Much better night for Westy after last night! Good call not to run on Rodriguez.

This Cleveland pen is being used like a used Donkey. They have to break at some point.

I understand what you are saying, but again, this was never really an issue until players started do all these swim move head first slides or where they try and slide as far from the player receiving the ball as possible. I mean, it makes sense to do what they are doing, but it comes with the threat of coming off the bag. Every advantage should come with a disadvantage. Now, if a guy goes directly into a bag and bounces off for a split second as he goes over, then I would agree that would be ticky tack.

Nice inning by Vespi against some tough hitters.

And that's the difference in the game when both starter's were shiite!

That's the way things go when things are going bad. They just are not hitting well with runners in scoring position or catching many breaks when given them.

Dang it Santander!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop having shit at bats with runners in scoring position. Seems like if Santander doesn't hit the ball out he sucks with RISP. Now I need to go look up the stats.

Why? If players weren't trying keep their bodies so far away from tags they would easily stay on the bags. Hell, the bags are huge now.

He came off before Ramirez pulled him back.

I think he's out. O's got lucky.

If Kevin Brown would have dropped that reference you would have been all over him!

Basically, this is Cleveland's Brandon Young, an undrafted 2020 pitcher.

Yeah, we are going to need an off night from these guys. They've been worked fairly hard so maybe they are due.

Betcha Cowser does not see a fastball in the strike zone.

I wish there was a way to determine how far away from the target a ball is thrown to see if Cowser holds the record this year. It would be a fun thing to bet on as well! And I don't sports bet!

He was so emphatic over it I thought so too. But then I saw the replay and was like, "C'mon bro?"

They are good, but somebody is going to have to prove they are better in this offense.

He did make a nice throw though there. Kjerstad is not getting there and making that throw most likely.

What, and have the horrors of seeing Kjerstad have to potentially face a lefty later? Hyde can't have that.

Damn, I thought Mateo would beat that out.

Don't interrupt my rants with facts!

But that was because they didn't know he was up there announcing yet.

Baker needs to take his Beard and shave into a Al Hrbosky Fu man chu. That would rock.

All I know is that Dave Johnson was a color guy off and on during some craptastic seasons. Now he's back and the Orioles 0-4 looking at 0-5 while he's announcing. You do the math!

1st base was open. He had been giving up hard contact all game, JRam seems like the exact guy who would be in the Hall of Fame if he could face guys with Irvin's stuff. No way you let that happen. A manager's job is to put his players in the best position to succeed. Hyde did not.
