Facing a team full of Goliaths, the 5'9" David strikes the first blow.

Call me crazy, but I don't think Stewart makes that catch that Hays just did.

I was coming into the house from the car, missed the ball.  What did Lopez do?

Got LaMaheu to bounce out to third.  Hit Rizzo. Balked.  Got Judge to ground to third.  Got Stanton to ground weakly to third - good bare-handed play by Franco to just beat him.

I wish Franco had a better bat.  His defense has been serviceable at third.  He has a strong arm.  He just can't hit very well.

He had good (not great) offensive seasons in 2018 and '20 as a regular and is only 28 years old. So I'm actually expecting a much improved last two months of this season from Franco, as long as he's not hampered by injury.

Sorry that was autocorrect.  I meant to say I "missed the balk" but autocorrect changed it to "ball".  I was specifically wondering what he did to balk.  I was in the house in front of the TV in time to see the very good Franco play.

I'm not watching, Gameday has it listed as

Doubles on a pop up to Left Fielder Joey Gallo.

Can someone give me a rundown so I don't have to wait for video to be posted?

Ryan brought his hands in and found part of the bat and dumped it into left field. Quick hands

      Of course I’ll be watching. Filled with dread in all likelihood. As will most of us.  LOL.

      Very interesting to read through this. Full of optimism…those were good times. Turns out I voted 91-94. Such pessimism…grrr…and even that was too little. Several of the posters should run out and buy lottery tickets because they are definitely prescient.

      With Urias and Westburg back in the lineup...

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      During all the hullabaloo about the team floundering, way too little was said about fundamental baseball judgement and defense. In a game a couple days ago, a guy came up to bat with runners on. This guy is all speed and defense, with no power, and bunted for a single. The radio guys pointed out that with a bunt threat at the plate, the defense moves in to anticipate the bunt, but this wasn’t done. He barely beat out the throw. Even two steps in from the defense would have been the difference. Little flubs like that happen CONSTANTLY, and don’t count as errors, but good teams avoid them without even thinking. The OF collision two days ago. Why did that happen? It shouldn’t have, and wouldn’t have with a good team, yet we’ve had at least three, two of which resulted in serious injury. Westburg and Urias are both solid players with solid fundamentals. Even if they don’t blaze away at the plate, they haven’t forgotten their defense, and we can hope that will be enough to get us to 90 wins.

      The Boys are back and you're going to be in trouble.  Hey-la Hey-la. The Boys are back.

      I was just reading my unread posts in the thread, and didn’t notice that your post was a week old.   And I don’t consider that I called you out.  The post sort of read like the outcome of the playoffs was so certain that there was no point in watching, so I was ribbing you about it.  Nothing personal intended. I have a feeling you’ll be watching!

      I was expecting Boston to be last and NY to be fourth…I never expected the Jays to be as bad as they’ve been, and the Rays are always good.

      Fewer than 3% of our posters thought the O’s would win under 90 games this year.  They can still win 90, but it will take a 4-3 finish or better to do it.
