The sports nerds taketh and then they giveth! Dumb base running.

The Reds are a fast team no doubt. We're not a good matchup with them in that regard because we don't hold particularly well and Rutschman's throwing has really fallen off this year.

Frazier has the range of a sea slug at 2B.

Well they are in first place of a weak division and they can hit a bit. Why the Orioles can't hit their relievers is a mystery.

Rutschman both offensively and especially defensively has taken a bit of a step back this year. I'm hopeful it's more of a sophomore slump then any drop in talent. I feel he's still going to be very good. But the throwing has become an issue and the lack of power this year is disappointing.

Stick to baseball here. We are not going to do this in here. Yes, I mean this to everyone. It's ok to discuss the fact that the broadcast is not focusing on teh game, but we're not going to get into anything else in here. Thanks.

Right on call, Sh-t pitcher Weaver gets a 1-2-3 2nd on what, 10-12 pitches?

So running into an almost assured out that needs a major league player to not make a routine throw and catch is worth it because you think the odds are better than a two-out hit? Let's just say I disagree with you and the Orioles on this. There is a reason teams never have done that throughout the history of baseball. Because its dumb. ESPECIALLY, when you have a pitcher struggling and hot guy on deck.

Rutschman rolling over on outside pitches is getting really, really old.

The good news is the Reds starter has nothing tonight, or at least nothing in the 1st inning. Now watch him come out and have a 10 pitch inning.

Because the bullpen is short after last night and the Orioles risked not making a move to have a fresh long guy available because they didn't think the guy they brought he to not do this is now doing this two starts in a row.

Brown even said this is something the Orioles have studied.

Good Lord, Gibson needs to go give this week's salary to charity because he certainly has not earned his money.

Should be 5-5...

BTW, Gibson is literally trying to destroy this team's bullpen.

I doubt it, because we've seen the Orioles do this over and over. It's clear they believe this the right thing to do and they are wrong.

I'm trying my hardest to ignore this broadcast that is going to try and do everything it can to not talk about the actual game on the field!

Well if true, that's silly. O'Hearn clearly has a role on this team and Hicks at worse will be a good 4th outfielder.

I've never been madder after a 4-run inning. Should have been a 5-run inning without this garbage thought that you run on contact with the infield in and less than two outs. It's frustrating because I know this is some ridiculous statnerd thing. It's like those idiot stat nerds that tell Harbaugh he has .000056% better chance of winning the game if he goes for two early in a game. There are places for the stat nerds to help put players in the best position and then there are times they should be ignored. Hyde and his coaches need to stand up and play the game right.

See, this is what happens when you let computer give you odds on things and decide it's the best call. It doesn't take into consideration how many pitches the pitcher has in an inning. How hard the contact is. Who is up next! You just don't run. Plus, you risk an injury on the slide.

There you go. Westburg would've knocked in Gunnar anyways. Stop doing stupid sh-t!

The Orioles have a sh-t pitcher on teh mound and have already put up 4 rund and you are going on contact with the infielders n the grass? Just freakin' garbage baseball. I don't care what stupid research the Orioles think they've done, but they tell the stat nerds to pound sand and play the game right! You do not run in this situation.

I will say for 9000th time to stop running on contact with the infield in!! The Orioles have done this more times than not! It's a garbage call to send the runner on contact!

Henderson did not miss that middle-middle fastball!! Roped that!

Ouch... Gunnar fouled away a middle middle fastball!!!!
