If I were pitching to Ryan Mountcastle, I'd never throw anything in the zone once I had two strikes on him. Actually, I might never throw him a strike

Sure is easy from the couch right?

Urias = useless at second base. I'm no Rio fan, but I'd rather see him out there. What I'd really like to see is the promotion of a young guy or  the pickup of a veteran by mid-June.

That was totally on Urias. DJ made a perfect relay back to 2B. Would have been 1st and 3rd. Urias simply bobbled the ball, runner broke home.

Then why was an error charged to Stewart? There were two errors charged on the play, one each to Stewart and Urias

I think we’re gonna be seeing a promotion very quickly

Take pity on Urias by not giving him both errors?

Sometimes, like his most recent AB, MC makes it look like it's pretty easy from the mound.

It was not a perfect relay, it one-hopped Urias, but Urias was definitely distracted by Laureano chugging to third and booted it.

Pops out of Seve's glove. Don't see that often......

I bet you could get Jonathan Schoop pretty cheap, LOL

Well, I'm pretty sure I couldn't strike him out myself 

But man is he a hacker. I guess we've been missing that since Jones and Schoop left

DJ's throw was on target but short-hopped Urias, and he flubbed it. Urias had plenty of time to decide whether to play the short hop or to take one or two steps back to make the catch easier.

Hays!!

[Moshagge3]

Holy hell, that ball was crushed! How far does that go if it's the old ball from last year?

[Beysbol]

Yeah, baby!! Man, I hope they sweep them! Anyone know when's the last time Baltimore swept the A's in Oakland?

Sounds like Stewart deserved an error,  but it might legitimately have been a catch error by Urias.
