I've long said that we need to change our team name to "The 15 Percenters" due to our mastery in failing in 85% scoring probability situations.

Ugh Tony. Patience, man, patience.

We might see every dude on the bench pitch an inning today lol

I know you're all joking, but if he did, don't we lose the DH?

Nice heads up play there RM!

Soooooo.... who was our starter for tomorrow? Cause I have a feeling that dude is going to have to go four innings today instead.

That's the end of Watkins today. No way in the world that didn't break a rib.

The latter, according to his stats

Yes.

And instead of batting, we are down by two. Thanks blue, appreciate that.

Amazing, the impact of what getting our new guy and our hurt guy back did to it.

Oh, we DFA'd him. For some reason I thought I read that he was optioned. Well, I guess some team desperately needing to fill a void at backup catcher could grab him, but are we really in danger of a claim? On the offensive side of things, he and Chirinos were one of the worst catcher pairs in baseball. All the value is defensive.

Everyone going on about this Mussina guy and ignoring all the other great Orioles #35s... I mean, it's an illustrious list, featuring such legends as Adam Plutko, Josh Towers, Danny Valencia, Francisco Melendez, Daniel Cabrera, Greg Aquino, and Dwight Smith Jr! All kidding aside, it's a miracle that Mussina even got the number. If you aren't going to retire it for Mike Cuellar, then who are you going to retire it for?

Bemboom has a solid enough glove to be a good backup catcher, and... Chirinos is 37 years old. It's nice to have Bemboom right there in AAA in case Chirinos gets hurt, falls off a cliff performance-wise, or decides not to resign with us next year. Yes, defensive backup catchers are often a dime a dozen in the league, but it's good to be dealing with a known quantity, and I'm glad we have Bemboom in the system. One less thing to worry about.

And a totally earned W at that.

Some nights, it felt like that was complete by the seventh inning stretch.

Speed on 2nd. McKenna starts there this inning.

That'll do, rookie. That's how you do it.

Well, he is the guy holding Adley down in AAA.

Joint coach and player brain fart. Scenario changed during the at bat to "runner on third goes on ground ball contact" and neither McKenna or the third base coach recognized it.

Both scenarios were in play in the same at bat. Once the runner takes second, the third base coach has to call that change out.

So Brujan came in to pinch run with one out, and not to start the inning? What, was he on the john or something?

Except for not tying the game.

Why not IBB Mateo and set a force option at home? Kinda odd...

Tony needs to gold plate that bat once it reaches its useful end
