[MongoBoy]

They're not going to score, are they?

[Philip]

Of course, the idea is that you’re supposed to get a hit…

2B isn't LF.  Also Buck "dongs over defense" isn't in charge.

And Mountcastle is no wonder boy defensively no matter where they try to hide him.   Better get his dongs in cause he has no defense either.

Oh phooey.

Does that mean that something is wrong? Or they’re just going to give him a quick look over before sending him on to Baltimore?Does that mean that something is wrong? Or they’re just going to give him a quick look over before sending him on to Baltimore?

Hyde is not very much of doing anything out of the box.  Just let them do what they are gonna do...rookie flailing away at the first pitch of a reliever with the bases loaded..etc. etc.

I think he's going to be solid at first, better than the current options.

So, Santander swings at two pitches nowhere close, gets a mistake pitch and grounds to third for an out. Pinch hit for Broxton with Ruiz who swings at the first pitch and flies out to left. Wilkerson swings at a 2-0 pitch and flies out to right.Ahhh, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

And if Palmer and Hunter slobber any more about how fantastic, great, super, wonderful and amazing Wade Miley is....I am going to puke. 

Turn on the Houston radio feed. When ever possible, listen to the opposing teams radio feed. The only two teams that I consider to be worse in the Orioles are the Red Sox and the Yankees. But the Euston team is actually pretty good. Seattle is too.

I disagree. I have seen a number of the Norfolk games...I am not impressed. He is adequate but not better than Davis or Mancini. 

[tntoriole]

Bases loaded, nobody out...mainly because Renato had no business being on the bases hobbling around...or a run would have scored on the hit...
