With a win, the Orioles would tie their 2017 win total with 24 games remaining.

And he's about to get a hit. Inspired by Trumbo.

The acoustics on the Rays radio feed is very cozy. I can hear  a couple fan conversations in two different languages. The walk up music is  an order of magnitude or two higher than the ambient crowd murmur.

There is virtually no ambient crowd noise because there's virtually no crowd.

Why is there bunting?

[scOtt]

We got hosed there!

OFFNY must be working out

[Chavez Ravine]

Crazy train LOL.

Davis is a complete and utter failure.

[ChuckS]

Villar will get some flack for not being aware that Davis didn't run home, but Davis's running was ridiculous.  How does a player not score from second base on a ball hit off the wall?

[Chavez Ravine]

That inning was an addendum to the classic “All the ways not to score”

[WillyM]

People can complain all they want about how unfair it is to have a rule requiring runners to get in the 3-foot lane before they reach first base, but unfair or not, it is the rule.

The Orioles really ought to get used to complying with the rule.

The coaches ought to be telling them, every day, "If you bunt and you're running to first, get in the three-foot lane and get ready to touch the base with your left foot as you go by.  Do NOT give the umps a chance to call you out for interference."

If Martin could have done that, the Orioles would have had two runs home and Villar on third base with nobody out.

To all those folks that thought he wouldn't play once rosters expanded.
