Yeah, he is. Don't know what happened to him.

Mancini is really struggling

 

I think it is mostly fatigue.

Have to think his stamina isn't where it normally is.

I still can't wrap my mind around the replay review.  Does the replay ump really have blanket powers to completely re-do what happened on the field to correct an umpire error, even saying a guy who was tagged out on the bases and never approached home plate actually scored?

I mean, he got the results of the play exactly what they would have been if the ump hadn't signalled out, but I just had never seen that level of complete judgement and rearrangement of results by a replay ump before.

That was a topic when replay started. I’m having a difficult time trying to remember anything similar to what happened in the 1st. That call was really messed up. 

[slakattack]

Is it possible that Matt’s bad luck from fielding support has something to do with they’re being too much traffic in the first place?

[Yossarian]

Talk about Murderer's Row:  Urias, McKenna, and Valaika go 5-6-7 in the O's lineup.  That has to put fear into an opposing pitcher.

[Yossarian]

Wynns not able to catch up to that 90 mph fastball up in the zone and then K's on the same pitch Mouncastle did - the 76 mph 12-6 curve.

Yeah. Great person, good defensively, but he needs to put the bat on the ball. Even a ground out or fly out is better than a K. 

[Yossarian]

Mountcastle can't figure out Ryu.  He is slumping a little of late - has just 3 hits in his last 7 games (.120 average) and a  .212 in his last 15 games.

How long is that guy going to leave the blonde gal with the white sleeveless shirt behind homeplate sitting there alone?

Diarrhea

[Matt Bennett]

That’s GOTTA be it for Harvey. He doesn’t need to make another start before the All-Star Break. Perhaps Means is ready in 10 days. 

[O's84]

The experiment is over.

It's almost enough to make me want Chris Davis to be healthy. And whoever thought Maikel Franco's bat would be missed with his injury. 

[HowAboutThat]

I wish Harvey would go away.

”for whom?”

”for anybody.”

no, I’m not informed about the minors(but trying to learn) but if anyone might be even replacement level or better, there’s no reason not to let that person have a shot.

[Yossarian]

The Birds look like a completely different team at the plate with Ryu pitching.  He has outsmarted every hitter and has great control of where he wants to throw the ball.

[HowAboutThat]

I wish Plutko would depart as well…
