What idiot told him to swing away?

That kid was tiring. Joseph on deck and probably his last batter. Had pitch to hit. I don't have an issue with it.

sigh, nobody bunts anymore, not even AAAA middle infielders

Mistake middle in and he pops it up.  This team hasn't been punishing mistake pitches as often as years past.

That's one that someone who usually plays rifles to right or left.

Would you tell me the difference (serious question)? Thanks.

Control is throwing strikes, command is accuracy with the zone to different quadrants. So, while Tillman is throwing more strikes he can often miss his target within the zone because of poor command.

Tejada isn't a good hitter, though. One pitch from hitting into a double play w/ Castillo on the bases. Get runners on 2nd and 3rd, avoid the double play w/ Joseph coming up. It's just ridiculous.

[O's84]

Joseph comes through!

[eddie83]

Terrible defense. 

[LookitsPuck]

Joseph bails out Buck.

I think sometimes you have to trust your hitters.

Double play depth? With no double play in order Gary? Maybe meant they are back.

I know. The throw in was to nowhere. 

[Uli2001]

A manager who takes his starter out in the fifth while ahead, no W rule, that's something you haven't seen here since 2011. Even though in this particular case it didn't work out.

[O's84]

Free Kim.

Joey needs to go to Norfolk.
