Good thing that I actually attended the game in person-- so far, the O's haven't lost a game when I do that (caveat: tiny sample size).


Here are my thoughts:

1. It's nice to see Buck finally coming to his senses. The closer-by-committee approach in the 9th worked today, if only barely (the quick hooks were enough to prevent further damage, though).

2. In a sense, Chen's quality start and Jones' and Davis' homers bailed out the rest of the team... because not scoring with RISP is still an issue.

3. Looks like "you don't steal on Wieters" still applies.

4. Do I need to say more about Machado's defense at 3B?
