Tuesday, May 11: John Means and O's visit Citi Field for the first of two games

This game sucked monkey ballz

[HowAboutThat]

Mullins did a great job of Backing up Hays. So Hays was comfortable diving, but had no chance.

Still, Severino is going to lose it. Two PBs. I thought Villar was going to score on the last one.

And Severino missed the tag. The ball was there in time.

No Ben, he wasn’t” just in front of the throw.”

[Beysbol]

They needed that game and of course Pillar does his usual thing against the Orioles.

Valdez is not a quality closer. He's just the best the Orioles have.

No way it was not a good throw. Even a perfect throw it would have been really close

Yes he was.

The Ruiz play didn't help to start the inning.

Closer is a joke. Ruined an otherwise fun game. 

[spiritof66]

I was going to post, when Hyde made the defensive switches, "OK. Now's the time we put in our defense-first catcher. Oh. wait. I forgot we we don't have one of those."

Severino's inability to catch a thrown baseball is infuriating.

Set the tone. Big difference if that play is made. 

[LocoChris]

Worst loss of the year.

Valdez gave up a ground ball that our "glove first" third baseman misplayed, a ground ball that got through because Mancini was holding the runner, a soft fly ball and another ground ball. When your closer isn't Aroldis Chapman and your IF and catcher defense is questionable these games will happen.

[spiritof66]

Mancin's throw on the last play was off, but I thought Millar beat it anyway.

I couldn't tell whether Mancini had a chance to field the ball closer to the plate. Did he?

I agree. It was
