Leading Off

It was not fun watching the Orioles in New York. then it was not fun watching the Orioles in Boston. Thank goodness this week is over. Let’s forget that ever happened, and move on. The Orioles are riding high – hanging out at a half game behind the surprisingly surging New York Yankees. Let’s forget a possible Zach Britton injury, and note that the O’s are winning games.

Hashtag Happy Thoughts.

* Gabriel Ynoa – hamstring

* Francisco Pena – thumb cramp

* Wade Miley – target practice

* Jonathan Schoop – hand bruise/swelling

* Welington Castillo – neck spasms/shoulder discomfort –
