vs. D-RAYS, 8/01

[spiritof66]

A little guy with a lot of power is great. Having  "some power" (Ben's words)  can be a liability for little guys -- when they connect, they produce fly balls to the warning track instead of base hits.

Odd spin on Hays bunt. 

Made him work that inning.

[Tony-OH]

The top of the lineup has to work Glasnow a little better than 4 pitches after he just had such a long inning the inning before. Really poor job by Hays, Alberto and especially Santander after the first two went down so quickly.

4 pitch inning.  Can't get much better than that.  (Although it's now possible to have a 2 pitch inning in extra innings).

A zero pitch inning is possible.

Odds that the Orioles are the first team to be retired on 2 pitches?

Not good, you can't be trailing after nine.

The highlights of this game so far have been LeBlanc's changeup and Relish's comeback in the hot dog race

Well I’d like to give a shout out to Austin Hays’ bunt. It failed, but boy that was a beautiful bunt, and if Davis could do that three times a game, he’d have three hits.

Did you see the part where the catcher successfully blocked a ball earlier?

Only if the bases were loaded when the pitcher came on.

Nope.

Three intentional walks and three pickoffs.

Pretty crazy coming from an Orioles catcher.

True enough.

I was thinking about the ability to make outs on the bases.

Let's see whether the middle of the order will show a little more patience than the top.

[O-The-Memories]

I think that should be the last inning for LeBlanc, but I'm guessing he stays in. The last time he started he stayed in a little too long.
