-3 victory in Baltimore on Wednesday in the teams' first meeting of the season, running the streak to 17 games ahead of the series finale on Thursday. Orioles left-hander John Means is scheduled to come off the 10-day injured list to make his first start of the season. He would have drawn the Opening Day assignment were it not for arm fatigue. The Orioles will need to make a pregame move to get Means on the active roster. Means was a big surprise for the Orioles last season, making the All-Star Game and finishing 12-11 with a 3.60 ERA. He is 1-2 with a 7.62 career ERA versus the Yankees in five games (two starts). Means was one of the two Orioles pitchers to get victories against the Yankees in 2019. He was the last, in fact, earning a 7-5 decision on March 31, when he allowed one run in 3 1/3 innings of relief. The losing pitcher that day was J.A. Happ, who coincidentally will start for New York on Thursday, also in his first game of 2020. Happ had his first turn in the rotation skipped when the Yankees' series against the Phillies was scrapped earlier this week. Philadelphia had been the site of Miami's first series of the season before the Marlins were overrun with a coronavirus outbreak. Happ has a 9-7 record with a 3.60 ERA in 25 career appearances (24 starts) against the Orioles. |

I like it. Deck is stacked against the lefty starting for the Orioles
He did. I went back and watched again. It was 3-2 for several pitches before that ball 4. Not sure what the hell happened. And then Judge gets hit on the foot the following inning and doesn’t get the base? Wtf is going on?
Definitely not
Happ is still Happ. No names tagging him.
Haven't a clue as to that count with Hicks. It seemed to get to 3-1 quickly. Two umpires keep track, so I'd guess YES messed that up.

YES did not mess it up. I just told you I went back and watched every pitch. He got 5 balls
:(

I missed it too

My bad, section. Apparently they are saying he swung at that first pitch. I just went to pitch tracker on CBS. I seen no indication that they called that a strike even on replay. I apologize
Amazing(knock on wood) that changing his training regimen and dropping some weight(took off muscle mass) has made him freer and flexible. Looks ridiculously quick.
Hard to say. It looks violent on the radar, but moving fast. There is a gap and then more behind the first wave.
Hard to say with that info. A contusion is a bruise so it depends on how bad it is. Could miss 1 game or a couple of weeks.
BTW Vazquez with 4 homers to the start the year. He sure has come alive.
5-6...
5-6...
Very curious move pushing Loasiga in 3 innings. Kahnle and Chad Green hadn't pitched since Sunday.
