Well, crap. I better go see Matt Wieters here in Frederick before he moves on.

Nice shot by Adam.

[RShack]

Just to be clear, so I don't violate anyone's sensibilities, is it Millar (the bum), a parenthetical, or Millar, the bum, an apositive?

What's the convention?

Good question. Depends on the sentence, I suppose...

Also, just to be clear, I like the guy. A while ago, back when everybody was hating on him (right before they switched back to LH), I just decided to call him a bum until he snaps out of it and gets back to his normal self.

Millar was on first due to an error by Gordon...

Figures. A bum like him wouldn't get a real hit...

Ramon has gotten robbed of two hits tonight.

[brvn52]

Nice shot my Jones. Good to see..

[Keith SIO]

If Bynum can hit opposite field, he can really help our team.

[blueberryale77]

He needs a hug...and a nurse;)

I will help him!

Are you sure? Cuz I really think he needs an urban planner.

Out of 84 pitches thrown by Cabrera tonight, 73 of them have been fastballs with 11 sliders. He's only thrown sliders to two batters, Buck and Butler. Everybody else is only seeing fastballs...

[RVAbird]

DCab has only thrown a few sliders tonight. He is getting most of his outs on his fastball alone. I don't think he's thrown a single changeup or curve yet...

He has thrown curveballs, I think gameday just recognizes them as sliders because of the high velocity and sharp break.

[Keith SIO]

that was a homer in camden.

[JTrea81]

He has thrown curveballs, I think gameday just recognizes them as sliders because of the high velocity and sharp break.

Ok, thanks for the info. I thought it would be strange he'd only throw fastballs and sliders. But still only two batters have seen his breaking pitches...

[JohnLockesGhost]

Ronnie sure is a dillweed.

And Hell sure is Joe Morgan chatting.

Thing is with Joe Morgan's color is that every hit, and I mean EVERY hit, is due to a mistake by the pitcher. Most likely, he got the pitch up, even if the replay clearly shows the pitch down. Sometimes, Joe, good pitches get hit. That's what I like about Palmer's commentary so much. He rolls with every play instead of following some script.

[blueberryale77]

Well damnit, almost a slumpbuster on 0-2.

[mrbig1]

another scoring chance down the drain.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Are you sure? Cuz I really think he needs an urban planner.

Nope...he doesnt!

I had to go out and pick up a kitten for my girl, how has Freddie looked at short?
