vs. PHILLIES, 8/12

[MurphDogg]

Wild play!

[O's84]

Wow!

[O-The-Memories]

Announcers absolutely losing it on the Ruiz play! I've got to see it tomorrow. They said it was a "web gem", was it that good? 

 

[Moose Milligan]

Fantastic play by Ruiz!

[pdiddy]

That was absurd.  Beautiful heads up play.

[Surhoffan17]

Crazy, crazy, play!!!

[Ruzious]

Rio Ruiz literally on a role.  That's gonna leave a highlight.

Not graceful, but spectacular.

But isn’t Lopez terrible? To say nothing of the Infamous Hess.

Well what do you suggest?  Using guys 3 days in a row and going into a what is essentially a doubleheader with no bullpen?  I know you think relievers should get up preemptively every inning from the 3rd inning and any time a pitcher looks bad for a few batters he should be removed, but you can't manage a bullpen that way.

Is it just me or are home plate umpires the worst they've ever been? They're literally making incorrect calls dozens of times a game.

Yeah, it feels that way to me too. I wonder if it is real?

Never seen anything like it! Dove to his left and made a great pick. But then from his belly he literally ROLLS it to Hanser stretching at 2b!

Castro is a long reliever. Always has been and always will be. Was he not great at this when it was his role before? It’s an important role I’m not trying to downgrade him I like him. But I don’t get at all why he’s put in these situations. Hyde really struggles with bullpen decisions I like him otherwise. 

'cause he's one of our top 2-3 relievers.

I know ya can't do that with a football.

Alberto stepping out so as to distract the pitcher?

Yes and totally unique too.  He transferred it from his glove to his hand as he was falling down on his face and flicked to 2nd just before his face hit the dirt and it practically rolled to Alberto who did a great 1Bman's stretch to get it JUST in time while keeping his toe on 2nd base.

Never seen anything quite like it.
