The Rubber Match (vs. ROYALS, 8/21)

[Yossarian]

Is that the first back-to-back homers for the O's this season?

[Moose Milligan]

Does the 19th amendment allow for women to make bad country music?

[SteveA]

Two caught stealings and a DP.

If we weren't giving away baserunners like candy corns on Halloween we would be up about 8-1.

That move allowed him to only use one guy off the bench instead of two.  When you are dealing with a 3 or 4 man bench, one of whom is a backup C, you need to conserve some guys in case of extra innings or injury.

That's one theory, at least.

Smart guy!

Nice AB DJ.

Even .210 wd be nice.

Hanser! 

I like Hanser.  I hope he's back next year.  Take your OBP and shove it.

Not really since he'd lose walks and extra base hits.  I'm not sure what the cutoff would be but it has to be higher than 210.

I'd rather they just bench him until they need him to pitch.

Alberto with the Earl Weaver Special.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Alberto with 3 run bombs on back to back nights.

Davis might hit .210 in Bowie.

Maybe Norfolk.  I think he needs the juiced ball.

Armstrong in..... Just what the doctor in KC ordered.

Wow, a 1 out sacrifice, something usually reserved for pitchers.  But I guess when the guy who hits over .400 vs lefties and nearly all of it is singles is due, that move might actually be correct.

Back then, a good number of pitcher actually hit better than Martin, as does most of the current Mets starting rotation.

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Atleast it didn't hit him in the head this time...
