I am shocked, just shocked that both Stanton and Judge are hurt again.

 

They might be too large to hold up.

4 pitch walk with a 4 run lead.  That's got to drive Hyde crazy.

For sure.  Especially after Hyde said yesterday how happy he was that the walks are down.

Castro is killing us lately.

The Nationals radio guys aren’t very good but they aren’t bad.

However, they are surprisingly respectful of the Orioles in general, without being “tip your cap“ suck ups.

They aren’t pulling any punches against Castro, though. They are noticing that he has suddenly lost his control after initially looking good.

The eternal jinx, Hyde's mistake.  No, but to be serious, I think Castro threw like 8 balls in the last 9 pitches.

Tanner Scott still makes me nervous, too.

He sure did.

Scott’s a beast!

That was a f'ing strike but McDonald makes a good point about how where the catcher was set up vs where the pitch was.

Nice to get out of it before Soto.

[O's84]

Strike 4!

Tanner Scott.

The Castro ninja GIFs along with the catchers, Ruiz and Santander are trying to make it tougher keeping this at arm's length, but no matter how sexy the occasional ninja highlight is, 8 balls in 9 pitches in that spot has signature significance to me this is still a work in progress.

Hays looks awful

Adam Jones never looked so bad on a slider.
