Villar running up his pitch count over on first.

With good reason. And still a huge jump.

Not tied anymore!!!!!

Forget it, Ned.

Good hard slide by Villar! Catcher stuck his foot in no man's land.

I wonder if all those high 4 seam fastballs were pseudo-pitch puts?

Manufacturing Runs by Jonathan Villar. Orioles best seller.

Contain yourself.

Good hustle by Villar, the blocking the plate rule is fairly toothless if you can still get away with what the catcher did there without any punishment if the runner is safe.

If it is a safety issue, there needs to be a punishment, and if the runner is already safe, there isn't a punishment.

How long with Bleier? It’s a roll of the dice. Hyde knows they scored a run to go ahead, right?

I see no reason why he is getting at bats.

None.

Wilkerson makes me nervous anytime he goes after a fly ball.

None.

I am likewise perplexed.

Bleier doing Bleier things.

Rehab thing? Give him ABs and time for a week or so to make sure he is ML healthy. Then de facto shut him down?
