Why are we getting four outs?

Maybe to make up for only getting 1 last inning.

Guess is Girardi wants this kid to get more pitches in.

I doubt in real games they would want to chat. 

I think they need to have crowd noise. Huge stadiums are hard without it. Like an empty house.  

I thought it was a st00p1d idea when I first heard about it. But the players seem to like it, and I remember our one game no fans game. (Except for the fans beyond the Picnic Area...) Hearing fould balls bouncing off empty seat was just weird-o-rama!

The Ratt commercial is one of the best Geico ones in a while.

Round and round.

Ah, I just tuned back in. I missed something.

I’m curious what the betting odds will be next weekend in Boston. Orioles will obviously be big underdogs.

Tit for tat? Let Wheeler sit now and we'll give you extra outs next inning?

"Always bet on black."

Nah. This is an organized type of scrimmage basically.  

Would be like moving the ball to the one yard line in football to see how your goal line defense looked.

Nice curve for strike 2 Eshelman!

Yet Girardi is asking for a replay review (which he should win).

[scOtt]

Nice diving play by Hanser into RF. Replay showed the guy was safe by 3/4 of a step?

[SteveA]

Good play by Ruiz for an out, then a really good play for Hanser at 2nd.   Called out but he was safe and it's being reviewed.

[scOtt]

OMG! We have replay for a freaking exhibition game?
