Moose Milligan

Strikeout of Peters.

Santander nice running play catch in foul territory, one down.

Hays strikes out. Ciuffo left at 3rd. Still tied at zero.

Mountcastle strikes out, 2 down. It's up to Hays.

McKenna groundout to 2nd, moves Ciuffo to 3rd.

Ciuffo! Shoots a double to LF barely past the bag into foul territory.

Locked in a pitchers duel, no score with 4 hits for each of the teams. Damn, the Rangers had 762 games played by rookies this year. Orioles are Second with 627.

I've got a lot of rookies from a lot of other better players than McDonald that I thought would set me up for retirement.

I think he was just used to get through the lineup once. I didn't see that he was hurt.

He was fun, IMO. That batting stance was one of a kind. Not a great player but not on a great team.

DJ Peters with the late time call at the plate, thats such a crock of ****. Umpire shouldn't have granted it. Diplan blew another fastball past him, that was nice. Ran it up at 96.

But he's pumped in two quick strikes to Peters. He can't catch up to the fastball.

Diplan with the walk. This could get out of hand here.

Quick two outs but then there's a double down the LF line by Nathaniel Lowe.

Adolis Garcia can't place higher than RMC in the ROY voting. Dude has a .288 OBP. That's like Tony Batista territory.

I'm doing @SteveA's dirty work.

Diplan in the game. Apparently no runs were scored during that interview. Good thing. I would be completely lost right now had runs scored during that interview. Would have ruined the entire experience for me.

WHOA the interview is over and HOLY **** they were playing baseball the ENTIRE TIME!!! How did THAT happen? It's like they were playing a game before...then this guy totally unrelated to baseball got in the booth and I just could NOT tell that there was a game going on, except for a comment from Geoff Arnold here and there....and then he's leaving the booth and it's like WHOA THERE'S THE GAME AGAIN! It's so weird, I can't believe that just happened.

They're challenging the call. Chef wants to know if McDonald is a purist. The call stands. Ben is a purist but believes when calls are blatant, we need to have replay.

There's a baseball game on! Mountcastle lined one to CF, caught for an out and the throw to the plate got Gutierrez. Gutierrez didn't slide. But I don't think it would have mattered.

Chef wants to know how many batters Ben McDonald drilled. Ben seems a little caught offguard by this question.

I think an Oriole just got a hit but I'm not sure. This interview is distracting me.

He's got a lot of baseball cards. He has every rookie of each player in the HoF. But they're not all in great condition. He's got a '21 Babe Ruth, but apparently it's beat to hell.

There IS a baseball game on. Apparently we have a runner on 2nd. Wouldn't have known because of this fascinating interview.

Apparently Jim Palmer doesn't like crabs. Chef Elliot riffing on Palmer's hair.
