Game 10, Mariners at Orioles

Justus Sheffield vs. Dean Kremer, 4:05pm

Yesterday’s game was a wonder – a huge comeback from a 6-0 deficit fueled by a shut-down bullpen and an offense that simply wouldn’t go away. It was, at least for a day, a complete inversion of everything we expected from this team. The M’s were supposed to be a team built around solid starting pitching, and with enough offense to scratch out close games. The bullpen was a complete unknown, but figured to be a weakness, given how bad last year’s group was, and the fact that the main acquisitions didn’t have a track record of sustained success.
