Happy second half, everyone! The Orioles are kicking things off in balmy Tampa, where the temperature at game time is expected to have a real feel of 94 degrees.
Charlie Morton is on the mound for the Orioles, and I have to admit I’ve come around on old Charlie. I guess that makes sense given that he’s been pitching well for a while now. On regular rest, Morton will have three more starts before the trade deadline. It wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t make that last one. Not for this team, anyway.
I assume Taj Bradley is tired of seeing the Orioles.
