It’s Geoff Arnold and Brett Hollander tonight on radio. 

Well that makes me feel a bit better. Geoff is ok. Hollander is not. Good heavens, do they get these guys at random off the street?

[eddie83]

I’ve seen some Little League baseball last couple of days. I think he came off bag but why try and steal there? Yes it’s Fenway and you may not score on single to LF but it can’t be close.

Arnold was at Frederick. 

Hollander if you don’t know was a sports then talk show host at WBAL. 

[eddie83]

That pitch was not close.

Some more interesting outfield defense back to back plays.

I did not know, but so what. He’s terrible I mean he’s really terrible.

After that worrisome beginning of the season, Hayes has come back from his injury blazing. He, Mountcastle, Santander, Mancini, and Nunez not a bad power MOO. (Maybe Severino and Ruiz too?)

[SteveA]

Big DP for Cobb if he hopes to earn win #2 of the season in his final start.

I wish I knew more about Urias.

Belanger would have had that one.

Unfortunately, you have to put most guys somewhere in the field, and it's highly recommended  to put just one fielder at a time at first base. Severino and Ruiz are well below average, and IMO are inadequate, on defense -- especially on a team with so many young pitchers. Nunez hasn't hit enough to DH on a regular basis, and I see no reason to think he will. There's no way to know what Mancini will be capable of, but I hope he can get the majority of the ABs at DH next year.

i don't know anything about these guys' backgrounds. I had assumed they're doing Orioles games this year because they work cheap. Is that likely the case, or not?

I feel like I've learned enough for one night.

Angel & Mantra recently retired.  Hunter, Thorne, Palmer, Dempsey, Davis all 70ish.  Looks like they brought back veteran Garceau to hold the prime TV spot while the young crew breaks in on the radio and I guess they hope 1 or 2 of Brown, Arnold, Newman, Hollander will be keepers and eventually inherit the #1 TV spot.

Used to be the top radio spot was the prime role but nowadays with every game televised the TV PBP guy is the alpha.
