How could Chance Sisco possibly know that was a possibility.

WOW! Straight off the brick backstop...

I've actually always hated that brick backstop because that EXACT thing happens.

As soon as I saw that bounce back to the C so fast  I said "oh $#|+", I know was was coming.

Right, and then he jogs half the way.

If the bullpen holds the fort in this game after being handed that Wade LeBlanc start, and the offense somehow manages to score a few more runs to win this game, I'm giving the Oriole bullpen at-large a pass for the rest of the entire season ...... I'm only slightly exaggerating.

Pen has been one of the few bright spots.

Chance is impressive.

The Athletic radio guys just mentioned a couple things: the color guy said that Sisco should have been aware of how the ball bounces back off the wall before attempting to run to third, and both guys said that “...there’s very little athleticism among the Oriole position players.”

They have praise for the bullpen, though. Fourth best bullpen ERA. I hate ERA as a measure of relief success, but that’s still not bad.

I feel like I'm in MD. It's really thundering here in GA.

The last time I checked his stats at baseball savant, he ranked in the 6th percentile in sprint speed. Jogging is as fast as he can go

Bounced 10 feet in front of plate. Needed a snowplow 

Thank you for the clarification, the call didn’t indicate that it was on the pitcher.
