all right guys this was the scene at 8: a.m. this morning I'm just kidding barely this place has packed and it has been for a while as the Dodgers and Orioles face off in the middle game of this three- game series man oh man this is the place to be tonight Dodgers and Orioles two of the top teams in baseball and oh yeah they're giving away a show bobblehead you know what in the bobblehead is decoy and he's out here throwing out a pitch right now this place is rocking decoy on the field with SH you know what interesting the context of this outing is almost like a try out when you think about the fans and maybe even the front officer wherever the teammates for Walker he's looking for more production but for me this is not a guy I would give up on too quickly with the top side being there what he has done in the playoffs I think you've got to give him more than just tonight I know he wants to make a step forward he wants to throw the ball better we're hoping that we see that but with all the question marks with a Dodger rotation I would hope that this guy's got some rope to really get better now the curve on the ground to First for ke Hernandez and the first out of the game she swung on and missed got him with the cutter mixed in the cutter and it cut a little bit almost backs up 91 a little bit of that spin that recognizes cutter and 91 about 5 mph off the fast ball got him with a cutter he finishes off both Rutman and Henderson on that pitch so one two three first inning for Walker beer and Corbin Burns taking the mound he's going to start off by facing the guy who's celebrating a bobblehead night Dodgers when they've homered on this home stand are four and one I'd love to see some of that popping long ball it might as well be Otani on his bobblehead night these people want an Otani home run let's give it to him Launches on right field it sends be back soani meeting the moment reading the room and leaving the yard of course he hit a home run people were lined up at 11:00 this morning to come into the ballpark on sh Otani bobblehead Knight I don't know if that was a change up cutter or whatever no curveball maybe come that hangs up I mean he is so strong he just flicked his wrist Folks at that ball and hit it out what the feeling in the first number of starts that ber came back off the injured list and again the hip was the last main issue that he had you can see him really fighting with the mechanic this is sprayed to Third Base Max M the throw and Kik can't dig it out and it dribbles all the way into the orel's Dugout and that's going to give Ryan oarn an extra 90 ft so this is going to put oarn at second base after the throwing air by Max Muny eighth pitch back to the curve to finish off mullings Smith's got a toss down to First and he does so late Smith's arguing that he caught that on the Fly and that's why he didn't throw it down there there I mean this is this is just so basic of a play it's it's hard to believe that Will Smith did not throw the ball he knows the ball bounced in the ground huge mistake so bu's defense letting him down here and putting him to the test first and second one away and Ramona Rus to the plate that is line down the right field line slicing it's a fair ball it's going to head up into the right field Corner ohar rounding third he's going to score Here Comes The Wave in for mullet relay throw caught by Lux he will not throwing it in Ramona Ras does it again and the Orioles take a two to one lead as the Dodger woes on a routine play and then a brain fart by Will Smith immediately come back to bite them now we're two gone in this second inning the catcher James mccan off the hands short right center field it'll dunk in to make it three to one this is part B baseball that is maddening sometimes to the hitters with line outs and sometime to the pitchers with BL ERS Walker beer out for the top of the third home of the 2-2 Henderson pulls a curve right side diving stop by Gavin Lu what a play by number nine and what a season this has been he gives a little ground to gain a little bit more range and that was perfect timing with the dive and the angle he took the defense might have let Walker down in the last inning but right here this definitely could have been a man on First and no out well well nobody on one out Dodgers a few gifts when Walker ber was on the mound maybe this error right here with SH coming up the Dodgers can make it hurt Alani with a bullet in the right center field and he's two for two he's got both Dodger hits tying on a board in the third Dodgers yesterday had chances W just one for eight with men in scoring position center field it's down a base hit for bcks Here Comes Hernandez throwing to Second 32 game both of ch's hits with two strikes mooki doesn't wait for two strikes there go the runners a double steel and it works he's hit his 42 he's stolen his 41st and that one hurt a little bit second and third two away it's up to tasar Hernandez down the line foul look out sh he's already been hit by one ball on the left shoulder showing some personality with that avoidance wow limbo Matrix a curve is bang the Deep left field watchs it Fly Dodgers Take the Lead it's a couple times in this inning Brett where Burns has been at two strikes and he hasn't been able to put the hitter away and this was just a bad breaking ball it is ball four as santand there coaxes a walk out of BU nine players with double digit home runs now after Ramona rius it is 10th yesterday for the Orioles Ryan's in there with 13 to get get to his career high and he'll line one toward the right field corner it's a two out hit from Oar he's going to try to bring in a run San there will be set around third and the throw will not come a big two out double from Ryan ohar hooking one into the right field corner and the Orioles are back within one that's so turn and bur ohn right there and he turned on that one yeah that's a another third ball Dand like he was pulling a sled around Third Base but he made and so Dave Roberts is going to go to bond bu with his best start since coming off with the injured list as good as he's looked all year inspiring hope again that he could play a role down the stretch now a 54 game Anthony Bond comes in he will face Cedric Mullins Chopper Lux ends the inning Orioles get one halfway home in a 54 game Otani who is two for two on his bobblehead Knight a leadoff home run and then a single with a run scored shot off first Ricochet is awful Hearn who somehow finds it and gets the out at second I mean it is hazardous to play first base and Otani saying sorry that's the hardest ball he's hit tonight he gets an over for it 108 ball is scorched right hand I think it's because the right hand is probably still stinging so now Otani on the bases one out M bets the batter Otani takes off and he'll steal another he'll head for third and then throw on the brakes and now he's going to go again Otani is fun personify poked up the middle off Henderson Dodgers get the insurance otani's into score six to four in the fifth backto back strikeouts from copc on the heels of back-to-back case from Evan Phillips the Dodgers one out way popped off right side of the infield Lux says get out of here I got this and on aon's bobblehead night he starts the game with a home run he steals two bases get some help from his buddy T Oscar and tomorrow will be the rubber match in this highly anticipated series
