A lot of this game’s cut shots were focused on a long, passionate dugout powwow between starter Aaron Brooks and pitching coatch Doug Brocail. Well, whatever “Broke” is up to in there, keep it going!
I admit, I was not excited today for an Aaron Brooks start. (Were you?) But he silenced me, just like he silenced the Royals’ bats. Yes, 92 pitches over five innings is too many pitches. But one earned run on seven hits in that stretch? From Brooks, who got his first win as an Oriole, we’ll take that just about any time.
