I wasn't expecting anything good tonight with LeBlanc on the mound, and figured our luck would run out soon anyway, but geez, the ump isn't making it easy for us. He's only giving LeBlanc the middle of the plate, nothing else even close.

He has had an odd night. Some loud outs. Poor defense and inconsistent ump.

These guys don't quit.  They just keep battling and hitting.  So encouraging.

Good job grabbing onto that base and hanging on, Renato.   Didn't matter because the throw was dropped, but it could have.

[allquixotic]

If the 2B caught that ball it'd be an out, easily. The ball had him beat by 20 feet. Should've kept it to a single. Still, I'll take it, glad the Phils messed up there. We were lucky.

[scOtt]

Seemed like a dangerous slide. For the out dangerous, not injury-wise.

Man, I was sure he was going to be out at 2nd.

Helped that he dropped the ball.

He shouldn't have to, they should be able to do their job.

Adley will help.

Nunez was sure he was safe either way.

[scOtt]

Need to plate these two and fast.

[SteveA]

OK, Dwight sort of makes up for his error.   Let's get these two guys in.

Finally have time to get in front of my computer to keep an eye on the O's game and log into Orioles Hangout and I see this graph posted in comments !.......Are my fellow Orioles fans doubting the eye site of the Home Plate Umpire ???????????

Cutch looked old there.

I'm working from home in northern California, have the Giants/Astros on the TV, the mlb.com Gameday on the laptop with my real work tabs and spreadsheets toggling on the laptop

Didn't recognize the home plate ump's name so I thought he might be a rookie.   But I googled him and this is his 5th season.

I THOUGHT I recognized his name.  

Ramon De Jesus was responsible for the Tigers / Pirates ejection debacle just last week.

I'm talking about this, if you haven't already seen it:
