He had a 7 game hitting streak last week.

Is that how he got above the Mendoza line?

Ryan looks so calm and comfortable at the plate, for a ROOKIE. He's got to be a hitter!

[Beysbol]

Can anyone tell me why Galvis has a day off when he missed about a week?

That was a pretty sad throw.

Yeah, there are better arms in minor league A ball.

Two straight hits with RISP!

So was it one of those perfect throws to nail Urias or was he stupid for going?  [At work, following on Gameday]

I didn't mind the aggressive move to take second.  It was a close play and the throw had to be perfect.  Urias got the run in, that is the important thing.  We start off next inning with the top of the order.

[WillyM]

Lopez and Kremer are asking where these hits with RISP were when they were pitching the last couple of nights.

I really think the catcher would have gotten Stewart there but he pulled away early to try to get the runner at second. I’d like to see that again 

I don't know.... I like the way it worked out anyways!

[O's84]

How is that not a strike!

Means pitching like the All Star that  he is.

Still tender? Righty-lefty matchup?

From Roch today:

Shortstop Freddy Galvis is out of the lineup after playing in four consecutive games following his recovery from a sore left adductor/groin. He’s gone 4-for-13 with a home run.

“A day off before an off-day,” Hyde said. “Gets a couple days to rest up a little bit.”

Wow! Ray Miller died. Orioles legend!
